For nostalgia, warmth, and the joy of seeing a legend embrace comedy as only he can. Watch Drama on Sun NXT and let the giggles begin!
2. Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol – Love, Rediscovered
Middle-aged romance rarely gets this tender. Jibu Jacob’s Munthirivallikal… strips away glamour to reveal the quiet beauty of rekindled love. Mohanlal plays Ulahannan, a bank clerk navigating marital monotony until a trip unlocks buried emotions. His performance is a masterstroke in subtlety—every hesitant glance and unspoken regret feels achingly real. Meena matches his grace, making this a poignant ode to companionship. Watch it on Sun NXT for a cozy, soul-stirring experience.
3. Neerali – Claustrophobia & Courage
Trapped in a car under a landslide, Mohanlal delivers a tour-de-force in Ajoy Varma’s Neerali. As survivalist Sunny, he battles panic, pain, and fading hope, relying solely on facial expressions and voice modulation to convey terror and resilience. The film’s singlelocation tension is amplified by his raw, unfiltered acting—proof that even in stillness, Lalettan commands the screen. Catch this gripping thriller on Sun NXT—it’s a survival saga you can’t pause!
4. My Hero Mythri – Quirk Meets Heart
Who said superheroes need capes? In My Hero Mythri, Mohanlal plays Mythri, a quirky small-town man with delusions of grandeur, blending slapstick humor with unexpected depth. Beneath the laughs lies a touching narrative about self-worth and societal neglect. Lalettan swings between hilarious antics and quiet vulnerability, proving even “flawed” heroes leave a mark. Binge this underrated gem on Sun NXT—it’s weird, wonderful, and wholesomely Mohanlal!
5. Kanal – A Descent into Darkness
Mohanlal and director M. Padmakumar plunge into the abyss with Kanal, a haunting thriller about corruption, guilt, and redemption. As the morally fractured Ousepachan, Lalettan is chilling—his cold stare and brooding silence echo long after the credits roll. The film’s rainsoaked visuals and eerie score mirror his inner turmoil, crafting a cinematic experience that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable. Dive into Kanal on Sun NXT… if you dare.
