The most significant shift in the last decade has been the cinematic treatment of the migrant worker. As Keralites leave for the Gulf, laborers from West Bengal, Bihar, and Assam have filled the state’s labor vacuum. Early 2000s cinema used these characters as comic relief (the "Bhaiyya" stereotype). But contemporary cinema like Sudani from Nigeria (2018) and Aarkkariyam (2021) flips the script. These films use the migrant perspective to deconstruct Malayali hypocrisy—our love for our own Gulf money but our disdain for the mainlanders who build our homes.

For Arun, it was a tightrope walk over a canyon of lawsuits. But contemporary cinema like Sudani from Nigeria (2018)

When Kerala had a suicide crisis among farmers, Vidheyan (1994) and Paleri Manikyam (2009) explored feudal cruelty. When the Sabarimala temple entry issue divided the state, films like The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) bypassed the religious argument entirely to focus on the physical labor of a woman in a traditional household.
