***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.

The film ' Anweshippin Kandethum ' directed by the debutant Darwin Kuriakose starring Tovino Thomas is an engaging and gripping investigation thriller film. The film doesn't have much commercial elements or any unnecessary sub plots , it's just straight investigation and keeps the story moving forward. I loved how they set up the first half story and then an even better second half story which was thrilling to say the least. The film had great performances from the cast and Tovino shined in this film. The background score by Santosh Narayanan was brillaint , perfectly creating that mystical vibe. I loved the second half more and the climax was really good. Also the cinematography was top aswell. The film is good and is entertaining till the end. Good 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.

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.
