In the 1970s and 1980s, Malayalam cinema witnessed a significant shift with the emergence of New Wave cinema. Filmmakers like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, K. S. Sethumadhavan, and P. Padmarajan introduced a new wave of cinema that was more experimental and avant-garde. Their films, such as "Swayamvaram" (1972), "Thekkekkazhikkak" (1979), and "Geethapriya" (1987), explored complex themes of identity, politics, and human relationships.
