Rating - 3.75/5
An emotionally driven crime investigation drama testing the perseverance of a cop through the present urban cultural setup.
The plot of the story revolves around an emotionally disturbed badass cop whose professional and personal life gets intertwined over a case he handled and how he sets out to hunt the culprits down forms the storyline.
Shahi Kabir through his stellar writing has kept the hopes high and has reimposed his tag as the "Firebrand of Police Investigation Stories" in Malayalam. The story is highly predictive moving in a non linear narrative template culminates all the connected events before the intermission but the way it is layered keeps the audience hooked to the screen and maintains the tempo and mood. The character arc defined to each central characters in the story is perfectly visualised and executed onto the screen by Jithu Ashraf. Shahi and Jithu has triumphed in portraying the other side of the personal and professional lives of the cops in the story instinctively.
Kunchacks has given a versatile performance of the cop effortlessly portraying the emotional variance and nuanced layers of the character. Priyamani has made a splendid delivery as a strong bold character and perfectly pulled off the dynamics as the couples. Impressive performances by Jagadeesh,Vishak Nair,Manoj,Vaisakh Sankar,Vishnu,Ramzan,Leya Mammen & Aiswariya Raj.
Roby Raj has brilliantly shot the visuals and chase sequences in the movie which is perfectly aligned by Chaman Chakko sustaining the mood of the story. Kudos to Jakes Bejoy for the gripping BGM's and Remesh C P for bringing the variance in colour palette matching the mood of the story. Good efforts by Ronex Xavier in bringing the emotional side of Kunchacks on screen is worth mentioning.
A must watch movie on big screens for an emotionally intriguing performances.
