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.

Tovino. Cop drama. Crime Thriller. Been waiting to watch this one for a while.

There a few ways to look at this film - people who don't usually watch crime drama might watch it and have their minds blown. People who who do watch a lot of crime drama are likely going to enjoy it, or be let down.

Before that, Tovino was great in the film. Music - surprisingly, Santosh Narayanan - nothing great to write home about, it was good. We've gotten better stuff from him. Cinematography - the film had me go "Wow, that's a good shot!" at several instances.

The writing - depending on what category you belong to from ^ you're likely going to (really) enjoy it or feel a little let down. Enjoy because you're likely going get a 'double treat' or feel let down, because you signed up for only one film but ended up getting two kinda disjointed films, with a long runtime.

I unfortunately fall into the latter category and think this could have much so much shorter and so much better, but it's a decent one-time watch nevertheless.

I highly recommend watching this movie as it surpassed my expectations. It consists of two episodes of murder mysteries, with the first story being decent, but the second one was truly intriguing. Every scene was engaging, and none of them felt unnecessary. The music was used only in the necessary parts of the film.

The twists and turns were executed brilliantly, but the only drawback in the first story was that the killer was introduced only when the hero finalized the suspect. It would have been better if the killer were introduced earlier, resulting in a massive revelation.

The actors did an excellent job, especially Tovino Thomas, who portrayed a subtle character, which is quite different from his usual cheerful and fun roles in his previous films I watched. Overall, I can assure you that this movie will not disappoint, and you should definitely give it a watch.

This movie is not going to suprise you with major twists and turns like the Drishyam series but keeps you engaged the entire length of the movie. The stories are simple and well acted.

The main protagonist is a young cop investigating a girl's murder. He faces stiff resistance from locals when he tries to investigate a local monastery for the case. Things get more difficult when the senior officers in his own area sideline him from the case and want to close the case for political reasons. When an innocent man is forcibly framed, the dead girl's father appeals to him to find the real killer. So he starts the unofficial investigation and succeeds in finding the real killer(with support from a top police head). But tragic events out of his control lead to the suspension of his entire team.

The team is given a lifeline after some months by the police chief to investigate a 6-year old cold case. The whole village is in mutiny over a reinvestigation but the team still succeeds in identifying the killer.

The locations are very good. As for actors, Tovino Thomas has the maximum screen time with rest of the cast getting barely 20%. Since the film hints of a sequel, hope they give more scope to the other actors as well in the next movie.

Overall decent one-time watch.

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.
