Do cameo roles enhance story narratives?

Cameo roles in Malayalam cinema, exemplified by Mammootty in ‘Abraham Ozler’ and Nivin Pauly in ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’, can significantly elevate a film’s impact and appeal, particularly among family audiences. However, the effectiveness of cameos, such as Rick Yune in ‘L2: Empuraan’ and Vijay Sethupathi’s voice cameo in ‘Turbo’, depends on their relevance to the story and audience connection.
