Malayalam cinema began in the 1920s with the production of the first Malayalam film, "Balan," in 1938. However, it wasn't until the 1950s and 1960s that the industry started to gain momentum. The 1970s and 1980s are often referred to as the "Golden Age" of Malayalam cinema, with films like "Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu" (1984) and "Papanasam" (1985). Denise-milani-video-download
