The film Thakkol, directed by Kiron Prabhakar, can be classified as a cinematic work belonging to the thriller drama genres.
The narrative chronicles the character Ambros, who has been working as a junior priest and servant of Father Paul Mangunnath since childhood. Mangunnath is depicted as a very strict person, causing Ambros to fear him even as a child. He is portrayed as a slave to Mangunnath. When the church in Pochampalli requires a new priest, Kuzhimattattil Clement, a famous figure, recommends Ambros. Despite reservations about the role, Ambros assumed the position, leading to a rift with Paul Mangunnath, who vehemently opposed the move. In Pochampalli, Ambros confronted several challenges, including the untimely demise of Clement and his close friend, who left Ambros with a crucial clue. This prompted Ambros to embark on a quest to unravel the enigma surrounding the key. Concurrently, Ambros encountered his childhood love, Sara, who had been divorced and was raising a son. Sara's struggle with depression and her attempt to end her own life underscored the depth of her anguish over past transgressions. Subsequently, Ambros becomes privy to the narrative underlying the key. Clement has bequeathed his wealth to Ambros, who has stored the documents in a bank locker, the key to which is also in Ambros's possession. Thereafter, Ambros establishes an oncological treatment centre with the bequeathed wealth and appoints Sara's son as his servant and junior priest.
The narrative, however, is of a substandard quality, lacking in cohesion, and the direction is inconsistent. The performances and musical scores, on the other hand, are satisfactory, and the film is not intended for a one time watching.
