‘Padakkalam' to ‘Gaganachari': Anime influence in Malayalam cinema
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) A few years ago, if someone said anime would start influencing Malayalam cinema, you might've raised an eyebrow. After all, Malayalam films have always leaned into realism — intimate stories, everyday people, quiet emotional punches. But things are shifting. Slowly, subtly — and surprisingly. It's not like characters are sprouting blue hair or shouting attack names. But something's changing. The colors. The moods. The tone. You can almost feel it — especially if you've grown up watching anime. A different kind of visual energy Take 'Padakkalam'. On the surface, it's a Malayalam film. But visually? It's bold. Loud. Almost too bright at times — in a good way. Characters are a little exaggerated, scenes are cut with sharp energy, and the storytelling has this vibrant, kinetic feel. For anyone who's spent hours binging 'My Hero Academia' or 'Jujutsu Kaisen', it hits familiar nerves. Padakkalam - Official Trailer It's the kind of film that feels like it was made by someone who's spent some time in anime worlds — or at least deeply respects them. "Me and director Manu are hardcore anime fans" - 'Padakkalam' writer Nithin C Babu Recently in the Kerala Pop Con meet, the 'Padakkalam' writer Nithin C Babu revealed that he and the director Manu Swaraj are hardcore anime fans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Halapitan: Beautiful New Senior Apartments with Two Bedrooms Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo He said, "We are hardcore anime and DC fans. There are several easter eggs and One Piece action figures in 'Padakkalam'. The 'One Piece' fans may know about Arlong Park and in it, there is an entry sequence of Luffy and gang which is exactly used in a sequence in 'Padakkalam'. It is replicated shot by shot in 'Padakkalam'. We are that much dedicated in putting all such references in the movie." The writer further said that they didnt take the references randomly but they had inserted it intentionally. (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Gaganachari is weird — and that's the point Then you've got Gaganachari. A sci-fi mockumentary from Kerala? Ten years ago, that sentence wouldn't even make sense. But here it is — funny, eccentric, dystopian. If you squint, it feels like something from 'Cowboy Bebop' or 'FLCL'. It jumps genres without apology. That's straight out of anime's playbook. "Maniyan Chittappan' will be a combo of 'Rick and Morty' and 'Doctor Strange' - Arun Chandu Talking to Film Companion, the 'Gaganachari' director Arun Chandu said that the next part of the movie which is called 'Maniyan Chittappan' will have the influence of the series 'Rick and Morty' (even though it's not an anime). He said, "Maniyan Chittappan' will focus on the adventures of a mad scientist." Dubs made a difference Here's what a lot of people don't realize — anime is now available dubbed in Malayalam. Over a dozen series, including Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man, have local versions. That's huge. Kids in Thrissur or Kozhikode are growing up with the same characters Tokyo teens love. And when those kids become filmmakers? Well, don't be surprised if those influences sneak into the screen. Reddit's already ahead of the curve You should see some of the fan theories and wishlists floating around online. One person wants 'Erased' adapted as a Malayalam thriller. Another pitched Lijo Jose Pellissery directing a live-action horror inspired by' Junji Ito'. Are these real projects? No. But the fact that people are dreaming like this says a lot. There's an appetite. A hunger to blend the worlds. Morality tales, Malayalam style Here's the kicker. You don't have to change Malayalam cinema too much to align with anime. Look at 'Minnal Murali'. A small-town guy with superpowers, figuring out how not to mess it all up? That could be any number of anime plots. Themes like justice, identity, loss — both formats love digging into them. With the increasing love for anime among the Malayali audiences and many of them turning to filmmakers, it can be expected that there will be more of anime references in Malayalam cinema in future.

Inside Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding: All about the itinerary and cost of the Venetian nuptials
The festivities have kicked off with a stylish (and pretty expensive) splash! Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to tie the knot with former news anchor Lauren Sánchez, and the couple has finally kicked off their wedding festivities in Venice. Being hailed as the Wedding of the Century, the couple's Venetian wedding is precisely the sum of several extravagant affairs, spanning three glittering days, and is cloaked in secrecy – an event that blends high society, Hollywood glamour, big fat charity donation cheques, and historic Italian charm dipped in uber rich arragements. The foamy kick-off! Bezos and Sánchez's lavish wedding festivities kicked off with a birthday celebration in Bezos' $500 million mega yacht, Koru, anchored off the coast of Cres Island in Croatia. Imagine an ocean of bubbles, sun-soaked laughter, glamorous swimwear, and the gentle chug of a private yacht transforming into a floating nightclub. This was no casual pre-wedding gathering – it set the tone for a weekend of extravagance that Venice had never seen before. The couple was spotted enjoying the pre-wedding buzz with a foam party, reportedly held in honour of Sánchez's son, Evan, who just turned 19, as hinted by a 'Happy Birthday" banner spotted on the yacht. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Donned in a red and black bikini, a pair of chic sunnies, and a wide-brimmed hat, the bride-to-be was seen enjoying herself with her friends and her fiancé. As Bezos complemented her with his casual yet stylish avatar in black beach shorts, sunnies, and a bucket hat, the couple was seen indulging in PDA ahead of their Venetian nuptials. Wedding of the century: The elaborate itinerary The grand weekend began with a welcome dinner infused with Venetian charm at Scuola Grande della Misericordia, the ornate 14th-century confraternity hall donned with Renaissance frescoes. Guests – capped at around 200 to avoid overwhelming the city – arrived via an entire fleet of water taxis, navigating through narrow canals to moor at the ancient site. The guest list? This is where the Hollywood glam and political royalties mix with the tech titans. The heavyweight guest list includes Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, and the Trumps – to name a few! The next morning began with scenic cruises aboard Koru, offering intimate lagoon views and laughter-filled moments amid the dreamy morning light. By afternoon, back on land, guests checked into lavish suites at Venice's five-star icons – the Gritti Palace, Aman Venice, Hotel Danieli, Belmond Cipriani, and the St. Regis – where nightly rates reportedly ranged from $3,200 to over $32,000. The D-Day: The ceremony Time for the big moment! The D-Day, with a dash of drama! Though early rumors hinted at a floating ceremony aboard Koru, Venetian regulations meant the wedding itself likely took place at San Giorgio Maggiore's majestic basilica or again at Scuola Grande, before being moved to the secure Arsenale compound due to geopolitical and security reasons – especially around high-profile attendees like Ivanka Trump On the other hand, the bride-to-be is set to walk down the aisle in custom couture – rumored to have the touch of THE Anna Wintour! Wedding of the 'riches'! The whirlwind weekend has been orchestrated by elite planners Lanza & Baucina (with whispers even of Clooney wedding planners) – from midnight festivities to morning transports, security logistics, and a carefully choreographed canon of events. Around 250 handpicked guests are to be pampered across five of Venice's most opulent hotels, including the legendary Cipriani on Giudecca Island and the Aman Venice – famously chosen by George Clooney for his 2014 wedding to Amal Alamuddin. Over 90 private jets, hundreds of water taxis, and local vendors providing 80% of the amenities – it has been breathtaking, even so logistically. But here comes the million-dollar question – how much is the wedding costing the couple? The full cost of the festivities is expected to soar between €40–48 million (approximately $46.5–$55.6 million), according to Veneto regional president Luca Zaia. But here's the twist! Bezos and Sánchez are determined to 'give back' as they're set to mark and celebrate one of the biggest milestones in their relationship. So, what's the plan? They are apparently purchasing most of their wedding supplies from Venetian merchants, including Laguna B, a Murano glassblower, and Rosa Salva, the city's oldest pastry maker. And the most surprising move? No gifts: instead, guests were invited to donate to Venetian charities, a well-thought nod to temper local backlash and economic scrutiny.
