The festival of Onam has always been the biggest event for Keralites not just in terms of celebrations and sales, but also when it comes to the movies. Some of the big releases chose to come during this festive season, not necessary on the same day, but end up clashing with each other at the box office. Sometimes as many as six to eight movies have come up during the period. What is surprising is that there have been occasions, when most of these movies end up becoming hits.
Now in 2019, the festivities of Onam will begin on September 1 and end on September 13, with Thiruvonam falling on September 13. As per certain reports, six films are releasing during this period. Movies featuring Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Tomas, Nivin Pauly, Nayanthara et al are reportedly releasing during the period, which is subject to change.

Let's have a look at them individually:
Ittymaani: Made in China
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal will return to comedy with Ittymaani: Made in China. Both the title and Mohanlal's equally quirky appearances in the posters have created a lot of excitement among the fans. Directed by debutant Jibi Joju, the movie also stars Raadhika Sarathkumar, Honey Rose and Aju Varghese. Ittymaani Made in China First Look: What’s Mohanlal Upto Dressed as an ‘Achayathi’? View Pic.
Brother's Day
With Brother's Day, Drishyam fame Kalabhavan Shajon joins the club of actors who have turned directors. In his first film, actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is playing the lead. Interestingly, Shajon was a part of the cast of Prithviraj's directorial debut, Lucifer. Madonna Sebastian and Aishwarya Lakshmi are the female leads in Brother's Day.
Kilometers and Kilometers
Tovino Tomas seems to be the busiest leading man right now, what with his movie coming out nearly every third week. He will reportedly be seen next in Kilometers and Kilometers, a movie whose title is inspired by a cult line in Mohanlal's yesteryear hit Mazha Peyunnu Maddhalam Kottunu. Kilometers and Kilometers is directed by Jeo Baby, who had earlier made Rendu Penkuttikal and Kunju Daivam.
Finals
The talented Rajisha Vijayan, who was last seen in the much-loved June, is playing a cyclist training for the Olympics in Finals. Suraj Venjaaramoodu is playing her father, while actor Maniyanpillai Raju’s son Niranj is to be seen as the male lead. Finals is directed by PR Arun.
Love Action Drama
Actor Dhyan Sreenivasan, the younger brother of singer-actor-director Vineeth Sreenivasan, is turning director for the first time. Love Action Drama pairs up youth sensation Nivin Pauly with the much-in-demand Nayanthara. Actor Aju Varghese is co-producing the film and acting in it as well, along with Vineeth Sreenivasan.
Aakasha Ganga 2
The first Aakasha Ganga was a huge hit in the '90s and revived the horror genre in Malayalam cinema. Now two decades later, director Vinayan is making a sequel to the film though with a completely different cast and setting. Aakasha Ganga 2 will have an ensemble cast in Sreenath Bhasi, Vishnu Vinay, Ramya Krishnan, Siddique, Hareesh Kanaran, Vishnu Govind and Arathi.
