Fahadh Faasil continued his legacy of realistic acting in this year too and hence proved he is the next ambassador of "Malayalam acting style'. The 'David Pallikkal' of Monsoon Mangoes was a rescue performance for the movie while the title character of Maheshinte Prathikaram showed the talent of the actor in representing real Keralite on screen.

The 'Artist Baby' of Maheshinte Prathikaaram made the glimpse of a extremely flexible actor in Alencier which reflected the evergreen acting performances of 80s.

What magic can an actor do with a small role in a mainstream commercial movie? The actor Siddique always has lots of answers for that. He had proved that consecutively for many years. This year too, with the small role in Aanmariya Kalippilaanu, he conquered the audience. Hats-off for the actor.
The short-timed role in Action Hero Biju was enough for Suraj to prove 'how good he as an actor'.

Even though, 'Dharman' of Nisthar grabbed more attention from the audience and remained in the hearts of spectators after the movie. He lived in the role without any limitations of a debut actor and hence he has to be marked one of the best actors of 2016 Mollywood.
