Malayalam films 2011-English Mania
I'm here not speak about the English Movies to DVD to Malayalam movies in 2011.There is another topic.
Wikipedia has a list of Malayalam films released in 2011.
Here's a list of noted Malayalam films.
Adaminte makan abu,Traffic,Melvilasom,Beautiful,Indian Rupee,Salt N' pepper,City of God,Chaappa kurish
Did you notice anything? Malayalam director Siddique needs a special mention here.All his films,from Ramji Rao Speaking to Bodyguard, have English titles!.Among the above listed Malayalam films, only three have a Malayalam title!
Beautiful - It's a beautiful movie.No doubt.They could find a Malayalam name.
Indian Rupee -Don't want 'Bharatheeya rupa'.But atleast, 'Indian rupa'?
Salt N' pepper - Easily 'uppum mulakum/molakum'.For me it would have been a good one.OK, there may be a lack of 'standard' in Malayalam?
City of God- no idea..
Let's take a look at other films
Not out-bowled out in the first ball!
Race-what is the name of its parent.Race?
Living Together-no idea..
Christian Brothers - if it is 'Christi an brothers', there would have chance.(like Krishnanum Radhayum)!
China Town-no idea
Doubles-don't mention please
Lucky jokers-no idea..
The Train- 'theeeevandi' if you want a direct translation
Uppukandam Brothers Back in Action- longest English title of this year?
Three Kings -inspired from 3 idiots?
The film star- no idea..
Bangkok Summer-They wanted to tell us that the film is shot in Bangkok,that too in summer.
Scene No: 001- ??
Teja Bhai & Family- proverty of Malayalam language at it's peak?
Doctor Love- Doctor is a familiar word. Love is familiar. But this is 'combined'.
Sandwich-no Malayalam translation since it's not a Malayali breakfast like appam/putt.
Happy Durbar- No idea..
Below are more films.Are they English words?
The metro
makeup man
Seniors
Maharaja Talkies
Violin
Collector
Sevenes
Sarkar Colony
Koratty Pattanam Railway Gate(Half malayali)
My Dear Kuttichathan 3D(again a half malayali)
Khaddama is neither Malayalam nor English.What about Mohabbath?
There is a manglish title also Payyans.
But I really think that most of these non-Nalayalam titles are better thn some Malayalam titles like 'Raghuvinte swantham Raziya'
Anyway i hope they will give an English-Malayalam dictionary with the movie tickets in future!
