Hi Ajith,
I don’t have any idea about Malayalam (or any other Indic language [I
can deal with Latin and Greek scripts only, I’m afraid]), but this seems
to work fine.
\mainlanguage[ml]
\definefontfamily [malayalam] [rm] [RIT Rachana]
[features=malayalam-two]
\setupbodyfont [malayalam]
\starttext
\tf അദ്ധ്യായം\\
\em അദ്ധ്യായം\\
\bf അദ്ധ്യായം\\
\em അദ്ധ്യായം
\stoptext
Fonts are RIT Rachana from http://www.rachana.org.in/.
The relevant feature here malayalam-two. I used serif (or rm), since the
font looked to me more serif than sans-serif (Latin glyphs are clearly
from a serif font).

I would say that with malayalam-two ligatures are the same ones as in
LibreOffice.
Just in case it might help,
Pablo
