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.

Set in late 1980 - 1990 period ,story of police investigation of two extreme crimes !

Splendid casting and great production works is the highlight and sharp writing by #JinuAbraham and good direction by Darwin Kuriakose !

Exquisite cinematography and editing is super impressive ! And BGM is exciting! And artwork , costumes deserved appreciation!

Don't be the spoiler of the story,the plot twists and unexpected moments need to be witnessed without spoilers!

Performances led by tovino thomas and all cast acting is solid and impactful!

This one surely needed to be experienced from big screen !

Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.
