One of my favourite pastime is watching movies. The genre of movies I watch depends on my mood also. To talk about there are many malayalam directors whose movies stand out from the rest. Some of them like Padmarajan, Shyamaprasad, etc. I don't like art films much but I do watch some if the public review comes out good.
