Dulquer Salmaan is ready to take Malayalam cinema into uncharted territory with Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra, a visionary leap into the superhero genre. The film’s first-look poster reveals a gritty, immersive world filled with chaos, power, and mythological undercurrents. This marks not just another movie but the beginning of what could be Malayalam cinema’s first full-fledged superhero universe.

If you’re still riding the high from Empuraan and craving more films with gritty power struggles, political undertones, and characters who operate in the moral grey zone, you’re in for a treat. Here’s a list of movies that bring a similar energy like L2- Empuraan — think layered storytelling, iconic performances, and that intense, slow-burn style that keeps you hooked till the very end.

Naradan (2022)

Naradan is one of those films that digs into the darker side of media. Tovino Thomas plays a journalist who starts out as an honest guy but slowly gets pulled into the toxic race for TRPs. As he becomes more manipulative and powerful, we start to see how the media can shape — or twist — public opinion.

This movie hits hard because it shows power in a totally different way, just like Empuraan. It’s not about gangsters or politicians this time — it...

5 Dulquer Salmaan Films To Watch From The Early Days Of His Career!

In the early stages of his career, Dulquer Salmaan was primarily recognized as the son of the legendary actor Mammootty. However, over time, he successfully built his identity, establishing a strong fan base and becoming a prominent figure in Mollywood, with considerable recognition and brand value beyond the Malayalam industry.

Unlike his father, Dulquer does not release many films within a year. Since 2023, he has made only four appearances across both the big screen and small screen in two languages, which include one cameo, two lead roles in films, and one web series. In contrast, during the same period, Mammootty appeared in nine films across different languages and also starred in a web series.

Interestingly, in the early phase of his career, Dulquer Salmaan’s approach was similar to his father’s, with multiple film releases in a short span.

In a film industry obsessed with noise, Ankith Madhav is quietly building a reputation for precision. Whether it’s the clipped authority of Yogesh Yadav in Kannur Squad or the understated intensity in Richie Mehta’s Poacher, there’s something strikingly deliberate about the way he moves through roles—like an actor who knows the power of restraint.

Originally based in Mumbai before the pandemic, Ankith now works largely out of Kochi. It’s a geographical shift that’s gone unnoticed by many, especially after Kannur Squad positioned him convincingly as a North Indian officer. For audiences and casting directors alike, his fluency in Hindi and body language lent an authenticity that blurred lines between actor and character.

“I still get messages asking if I’m from outside Kerala,” Ankit Madhav says with a half-smile, but there’s no frustration—just the quiet satisfaction of a performance that convinced.

Adding to the controversy, incidents of violence involving youngsters against family members, friends, and rivals have been alleged to take inspiration from films like Marco and Kill. The opposition party, sections of the general public, and even the government itself have attributed this surge in youth violence to the influence of such films.
