Best Malayalam Movie of 2010 by Nowrunning.com

Pranchiyettan & The Saint:

After the delectable 'Kerala Cafe' in 2009, Ranjith gave us the incredibly charming 'Pranchiyettan and the Saint' this year, that emphasized that commercial cinema need not entirely be mindless drivel. One of the most intelligent films to have come out this year, 'Pranchiyettan and the Saint' won several viewer hearts and even completed a hundred day joy run at a few major centers!

Ranjith manages a unique mix of satire and comedy in 'Pranchiyettan and the Saint' and it was a tight ropewalk indeed for the director to juggle between fantasy and reality. In doing so he brought down heaven as close to earth and opened up a new universe before us where God and man beautifully blended into one.
