Best Malayalam Movies: Get ready for the 2025 highest-rated Malayalam movies! From gripping crime thrillers to dramatic dramas, the year is filled with blockbuster movies. Jan 10 boasts Arjun Ashokan and Anaswara Rajan in a laugh-out-loud story of mayhem and rumor-spreading. Malakkapara (Jan 9) delves into a crime investigation with Asif Ali and Manoj K. Jayan delivering great performances. For a lighter touch, Basil Joseph's Comedy (Jan 30) brings together humor and low-key storytelling, as Mammootty's detective thriller (Jan 23) offers a thrilling whodunit. Other attractions include Oru Jaathi Jaathakam (Jan 31), with Vineeth Sreenivasan, and Joju George's tear-jerking family drama (Feb 7). With so many genres to pick from, these films are making a great start to an action-packed year for Malayalam cinema.
