Experiencing Malayalam Cinema in Kerala for the First Time | #marco
Join us as I experience Malayalam cinema in a Kerala theatre for the first time! We watch the movie 'Marco,' enjoy the classic intermission popcorn, and share our thoughts before heading to a local bakery afterward for snacks. While we enjoyed the film, some scenes were a bit too gory for my taste. This video isn't a movie review but a glimpse into my first encounter with Malayalam cinema in Kerala. Come along for the fun and cultural immersion!
Hi, we’re Jess and Fibin! 🇦🇺❤️🇮🇳
We’re an inter-cultural couple-Fibin is Malayalee, and Jess is Australian. We met in Sydney in 2021, fell in love, and got married in 2023. Afterward, we moved to Kerala to be closer to family and explore life in this vibrant culture.
Through our travels and daily life, we embrace the beauty of blending our two worlds. Join us as we share our adventures, from exploring Kerala and beyond to celebrating traditions and creating new memories together!

    Other than technical greatness, there is nothing in this movie. I mean the story or character doesnt feels any arch or doesnt feel any emotional connection with the characters. The thing is that, this is the first time malayalam doing a violence film. Its like every industry competing for most violent movie. So malayalam induatry just showed a lil bit, how actual violence look like. You better watch RIFLECLUB and IDENTITY. good films only.

    Dear Friend, If you wish to introduce your wife to the brilliance of Malayalam cinema, here are two absolute gems you can confidently recommend without a moment’s hesitation. These movies may have flown under the radar at the time of their release, but they stand tall as masterpieces in every sense of the word. Missing these films would mean missing out on some of the finest storytelling Malayalam cinema has ever offered. Ivide (2015) Starring the ever-versatile Prithviraj Sukumaran and the impeccable Nivin Pauly, this film is a true cinematic masterclass. Directed by the legendary Shyamaprasad, Ivide delves into themes of identity, ambition, and human relationships, all set against the backdrop of an intriguing murder investigation in the United States. Underrated in its time, this film deserves a special place in the annals of great Malayalam cinema. It’s a thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the credits roll. Hey Jude (2018) Featuring the endearing Nivin Pauly and the enchanting Trisha Krishnan, Hey Jude is the epitome of a feel-good movie. Directed by Shyamaprasad, it beautifully explores the journey of self-discovery, love, and healing, with an unconventional yet heartwarming narrative. Despite not achieving box office glory, this film has won the hearts of those who truly appreciate nuanced storytelling. Its charm and soul-stirring moments make it an unforgettable experience. Missing these films would be akin to missing the beating heart of Malayalam cinema. They are a testament to the incredible artistry and emotional depth that the industry is known for. Trust me, your wife will thank you for introducing her to these cinematic masterpieces. Don't let these treasures pass you by!

I know she has watched a lot of Malayalam movies but I’m sure she hasn’t t seen these ones. I’ll ask her to watch now and see what she thinks. Thanks again for taking the time to suggest them.
