The trailer of one of the most-awaited Malayalam film​ of the year, Inspector Dawood Ibrahim (IDI) was release​d on Monday evening​.

"There are lot of mass entertainers releasing in Tamil and Bollywood.

All these films had won critical acclaim​​ as well.

But when it comes to our Malayalam industry, such films are barely made.
