We have always known the importance of comedy movies and we’ve been continuously making them for a long time, in fact in great quantity too. Malayalam Cinema has produced countless good comedies over the years although the language barrier has jaded its popularity to a niche audience.
Today, am going to introduce you guys some of the best Malayalam comedy movies of all time .The is not ranking. Only a movie suggestion based completely on my will. I am strongly suggesting you this movies with real confidence that these movies wont disappoint you. Malayalam movie industry utilizes all types of comedy such as verbal comedy ,physical comedy and visual comedy.The following movies are selected because of the efficient usage of the above mentioned types of comedies.
Mannar Mathai Speaking 1995
director: Mani C. Kappan
featuring: Innocent, Mukesh, Saikumar, Vani Vishwanath, Biju Menon
The movie is a sequel to the 80’s ramji rao speaking featuring the hilarious trio innocent ,Mukesh and saikumar as mannar mathai ,Gopalakrishnan and Balakrishnan respectively .Mannar mathai reopens his drama troupe and the lead actors always fight each other. When the heroin of the troupe quits her role in order to act in cinema ,the working of the troupe get intrupted.it is upto the lead actors to find a new one.

Biju menon’s mahendra varma plays a cruicial role in the movie.There is a 3rd part 2014 made mannar mathai speaking-2
Vietnam Colony 1992
director: Siddique-Lal
featuring: Mohanlal, Innocent, Kanaka, K.P.A.C. Lalitha, Kuthiravattam Pappu
This a magnum opus item of the duo Siddique-lal. Movie revolves around Krishnamoorthy played by Mohanlal and his assistant K.K joseph played by innocent. Krishnamoorthi was born in a brhamin family which faced lot of financial crisis. A real estate company hires Krishnamoorthy to vacate vietnam colony, a place where goons , arrogant people and anti social people lives. He becomes an under cover operative and starts to live in the colony. Day by day he realizes the people of Vietnam colony was not the people the world belive. They are just trying to survive in this world.And finds out that the real estate company is being unjust with its residents. It’s sad that the hilarity of Vietnam Colony stops midway through as if on cue and gets all grim and violent henceforth, but the amount of laughter that the first half alone provides, makes up for the bleak second act.
Nadodikattu 1987
Director: Sathyan Anthikkad
Featuring: Mohanlal, Sreenivasan, Shobhana, Thilakan, Captain Raju
One of the all time favorites of mine is , Nadodikattu. It is the first of a trilogy that introduced the “B.Com. First-class” Dasan (Mohanlal) and his “S.S.L.C. failed” friend Vijayan (Sreenivasan).After some dramatic incidents they both becomes jobless. To over come the financial crisis they decides to buy a cow with huge plans on it. But these two gentleman were completely fooled by the dealer . Their plan to become rich by cow farm gets collapsed. Then they decide to go to Gulf to try their luck using the last penny they have. Again the fate is against them. They endup in madras instead of dubai. The actual story of dasan and Vijayan starts here. A group of drug dealers assumes dasan and Vijayan as CID officers.From this point they undergo unexpected turn of events which results in huge change in thier life.shobana plays the role of the heroin. The rioting came back to big screen in pattana prevesam and akkare akkare akkare
Sandesham 1991
Director: Sathyan Anthikkad
Featuring: Jayaram, Sreenivasan, Thilakan, Mamukkoya, Innocent, Sankaradi
One of the best political satires to come out of the thinking minds of Kerala, Sandesham is uproariously witty at the same time thematically hard-hitting, and tells the story of two brothers (Jayaram & Sreenivasan) diametrically opposite in political views and methods. This is movie which will make u laugh and think at same time.Raghavan, a retired railway employee,wishes to live the rest of his life with his family.However he is forced to become a mediater between his 2 sons who belives in oppocite political parties.The movie is filled with lot of classic laughter moments where we could laugh our mind out even when seeing the movie a 100th timeThe relevance of this movie very much valued even in this decade. Movie shows how we must try to prosper the bond between son-mother ,son-father and siblings.Its effective combination of laughs with a parallel social commentary made this movie a must watch for Malayalam movie lovers and movie lovers around the world.
In Harihar Nagar 1990
Director: Siddique-Lal
Featuring: Mukesh, Jagadeesh, Siddique, Ashokan, Geetha Vijayan
This ia a movie which no one can forget because of the chemistry between the lead actors.Because we can reflection of ourselfs in them. They are actually us . Four young man living in harihar nagar colony Mahadevan (mukesh), Govindhankutty(siddique),thomaskutty(ashokan),appukuttan(jagadish) are enamoured by maya , their next door neighbor. How ever maya is searching for the truth behind the mysterious death for her brother sethumadhavan. The four friends tries to get close with maya by telling lie they were where friends with her dead brother. But this lie causes many difficulties in their life. Jhon honai ,the main antagonist comes for the four friends.The movie unfolds the mysterious death of sethumadhavan.The physical comedies in the movie are too good to be rewatched. No Malayalee will never forget the this iconic movie.
These are the classic malayalam comedy movies make you laugh wheather you belong to any age group.Am also suggesting some good comedy movies came recently.
Nowadays lot malayalam directors are promoting the idea that bodyshaming ,slut shaming and discrimanation towards some specific community are not comedy. They shoudn't be used to make comedy.It is not a thing to laugh on.
The following movies are fiiled up with realistic comedies which is more to be appreciated

Amar akbar Anthony 2015
