Why Jaya jaya jaya jaya hey was also a block buster movie. But u didn't call the cast of that film like this. Why this partiality?
These people are so humble in my opinion . And one thing I noticed is they are constantly acknowledging the technicians and their hardworks which can never been seen in our bollywood. A lead actor praising child artist ,71 year old supporting artist. I dont remember seeing such things here.

What is a national channel? Hindi speaking or English speaking channels? Nobody bothers about Hindi speaking channels in south. For that matter even English channels are not very popular here. For people in south India, all channels are the same and cater to their audience in a language that is understood by that audience.

The golden rule for any interview is the host should listen to the guests while they are talking and dont interrupt. This lady sticks to this ALWAYS. ❤
I was literally waiting for this interview. Being a Malayali living in Mumbai makes me proud even more when good content driven mallu films work. All these individuals are so rooted to the industry & have passion /urge to do things better in a limited budget is another plus in a way. Kudos to the entire 2018 team. As Tovi rightly mentioned now a days people wait for the streaming platforms to watch the movies but he pitched it so straight that I have decided to watch the movie with my family soon. All the best guys. Please spread ur message to the universe so that mallu movies are taken up by the distributors world wide. Last but not the least it's this emotional connect the Ketalites showcased during the calamity & this is THE KERALA STORY we want to cherish. Luv u guys

I realized that after the interview. The audience is not familiar with the actor Asif ali .he is a fantabulous actor in the Malayalam industry. I can suggest you some of his movies 1. Anuragakarikkin Vellam,2.Kooman,3.uyare, 4. Kettiyol anente malakha, 5. Rorschach. The list is not over some more movies are remaining.

This is the real Kerala story. After watching this movie me and my cousins noticed the crowd was completely silent (pin drop silence), goosebumps. One of the best movie ever watched.
They pulls out one of the best film country has seen, yet gives credit to 5 year old supporting cast. Such humble humans ... proud of them
I am proud that I discovered and appreciated Malyalam movies before 2019.
Jude Anthony's lucky charm is Vineeth sreenivasan! Whenever he cast him the movie becomes hit.
Jude: if you're not going to do this movie then I won't do this movie. Tovi: then I'm emotionally broken and said yes.❤️
The Malayalam film "2018-Everyone is a Hero" has been chosen as India's official entry for the 96th Academy Awards. The film, based on the Kerala floods of 2018, was unanimously selected by the 16-member jury of the Film Federation of India.
You too brutus is the movie that brought Tovino under my radar. Its simple role, but i feel its one of Tovinos best performance. He single handedly raised the standard of that movie, from an OK to enjoyable movie.
Now our cinema industry entered to real pan india level❤🔥
So great to see Our malayalam movies capturing heights and thanks to such film critics who are acknowledging their effort 🙌
Proud malayali 🌹❤ true kerala story ✨ adore how Tovino explained the process 👌🌼

Unable to get weekend tickets here in Houston, Texas. They have increased the number of shows after seeing the huge demand. Glad to see people flocking to the theatres again. Great job 2018 team !
Jude sir direction is amazing and all performances are superb
I just loved the way tovino incorporated malayalam into the interview... Dhairyam indenki enne vechu oru padam koodi eduku 😂😂
The best thing about Malayalam audience is that we go and watch the movie for the director not the actor . We love beautiful stories and we also love experimental films that are are good. We really don't care if the actor is superstar or not .we just want the film to be great. Even if a well known superstar from our industry act in a bad movie that movie is not gonna run with just the starpower.
Feeling proud and so much happy to this interview 👏✨✨🥰 One of the best n best movies from malayalm film industry 😇😇2018 A real story 😑excuted perfectly 🔥🔥🔥🔥Tovino Asif everybody done a great job.😍😍😍
This was my first movie in a theatre. I usually saw movies in online platforms but I waited to see this movie in a theatre. It was completely worth it. The Real Kerala Story 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also to note, Malayalam cinema has always been story driven and content driven, its just in the recent past that the majority of the crowd are getting to watch cause of the evolution of the way we consume content around. Only if these vehicles and mediums were available back in the days/years, you would still see some gems. What we are seeing in recent times are the just fruits of the past, cause we've had some great writers and directors...Story was always the hero, everything else revolved around it but yes glad that bigger platforms like FC are putting light on Malayalam cinema :)

THIS IS THE REAL KERALA STORY. For those who thinks malayalam industry is been best in the recent years...this is not our golden era... our golden era was in the 80s ... the content was way ahead way ahead to those time that people cant even imagine... But at some point we lost our path and were driven into commercial trashes. But again we are back home. Imagine when you celebrate bhool bhulayya now we celebrated it in 93. Lyk many there are many many...This is the real kerala story.
