Minnal Murali, the brand new Malayalam superhero movie on Netflix, feels like a breath of fresh air in a filmspace that’s inundated with this sort of comic book fair. This is a movie that leans into culture, setting, and language, to create a unique narrative and not one that feels like it’s been cribbed from its Western counterparts. On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, Bahir and Uma watch and review Minnal Murali. They talk about how well it balances pathos, humour, and action. They gawk at how it pulls off one of the best villain origin stories ever.
