While mainstream Malayalam cinema has gained international acclaim for its realistic narratives, the B-grade parallel industry thrives on low-budget genre filmmaking—horror, erotic thrillers, and action melodramas. Through a case study of films tagged with “kanavu” in their titles or themes, this paper argues that “extra quality” functions as an ironic badge of honor among niche audiences, celebrating narrative excess, amateurish production values, and unapologetic regionalism. The study uses textual analysis, fan discourse from YouTube comments and Telegram groups, and interviews with small-scale producers.
