Fahadh Faasil is celebrating his 38th birthday today.

Fahadh Faasil turned a year older today. He is one of the leading south Indian actors who has gained national prominence with the explosion of the country’s sudden interest in Malayalam cinema. Fahadh has steered clear of falling into an image trap and is fully taking advantage of his hard-earned stardom that allows him to play characters ranging from a deranged misogynist to a timid germaphobe to a miracle worker with god complexion.

Fahadh made his debut in 2002 with Kaiyethum Doorath. And thankfully, it was a critical and commercial disaster. If not for that setback, he may not have turned into the actor that he’s today. After the first misstep, he retreated from show business for about six years and seemingly returned with a determination to be original. By his own admission, Irrfan Khan played a pivotal role in nudging him towards the right path.

Here is a list of Fahadh Faasil movies that must be on your OTT watch-list.

Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum: Fahadh Faasil plays a thief who swallows a gold chain that he robbed of a poor girl so that he can excrete the same the next morning. The only problem is he gets caught.

Take Off: The film is another proof that Fahadh values screenplay more than his screen time. The film based on real-life incidents fully belongs to Parvathy. And Fahadh just does his bit to support the narration. But, you must watch Take Off simply because it is one of the great movies made in the past decade. (Available on Disney+Hotstar)
