Several documentary films have been made about Malana out of them two documentaries have won the national awards. Produced in 1999, 'Malana' directed by Himachal based filmmaker Vivek Mohan and 'BOM - One day ahead of democracy' directed by Amlan Dutta was produced in 2011. These films depicts the day to day life of the people of Malana. BOM is available in market and is easily available for viewers while there is no information about 'Malana'.
Now a feature film called 'M Cream' is ready to release in December 2014. As the name suggests and the film tailor reflects, the film is also based on Cannabis.
