The Malayalam film industry (Mollywood) has seen a massive shift in storytelling over the last five years. Among the surprise blockbusters that redefined the horror-comedy genre, Romancham (2023) stands out as a cult phenomenon. Directed by Jithu Madhavan and starring Soubin Shahir, the film—based on a real-life Ouija board incident in a Bengaluru PG—became a massive critical and commercial success.
