It's a Saturday and lemme chew your brains a little: Which famous Malayalam movie has a part of this song in the midst of one of its iconic scenes?
Okay, next. In which movie a giant mallu actor poorly sings a Leonard Cohen song in a bar

Ps: this should be way up on the lists of pretentious things mallu movie directors do to "intellectualize stuff"
Another: Which Malayalam movie name-drops Orhan Pamuk before 4mins from its start? (Scene: a top writer forgets in which book Pamuk wrote "I read a book one day and my whole life was changed"; and a more genius writer, who remains unpublished, tells him it is 'The New Life'
Another: Before 5 mins since the start, name-drops Marquez to Bob Marley to Kunjunni mash. Then tells us that the hero thinks Arundathi Roy& Aravind Adiga are trash. Ofc the hero is a writer (too)
On the dir's own record of pretentious Mallu movies, this would be the ultimate
Mammootty and Mohanlal: The two names that have been at the center of Malayalam cinema for nearly five decades now. But out of them, who has done the most Malayalam films in a year?
Mohanlal did 36 movies in 1986. Many of you would think Mohanlal was more ubiquitous in the pre-90s era. But no. Mammootty did some 34-35 movies from 83-85, much higher than Lal. Think of it, that's work 365 days, 24*7. When they say they worked hard to bcm actors, they mean it.
