To understand Malayalam cinema, one must understand Kerala’s literary and social reform movements of the 20th century. Kerala boasts a 100% literacy rate, a milestone built upon decades of educational and social activism. Early Malayalam cinema drew heavily from the state's vibrant literary tradition.
One of the most defining characteristics of Malayalam cinema is its subversion of traditional Indian "superstition around stardom."

It has become the cultural archive, the social critic, the linguistic purist, and the emotional diary of the Malayali people.
