The first film in the Sibi Malayalil-Mohanlal duo's musical trilogy was the biggest hit of 1990. Written by AK Lohithadas with music by Raveendran, High Highness Abdullah followed the story of Abdullah (Mohanlal), a Qawwali singer who is hired to assassinate the family head (Nedumudi Venu) of a royal Hindu family. The film was critically acclaimed and Nedumudi Venu was honored with the National Award for Best Supporting Actor while MG Sreekumar bagged the award for Best Male Playback Singer for 'Naadaroopini'.

This hilarious family drama was the highest-grossing film in Malayalam film history when it was released. The movie not just exploited the Mohanlal-Jagathy chemistry but every character, from Revathy and Innocent to Thilakan had roles etched with humour. Kilukkam was in the theatres for more than 365 days and won five Kerala State Film Awards, including Best Actor for Mohanlal, Second Best Actor for Jagathy Sreekumar, Best Editor for N Gopalakrishnan, Best Playback Singer (Male) for MG Sreekumar and Best Cinematographer for S Kumar.

These were the most commercially successful films of 1992. While Mohanlal's film was based on a man who sets out to vacate a colony on his company's demand, Mammooty's film explored the strained relationship between a father and his young son after the mother's death.

Undoubtedly one of the best Malayalam films ever made, this psychological thriller directed by Fazil remains unsurpassed. With dream leads and an exceptional ensemble cast, Manichitrathazhu's brilliance in screenplay, dialogues, music and cinematography continue to be lauded even today. Shobana bagged both the National and State Awards for her unmatched performance as Ganga and her alter-ego Nagavalli. A spin off to Mohanlal's Dr. Sunny, titled Geetanjali was made in 2013.

This romantic comedy starring Mohanlal and Shobana won two National and five Kerala State Film Awards. Directed by Priyadarshan, this is a love triangle between two friends and a young woman they unexpectedly befriend on a journey. The film is remembered for its hilarious scene where Manikyan (Mohanlal) is tied to a tree by a group of tribals and he helplessly cries 'lelu allu lelu allu,' seeking forgiveness.

The first of the Shaji Kailas-Mohanlal collaboration, Aaraam Thampuran was not just the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year but also the highest-grossing Malayalam film till then. The movie also completed a theatrical run of more than 250 days.

Fazil's directorial brought together both the superstars of Malayalam cinema. Needless to say, fans of both Mammookka and Lalettan flocked to theaters, helping the makers recover their cost within two weeks of release. The detective thriller also saw Juhi Chawla make her Malayalam debut.

Pathram was a political thriller with Suresh Gopi and Manju Warrier in the lead. The film was written by Renji Panicker and was lauded for its memorable dialogues. Friends, which released in the same year, was also a huge box-office success.

Revolving around a thief named Madhavan and the people in his village, Meesa Madhavan is a romedy that continues to rule Malayalee hearts. The combination of Jagathy's Bhageerathan Pillai aka Pillachan and Cochin Haneefa's Thrivikraman sends most into a laugh fest even today. The film also put Dileep in the big league and became the highest grosser of 2002.

Though Mammootty's Chronic Bachelor came a close second, Mohanlal's Balettan was the highest grossing Malayalam blockbuster of 2003. Mohanlal plays Balan, a good samaritan who, at his father's death bed, discovers that he has a stepmother and stepsister. The rest of the story follows Balan's struggles to secretly balance his life and the new family he's now responsible for.

After a gap of 14 years, Mammootty's iconic character of Sethurama Iyer made a superhit comeback with Sethurama Iyer CBI, directed by K Madhu. With a riveting plot, the movie was widely received in India and overseas. Jayaraj's musical thriller 4 the People, which released the same year, was, however, a bigger hit in terms of Return on Investment.

Mammootty's Bellary Raja continues to remain an iconic character in the actor's career graph. This action comedy had Mammooty play an illiterate billionaire who returns to his hometown after the death of his stepfather.

Mammootty plays Mahi, a small-time criminal who is nicknamed Maayavi for his ability to beat up goons in jail without being seen. The movie follows his release from jail and the subsequent events when he sets out to help his friend's brother fund money for a life-saving operation. Mayavi also stars Salim Kumar, Manoj K Jayan and Gopika in pivotal roles.

Christian Brothers had an ensemble cast comprising Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Dileep, Sarath Kumar, Saikumar, Biju Menon, Vijayaraghavan, Raai Laxmi, Kanika, Lakshmi Gopalaswamy and Kavya Madhavan. The film helmed by hitmaker Joshiy received mixed reviews but went on to become the biggest box-office hit of 2011.

The hit single from Wilson Phillips' debut album won single of the year at the Billboard Music Awards in 1990 and was featured at the end of 2011's "Bridesmaids," proving this song never goes out of style.

This love song was featured on Adams' sixth studio album and on the soundtrack for 1991's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." It was named Billboard's single of the year and spent seven weeks at No. 1 in 1991.

There is nothing better than belting this 1993 club song as loud as you can. "Saturday Night Live" helped make the song even more popular when it was used in the "Roxbury Guys" sketches and subsequent movie "A Night at the Roxbury."
