Golam

A crime investigation thriller that keeps the audience thoroughly engaging till the end.

The story moves through the mysterious murder investigation of a corporate chief at his office and how the investigation officer hunts the truth behind it.

Kudos to the director for visually connecting & engaging the audience to the screen with a short span of 2 hrs with very minimal location.

The modus-o-perandi used in committing the crime was convincing but the way the investigating official cracks out the culprit seems way too easy. Praveen Prabhakar & Samjad has penned the script in a perfect way to show the backstory plot behind the murder. 👍

Ranjith Sajeev brilliantly portrayed the character of the investigation officer through his stance,persona and attitude.👏All the actors has performed really well in the movie.

Golam would have taken a leap with better promotional strategies by the production team.

Rating - 3.25/5.

Except for couple of scenes in climax, the thriller movie is superbly made, acted and a treat to watch. Movie ticks on all boxes from story to cinematography to music. How does Mollywood keeps on churning wonderful thrillers which are made in low or medium budget?

The Lead actor, who is relatively new to mollywood, has performed admirably and does look like veteran in giving polished performance. Veteran actors like Siddique, Alencer has given brilliant performances. Important non star cast of movie has outperformed themselves in roles worthy of lifetime.

The movie also raises important questions on ethics and present cut throat environment, which we are living in. Hats off to team.

The story of the movie begins with the opening title itself. During the opening credits, they portray each character and their surroundings. Each character in the movie has their own significance. I like the storyline; it seems like a normal death at first, but then the ASP officer enters the scene and the way he handles the situation is awesome. A big shoutout to Ranjith Sanjeev (Mike fame); he is a pure example of how an actor can perform under the proper guidance of a brilliant director. The way he solves the puzzle of the crime is so good. It was thrilling to watch as well. In the end, each of the scenes is interconnected, and the way it is portrayed on screen is nothing but brilliant direction. Samjad, the director, you have a long way to go, man. The special thing about the end of this movie is that there is obviously a second part, but they have multiple options to go into it. There are different stories to hit on for the second part. Also, a lot of newbie actors and actresses have been given opportunities in this movie, and none of them failed on screen. Each of them delivered a good performance. Movies like this should be promoted instead of the false promotions happening on social media currently. Golam was silent before its release but is now getting enough appreciation. Go watch it in theatres; it is value for money.

During the initial thirty minutes, I found myself constantly questioning what made this film so remarkable, as I struggled to comprehend the widespread acclaim it was receiving amongst viewers over the internet.

However, once I reached the point of interval and the revelation came through to the front, I had my queries answered. The unexpected turn of events caught me off guard; I never anticipated the script to tread such an unconventional path.

All the technical aspects and the meticulous way in which the narrative was narrated, with every minor detail thoughtfully considered, are genuinely impressive and merit praise.

On the other hand, the conclusion left much to be desired! I fail to understand the decision to leave the story unresolved, as there seems to be no justification for setting the stage for a sequel.

Whilst I would very much like to delve deeper into the storyline, I must refrain from doing so, as even tiny details could spoil the experience for others, and I wish to avoid that at all costs.

This movie just suprised me. It's must watch movie for all who are interested in crime, mystery and thriller. Well written and executed.

With no star power or any big names, the movie Concentrated about their content and was confident about it.

The crew involved right from the director to the crew have done a splendid job.

The Content was well maded and displayed and the entire Golam Team requires a huge shout out!!

Wish this movie was promoted better and that it should have reached more people. And would love to see more regional languages are included.

Wish them the very best for Golam 2!!

The movie is a must watch for all those who love crime thriller genre.. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.. The movie deserves much more hype and attention... The casting, plot and narrative are excellent. Felt a step ahead of 'Thalavan'.. The story line is not at all confusing as it has been the case in some other movies..Also the suspense element keeps one glued to the screen throughout..Nothing to pinpoint..Good work by all the crew members, especially the new comers..Never felt like they were new comers..There is a second part and the best thing is movie ends well..Hopefully they will keep up the expectation..

A howdunnit murder mystery with an interesting story turned into a script that needs more drafts. The direction with the use of camera and music tries to cover up any weakness in the script which kind of works by the second half of the movie. The over-the-top use of music reminded me of how some soap operas use plagiarised over-the-top action music from movies for no reason while showing close-ups of everyone in that scene. Even though this was only two hours, it could still have trimmed another twenty minutes out of it and it would've worked better. The lead actor wasn't particularly bad but besides his chiselled body and stoic posture, he couldn't really bring the audience to care for him as the lead. But all the other supporting cast did their roles really well. The moments where I first thought their acting was a bit over the top were justified to be like that once the mystery starts unravelling. The different demography of people in an office setup felt quite real for the current time and not in the stereotypical way that is usually seen in movies.

There are a lot of aspects that may feel silly but the film manages to be engaging especially in the second half, and I felt I could forgive a lot of its mistakes. The film ends with a promise of a sequel which I can only imagine to be much bigger in scope and I don't think that is really viable with the current setup.

On the whole, despite all its issues, it felt like a commendable attempt of an investigation thriller that tries something different in Malayalam, even though it clearly borrows a lot from Agatha Christie to CSI.

This is an engaging thriller where you will not get bored even for a minute. The crime happens inside a small IT company and ACP Sandeep is investigating it. In the first look it seems an accident , But an intelligent officer do an investigation and slowly many things unfolds . Lead role is played by Ranjith sajeev who is not familiar to malayali audience. His performance came as surprise and takes the film on his shoulders. Other characters like siddique, Dilish pothen are well placed and played their role effectively. Sunny wayn having a guest role.

At the end director beautifully leave the option for a sequel. That is also interesting.

The film Golam is a cinematic work belonging to the investigation thriller drama genre, directed by Samjad.

The narrative is centred on the demise of a managing director within an IT company, with the investigation being conducted by Sandeep, a police officer who is both efficient and cunning. While there was initially no indication of foul play, Officer Sandeep's meticulous investigation, which included questioning all employees and examining minute details, led him to suspect murder. This suspicion was further fuelled by the discovery of unusual occurrences, prompting a parallel investigation. Through this investigation, Sandeep uncovered further clandestine details about the IT company. The investigation revealed that the managing director had been using the employees as test subjects for a new medical vaccine, administered through mineral water and tea powder. The vaccine had a detrimental effect on the employees. The employees, with the assistance of a doctor, came to the conclusion that they had been used as test subjects for the vaccine, and they collectively planned to kill the managing director.

The inspector was unaware of the identity of the individual responsible for the director's death. However, subsequent analysis of CCTV footage revealed that the murder was executed in a methodical and coordinated manner by all employees. Each individual participated in the crime to a lesser extent, and during working hours, their movements were not captured by CCTV cameras. Sanjeev ascertained that the murder was perpetrated by introducing carbon dioxide into the bathroom, which resulted in the director's asphyxiation.

Sanjeev's perspective was that the right to kill the managing director was them, due to the fact that the latter had exploited them in an experiment related to a vaccine. In the report, Sanjeev stated that the act was a suicide, and that there was no doubt that it was murder.

The narrative was engaging, and the direction was standard, with some of the performances appearing to be dramatic, including the acting of the protagonist in certain sections. However, the final sections of the film were found to be implausible, with some scenes appearing more unrealistic. Despite these issues, the film is regarded as a worthwhile watching experience and is recommended for its merits.

Must watch movie this movie about full investigation and thrilling and suspense

Golam is an exciting thriller movie. Most of them are new faces, but they have done a brilliant job. The movie has a strong script. If you love thriller-genre movies,. Go for it.

. We are Waiting for 2nd part.

Excellent and Exiting Scrip Best Wishes for Renjith Sajeev & Team Golam.

Unexpected very good thriller movie A new fear unlocking one Best performance done by all. Especially Actor Ranjith sajeev, Siddique, Karthik Shankar.

Lacks in effective writing and a compelling lead actor is compensated to some extent by debutant Samjad's slick narration.

Just saw movie on Amazon prime with subtitles...no previous information about movie but kept me intresting till end... story start with murder investigation and ends with decent thriller...story is simple who done type but direction and acting make them enjoyable to watch....from start to end movie hold the plot effectively which is great for thriller...no unnecessary subplot or songs. .all the actor has done justice to their rolls..you can easily watch movie with friends and family....only minus point is sometimes unrealistic twist which is hard to digest.but from thrilling view you can neglect... overall very nice movie.

The story of the movie Golam might feel familiar to people who watch or listen to movies frequently. Especially for viewers of detective films. There is a link between this movie's concept and the story of a significant book written by renowned author Agatha Christie. Perhaps accidental. Nevertheless, this film may have been a solid investigative thriller if it had a new storyline and had a few more talented performers. The movie frequently shifts in tempo and veers away from the intended message. The main character, who pointlessly snaps and then examines a photo on his phone, is the best illustration of this. Both the screenplay and the story are old. This one has every element common to all other investigative thrillers. Just one viewing of the film is sufficient. In any case, the writer deserves a hearty round of applause. Because it's difficult to manage so many different characters at once and come up with a confusing murdering method that nobody recognizes.

An average movie- that's it, nothing more nothing less. There are flaws but I apppreciate the effort taken by the creators in the film. I liked the way the creators executed this film, despite its flaws.

But many things could have been easily avoided. The main lead actor was a miscast and I felt an artificiality throughout his scenes. Physique aside, I personally didn't like his acting in this film. The color grading was also kinda irritating. Putting more effort into subtle elements like this could have made a difference, I guess.

Now coming to the film, there are a few flaws in the screenplay but let's leave it aside - I didn't understand why they went for a 'not-so-straightforward' ending, that was pointless.

If you're an avid crime fiction fan, I believe you'll notice some similarities between this movie and a famous book.

I can't believe I missed this movie in cinemas when it released in 2024. Watching it now, I'm amazed at how gripping and engaging the story was from start to finish. The plot was incredibly well-paced, and every scene had me hooked. The performances by the cast were outstanding, and the cinematography was absolutely stunning, adding depth to the immersive experience. The twists and turns kept me guessing throughout, making it an unforgettable watch. If the movie had been better promoted, it would have easily been a blockbuster hit because it deserves all the attention. I am eagerly waiting for Part 2, which I'm sure will take the story to even greater heights. This movie is a masterpiece in its genre, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates well-crafted storytelling and strong character development.

Another addition to an overdone genre of murder mysteries? Sigh, but fortunately Golam does not disappoint, though it comes with its fare share of flaws, especially casting. The movie could have benefitted from a more talented and experienced cast. It is evident they are trying to show ASP Sandeep as this extraordinary and smart cop but the characterization falls flat. Ranjith Sajeev's passable expressions and charm do not help either.

There's too much happening towards the end making it a little hard to keep track of things happening around, especially unveiling the mystery bit. It gets a little complicated, losing our interest.

Golam (2024) : Brief Review -

There is no perfect crime, but there can be a perfect group murder! I am sorry if I have spoiled your dish here, but that's one way of catching your attention and bringing it to this well-made thriller. We can call it a murder mystery more than a thriller because... well, you'll understand when you watch the film. Revenge and human conscience are two theories that even make someone's murder justified because it's more like self-defense. Drishyam showed us how. Similarly, Golam does it in its own style, but instead of one man or a woman, you have to make a group murder. This also boosts its screenplay and storyline because getting away with a murder alone is more difficult than doing it in a group. With a group, you are much safer and are entitled to get away because the law has its own terms. As they say, if a single man does it, it's a murder. If a group does it, it's Vadh/Slaughter/Penalty/or whatever you call it. Golam still keeps many things unrevealed for its sequel, and we all can guess that there will be another murder, another perfect crime. So, the film is about the death of an MD of the V-Tech company, who has asthma. He goes to the bathroom and is then found after a while. When others are of the opinion that it's an accident, the main investigating officer has his own doubts. He dives deep into the case and discovers many unknown secrets that put him in a difficult situation since his job is to catch criminals rather than think about what's justice and what's not. Will he be able to do his duty? Ranjith Sajeev, as a cop, does a fine job, and the big supporting cast has also done well. Samjad's direction and screenplay with Praveen are what make it a thrilling affair, despite the main spoiler being openly revealed in the review. It's not about who did the murder, but it's about why and how. Watch Golam to know more.

RATING - 6.5/10*

By - #samthebestest.

Golam is a classic who dunnit murder mystery that keeps you invested throughout and justifies your time that you spend watching it.

Script, background score is point on, all the actors played their part well, I also liked how it starts as just another ordinary day with everyone going through their daily routine activities and then as the day unfolds a what would have been another BAU day turns into something else with cops investigating an incident that to the naked eye looks like an unfortunate accident but on more deep dive it's seems more unlikely to be an accident and more likely to be a murder. I liked the entire execution of this movie and looking forward to what's next in store.

A well executed suspense thriller. Story revolves around a death in the office during working hours which only the investigative officer believes to be a murder while rest all presume it to be a natural death. Basically entire movie is a crime investigative thriller. Execution is straight to the point n keeps one engaged throughout guessing why n how was it executed with no traces of evidence. However, though it's an average script, execution of the same is neat n captivating. A decent one time watch. Story leaves with a hint that it will have a sequel. Originally a Malayalam movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi. Available in Amazon Prime, my ratings 6.5/10!

It is a one time watch movie. Engaging from top to bottom. Proper example of A good Malaylam script & Fantastic execution. But the "Golam" name is not suitable for this storyline. Why was it named Golam? The naming could be more relatable. While revelling the secrets of the movie, the murder seems quite difficult. The supporting actor was well performer & helped a lot to grab the audience from 1st page of the movie to last page of the movie. Sequence to this movie is unnecessary. It could be ended in one movie. I think the sequel won't be as much good as this movie. As a fan & Critic Best of luck for "Golam"..

The amount of footage , build-up for the Hero was like a Telugu star movie. I had my doubts and turned out to be true. Movie is produced by the rich parents of the lead actor to showcase his star capabilities and the murder plot is just a side show.

The whole premise is inspired from a famous Agatha Christie book/movie which I wont mention to keep the suspense. But halfway through the movie the whole thing is unravelled. The Doctor character has to be the stupidest one who doesn't inform police or journalists with all the evidence collected. Gives his story to the police guy only when he raises a suspicion as an afterthought. You know who did it and why, still your reaction is an afterthought. Especially when you have been collecting evidence for a year. Then Hero wont look so super smart. We also have to showcase his body with a unnecessary exercise scene then a running scene.

But we wont push him for better acting. And we are threatened by a second part ahead..
