The modern Malayalam hero is often flawed, unemployed, or psychologically complex. Look at Fahadh Faasil in Maheshinte Prathikaaram (a photographer obsessed with revenge) or Joji (an adaptation of Macbeth set in a Keralite plantation family).
The 1990s saw the rise of the "middle-stream" cinema of , Kamal , and Fazil , which, while commercial, remained rooted in family and social dynamics.
