Anweshippin Kandethum

The script does have substance to offer. There have been so many police investigation movies made that it is a challenge to bring in something new and convincing. This movie has been able to do that. I did not anticipate some of the twists in the plots.

An even keel pacing, not overly dramatic. An easy watch. I watched it at home. Was on the hook through the movie. I could have paused and attempted breakfast but I did not want to break the flow of the movie. And the movie had not been designed to sensationalize. The core is strong enough to keep you hooked.

Tovino has done good work. It is an interesting script selection.

There are two separate plots in the movie. And both plots have worked. Good writing and execution.

I would not classify it as a must watch. It is a pretty good watch though.

A nice investigation film where they decided to not follow a lot of narrative cliches and tropes seen in this type of Malayalam film but follow that of the English episodic investigation series' like CSI. But they also made sure that it is very rooted and realistic with the 90s production design on point without making the audience pay too much attention to that. Technically this is very well made in all the departments. The choice of making it two cases for the two halves was a brave one but it seemed to have also worked. But the way so many recent films have been using this same kind of theme for crime is getting irritating for me. That's where the Ozler movie kind of subverted expectations at a certain point and made me glad even if it didn't really do anything great. Here, a lot of choices about character motivations, their hurdles and the image they were creating for them was very much like how something like CSI would do but without actually copying anything from there. That in itself had its positives and negatives but that was also kind of irritating for me at certain points. But among recent police movies where a team of them investigates this was pretty good and better than something like Kannur Squad.

The film is a good watch, it keeps you hooked throughout. Narayanan's music does justice with the film and keeps you on the edge. I loved Darwin's style and of course the actors played their part well. Kudos to the story writer for not being inspired by Bollywood and unnecessarily inserting romance in such brilliant film. The shift from the prime suspect to the actual culprit as an audience could've been anticipated in the second case but for the first one it was not on the list. So if you want to watch something different I think this might be perfect for a casual watch. I came with no expectations and loved it absolutely.

Well narrated 2 episodes of crime patrol.it is a new experiment on bringing OTT series on cinema theatres.it could have been better than web series. All actors played their role very well with little scope for performance. It was a pure directorial brilliance on how to illustrate a novel book on theatres .it is a clear procedural police investigation , but there has been many better movies directed by K G George . But this still remains a great attempt on this genre . It is definitely a beginning of a new chapter on Malayalam cinema to bring web series experience to theatres. As usual the movie is very realistic like any other Malayalam movie.

***Anweshippin Kandethum Malayalam Movie Review ****

Starring Tovino Thomas in the lead role directed by Darwin Kuriakose..

** A well crafted Thriller Movie ***

2 cases, but very interesting to watch as the movie very well takes us through the journey of the investigating officer & his team in unlocking the mystery behind the crimes.

Set in the period of 1980's mid to 1990 , the movie shows us how during that period there was no technology infrastructure to support to solve the case but with the available resources and with the sheer brilliance of how they were able to unlock the mystery.

Another positive factor, the movie doesn't glorify the heroism in a contemporary whereas it glorifies the efficient qualities, of a police officer making the movie worth watchable.

The cinematography, the production design, the score properly blends with the story.

Jinu V Abhraham screenplay deserves an applause..

Overall an interesting thriller experience worthy enough to watch in a big screen.
