Watching a movie in 3D is always an immersive experience, despite some critics. Coming to Mollywood, the industry seems to be shifting its gears to a new realm, and the most basic one would be 3D movies.
Let's take a look at the 3D wave happening in the Malayalam film industry.
'Aadu' venturing into 3D
Jayasurya and Midhun Manuel Thomas' hit series 'Aadu 3' is reportedly in 3D format. This shows how the Malayalam filmmakers are pushing the boundaries of 3D by not only limiting it to fantasy or fictional movies. Director Midhun Manuel Thomas surely would have seen the scope of storytelling via 3D, enhancing the theatrical experience; otherwise, a talented scriptwriter and filmmaker like him wouldn't be opting for such a format.

'Shooting with 3D cameras is a very tough thing to do' - Tovino Thomas
Now let's move on to the production part of a 3D film. In a conversation with Mid Day, the 'ARM' actor Tovino Thomas said that shooting a movie in 3D is quite challenging. He said, 'Shooting with 3D cameras is a very tough thing to do.
It takes more time and effort.'
Coming to 'ARM', what the makers did was 3D conversion rather than shooting in 3D camera. He said, ''People won't be able to tell whether we shot it with 3D cameras or converted it later, because the technology has come so far. We already have clear guidelines on how to shoot for 3D conversion — there's a specific approach to follow, and our cinematographer was fully aware of that from the start.'
Do all films require 3D?
Well, the answer would be a clear NO! While 3D may enhance the theatre-viewing experience, not all stories are perfect that way. There may be several sequences added just for the sake of creating that 3D visual, and this would serve no purpose to the actual storyline.
For a movie like 'My Dear Kuttichathan', 3D experience is well worth it. But if one were to pick a 3D format for a film like 'Drishyam', it would be a complete no and would feel complete injustice towards the content of the movie, unless there are some genuine reasons for adding 3D elements (hopefully there won't be any).
Coming to the upcoming Jayasurya starrer 'Kathanar The Wild Sorcerer', it's quite sure that the 3D elements will work as everyone knows the storyline and how it can be perfectly suited for a 3D experience.
Shooting in 3D or not, as we always say, the content of a movie matters.

More recently, she impressed audiences with her impactful role in the true-crime docuseries Dancing on the Grave.

Taking to Instagram, the actress finally decided to address the matter head-on. In a bold clarification, Shafaq confirmed that she is not participating in Bigg Boss 19.

Meena Mir on playing Gayatri Devi in Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani; says ‘My mother may have been my inspiration but…'
Actress Meena Mir, who is currently essaying the role of Gayatri Devi in Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, recently shared how the character resonated deeply with her personal life. Initially, she thought it would be effortless to bring Gayatri Devi alive on-screen since the character reminded her so much of her own mother. However, the journey proved to be far more layered and demanding than she expected. Reflecting on her experience, Meena said, 'When I first heard about the character of Gayatri Devi, I instantly felt connected because she reminded me so much of my own mother. Growing up, I have observed my mother very closely—her way of speaking, her reactions in different situations, the way she carried herself with dignity yet warmth. That made me feel this role would come naturally to me. I thought I already knew the tone, the expressions, and the small details, so it felt like an easy task in the beginning. ' But stepping into Gayatri Devi's shoes soon made her realize that portraying a character on-screen is more than just imitation. 'Once I started portraying Gayatri Devi, I realized that living a character on-screen is very different from observing someone in real life. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo My mother may have been my inspiration, but bringing that essence alive on camera demanded a lot more effort, patience, and discipline. I had to balance strength with gentleness, authority with empathy, and tradition with emotions, all at the same time. That made me understand the deeper layers of Gayatri Devi, and in the process, I also discovered a new respect for my mother's silent strength in real life.' Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani tells the moving story of Ghevar, a spirited girl from rural Rajasthan , whose life changes when fate places a newborn child in her family's care. As love, sacrifice, and hidden truths intertwine, the show explores the resilience of women and the promises that shape their lives. Meena's portrayal of Gayatri Devi adds gravitas to the narrative, grounding the story with authenticity and emotional depth.
