Minnal Murali isn't just 1st Malayalam superhero film, it's the 1st good Indian superhero movie! Charming, rooted, heartwarming, funny. Everything—script, camerawork, music—comes together almost pitch perfectly, all without big budget. Take a bow Basil Joseph & team

@marc_laidlaw Here's 4: The Devourers by Indra Das, Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (so wholesome!), Dark Things by Sukanya Venkatraghavan, Merman and the Book of Power by Musharraf Ali Farooqi (not your usual 'fantasy')
