2024 has been a landmark year for the Malayalam film industry ("Mollywood"). While the year has seen massive pan-Indian blockbusters like Manjummel Boys and Aavesham , the comedy genre has evolved significantly. Unlike previous years which relied heavily on slapstick, 2024 has favored "Comic Thrillers" and "Dark Comedies." malayalam new comedy movies 2024
