'Lion' is king among Malayalam films

Kochi, Feb 6 (IANS) Wild animals dominate Kerala's cinema theatres this fortnight with "Lion" naturally stealing a march over "Tiger".

The top five Malayalam films are:

1. "Lion" - This is political thriller from the team of actor Dileep and director Joshiy. An unprecedented opening has taken the film to the top.

2. "Rajamanikiyam" - This film is sure to complete 100 days in theatres, which is a rare feat considering the audience's fickle nature.

3. "Tanmatra" - It is one of the most discussed films of recent times. The tact with which director Blessy has tackled Alzheimer's disease has touched the intelligentsia.

4. "The Tiger" - Suresh Gopi plays a suave cop for the umpteenth time. Only nostalgic appeal has sustained this film.

5. "Achanurangatha Veedu" - Director Lal Jose gets realistic with this film. The story of a converted Christian played by Salim Kumar won kudos for bold experimentation in theme and casting.
