It is believed that the main audience for a Dileep movie is the kids who tug the elders in the family to the theatres.

Most of these films were made by his friends.

Sagar Alias Jacky Reloaded, the second directorial venture of Amal Neerad starring Mohanlal is stylish so to speak but lacks emotional core.

Gulmohar marks the debut of writer-director Ranjith as an actor, who plays the role of a revolutionary of the seventies. This film is worth watching for his performance and to see Jayaraj bounce back to form as a director.
Parthan KandaParalokam starring Jayaram and directed by Anil is sheer waste of time.

Black Dahlia, directed by Babu Raj is a replica of Chintamani Kolacase. The Malayalam film is nothing but a showcase for Babu Raj's wife Vani Vishvanath.
