Where to Watch

Overview

In the early 2010s, a routine police inquiry in a quiet Kerala village takes a darker turn as small clues begin linking to a string of disturbing cases. As the investigation widens across state lines into Tamil Nadu, long-unsolved mysteries resurface, pushing the team into a tense search for answers.

A decent thriller, though it follows a fairly predictable formula. The character arcs feel underdeveloped, and the investigation loses momentum through repetition. The clues and details lack the depth needed to keep audiences truly engaged. The cat-and-mouse dynamic between the police and the killer fails to build meaningful tension, and the climax falls flat, capped off by an all-too-familiar cliffhanger ending. On a brighter note, the film deserves credit for resisting the urge to justify the serial killer's actions through a contrived backstory. The use of classic songs and background score also stands out as a genuine highlight.

#Kalamkaval because once wasn't enough to process how casually terrifying Mammootty can be.๐Ÿ Venom beneath loading again..."๐Ÿ”ฅ

a must watch film if you into thrillers. but i didn't really like the climax tho. mammotty performed extremely well. but as a villain but not as ladies man he extremely did well in psycho scenes but not upto the level of him when it comes to flirting with the ladies i wonder why women go with him if he acts like this. and there are bit of misses but i dont think not many notices these details but the story, direction, pace, casting all just clicked. i loved it i mean i was watching this on the metro and literally had to finish the ending at work because I was too hooked and couldnt wait until the end of the day.

Despite Mammootthy's brilliant performance this movie barely make an impact.

I feel music and movie is great but the investigation lacks in many perspective. Police searched only through mobile phone angle
