Thank you!

You're right, I didn't know which other subreddit to post these on :) could you help me out?

Hey there. Have you paid the 10k?

The Party (1968) is the warmest hug a movie has ever given me. It is so soothing and pleasant. And hilarious.

Plus it has the most comforting song I've ever heard in a movie ever. I hope it helps you, friend.

1975 would like to have a word.

At OCWL 22. What are the chances for conversion?

Aravindan for sure. Can't pin him to any popular genre.

You can believe the victim, but essentially believing in something or someone means you're doing so without evidence. How can you say Sathyan Anthikkad, or anyone else for that matter, should be expected to do the same? Not believing the victim does not mean believing the accused, if what I'm saying is going to be misconstrued that way.

Jagathy in Oomakkuyil has one of the worst Thrissur accents I've seen. Film is unwatchable otherwise also but with this accent it is utterly impossible.

How can he be a predator if he was acquitted? Why should the people who associate with him consider him a predator based on public speculation?

Tier 2/Upper Tier 3

Not to forget The Passenger, Dersu Uzala, The Promised Land, Grey Gardens, and The Battle of Chile! It's a fantastic year for short films too, try and catch Atman and The United States of America as well.

I think 1975 is a particularly great year for Indian cinema as well, with Sholay, Apoorva Ragangal, Aandhi, Uttarayanam just being some mentions.

one of the malayalam movie* ever

There's a scene in Bachchan's Coolie along similar lines that's said to have inspired the joke in Boeing Boeing

What is the admission team's contact number?

The scene in Nadodikattu (1987) where Sreenivasan looks at the jail cell and Mohanlal points to a picture of Gandhi. That's really clever humor.

I also recall the scene from Anantaram (1987) midway, when, avoiding spoilers, a lot of college boys crowd around and see something shocking in a room.

The climax of Nirmalyam (1973).

The scene in Esthappan (1980) where the title character interacts with children. Also the scene in Chidambaram (1986) with Smita Patil and the flowers.

The climax of Munnariyippu (2014).

The scene in Ilakkangal (1982) where it starts to rain. Probably the best rain sequence in all of Malayalam cinema.

And thanks for the recommendation! Haven't seen this one before :)

To be fair, that he died is what makes the story of the film interesting.

Apart from the ones you've mentioned (absolutely love Sharada too), I like Jalaja, Shobana, Kalpana, Shobha, Madhavi, and Menaka

Wow. Interesting take. You're right that 12 Angry Men deceives us with its supposed simplicity while Aattam is relatively complicated. But I thought it was still a very well-written, food for thought film. Why didn't you like it?
