Kannur Squad

The Kannuar Squad headed by ASI George Martin (Mammootty) is assigned a brutal murder case of a businessman, where the daughter of the businessman was assaulted. With the culprits on the run and very few clues at their disposal, George Martin and team go on a wild goose chase, facing multiple hurdles on their, along with the usual police + political pressure. How they nab the criminals forms rest of the story.

It is inspired from the real events faced by the actual Kannur Squad officers so the narrative sticks to the investigative procedure and adding enough action scenes for entertainment purpose. The film starts in 2015 and introduces the Kannur Squad, to establish how the team works/thinks while solving a case. Then the story moves to the main case and the film remains engaging throughout the investigating scenes.

What felt as a downer was the weakly written villains. Though for the commercial appeal, the action scene especially the one in a village came out really good but the rest of the action scenes were pretty ordinary. At this age, one cannot expect Mammootty or the body double to be shown to do crazy stunts so I am not going to complain about the action scenes too much. The drama works and having someone like Kishore in the supporting cast adds immense value. Overall, if one can ignore the ordinary climax, the film largely delivers and is definitely a decent watch.

One of the best movies of Mammootty in recent times. An investigation thriller. I went with zero expectations and i liked the movie very much. Mammooty is a ASI rank Police Officer and he and 3 other including Azeez, Shabareesh and one more include the Kannur Squad and they are investigating a murder case. In this movie, Mammootty is not mass "Athavanameda Police " (Mammootty's earlier movie dialogue) Line but realistic normal Police Officer heading the Kannur Squad. But second half had good mass elements. Sunny Wayne, Vijayaraghavan, Kishore, Manoj KU, one Tech helper (Dont know name) and all other did their job well. 4.5 out of 5 for this film.

"Mammootty's performance in 'Kannur Squad' was nothing short of superb. His portrayal of the character was captivating and added depth to the story. The storytelling was executed with finesse, keeping the audience engaged and glued to the screen throughout. The overall experience of the movie's production and execution is truly commendable. 'Kannur Squad' is a must-watch, with its stellar performances and exceptional storytelling leaving a lasting impact on viewers." The level of violence in 'Kannur Squad' is noticeably higher than what is typically seen in Mammootty's movies. It adds a gritty and intense dimension to the film, which may be appealing to some viewers while possibly unsettling to others. It's essential for potential viewers to be aware of this aspect of the movie before watching it.

Damn bruh nice..I'm not surprised that Ikka won't stop anytime soon

It's a combination of slow realistic rat and mouse chase like Rajiv Ravi's Kuttavum Shikshayum (2022) but again has the graph running at a high speed suspense and massy angle like Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017).

Specifically it's a great directorial debut by Roby Varghese Raj; I really loved how there were some nicely taken realistic fight sequences. But I believe the car scenes could have been taken better.

Anyways, dialogues & the plot points did justice to the overall movie telling. But lot of stereotypical elements like UP village violence & all worked here; but little off ig..idk

Must say about the bgm, Sushin Shyam that guy can make any genre music.
