The year 2017 has so far gone well for Mollywood, with back-to-back Malayalam movies emerging as blockbusters. Now, the industry is eyeing the festive occasion of Eid for the release of a few other biggies, which are expected to repeat success stories.

Tiyaan

One of the major releases in June is Prithviraj Sukumaran and Indrajith Sukumaran's Tiyaan, scripted by actor Murali Gopy. Its teaser and trailer look different, and have already impressed the audience, who expect the Jiyen Krishnakumar-directed film to become a classic movie in Malayalam. Also, Tiyaan's ensemble cast, including Hindi actors Ranjeet, Ravi Singh and Mrudula Sathe, and Telugu actor Amit Tiwari, make it pan-India cinema.
