In recent years, Malayalam cinema has embarked on a courageous journey of self-interrogation regarding caste. While earlier films often focused on the "universal" poor, contemporary cinema has sharpened its lens on specific caste dynamics.
Films like Kala and Porinju Mariam Jose have interrogated the toxic masculinity and feudal entitlement associated with the Savarna (upper caste) narratives.

Others warn that pushing the romance narrative too far could backfire, as seen in other industries where fabricated love stories led to public feuds.
