Abstract : Malayalam Film Industry has always tried to bring out the full-fledged picture by not only exposing the character alone but also by giving them extra veracity by portraying the profession but when we retrospect on the Malayalam Film Industry it has shifted from the exaggeration of facts to the reality.The objective of this qualitative research study is to explore whether Malayalam Films delineate the profession of Journalism legitimately. An analysis of a few popular Malayalam movies (producedbetween 1995 to 2015) that thematically depicts the topic is attempted here focusing on four major films namely New Delhi, Pathram, Love 24x7& Swale. This research is based on content analysis and thematic interpretation, and it assesses both knowledge and attitudes regarding such films among journalists who are not predisposed to factual information.
