A Look At Tovino Thomas’ 7 Recent Films To Watch Online!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Tovino Thomas has been a prominent face in Mollywood cinema for over a decade. His superhero film Minnal Murali helped him gain pan-Indian recognition during this time. He is not just an actor but also a producer, yet consistent theatrical success has often eluded him. So today, we’ve compiled a list of some of his recent films, specifically the ones where he plays a major role, and ranked them as per their current IMDb ratings while listing where you can watch them.

1. 2018 (2023) Streaming On: SonyLIV IMDb Rating: 8.3/10 Director: Jude Anthany Joseph

Plot: Inspired by the real-life 2018 Kerala floods, the film depicts how the state and its people endured and survived during that time. It highlights how the community came together to help each other without discrimination, how common people assisted their fellow citizens in escaping certain death,...

Talking about the suspension of disbelief, convincing writing can pull a viewer through a film’s flow even with unbelievable amounts of cinematic liberties taken. But what is absolutely necessary is a writing that engulfs the viewer into its world and characters. This is what is amiss in the Akhil Paul-Anas Khan directorial, “Identity” (2025). The trio of Akhil Paul, Anas Khan, and Tovino Thomas in their sophomore outing attempts to build a big-scale action thriller but crumbles at the most fundamental aspect of world and character building. The final product becomes a simple core that gets lost in an overly un-necessarily convoluted screenplay.

“Identity” starts by introducing Tovino’s Haran, a young boy with an obsessive and peculiar personality as an aftermath of abusive parenting by his alcoholic deceased father. Dr.Sudharshan’s words about Haran lure the audience to a psychological premise only to be dissatisfied as the story takes full shape.

Directed by Anas Khan and Akhil Paul, it was tough to keep up with the events in Identity, and there was so much that happened in those excruciatingly long 2 hours and 35 minutes. The film does not let you catch your breath, and every second, it throws in a twist that takes the storyline in a completely opposite direction. The problem is not how stuffed with events Identity is, but that it is all way too conveniently arranged. So, let’s try to understand the series of events through a detailed explainer of the film.

Spoiler Alert

What was Amar up to?

At the beginning of Identity, we saw that a man named Amar Felix was blackmailing girls by threatening to expose videos of them in compromising situations. Now at times, he raped women and recorded the act, and sometimes he just placed hidden cameras in trial rooms and used the footage to extort money.

If you missed watching the movie “Identity” in theatres due to some unpredictable reasons and commitments, then no need to regret this. But why? It is because Identity is going to get streamed on the Ott platform ZEE5 from this 31st January 2025 only. So, isn’t it great to have an opportunity for you? Let’s dig a hole into the movie to have a glimpse of what the movie holds for its viewers.

Quick Rundown of Identity

Identity is a South Indian film that made its debut on the big screen on January 2, 2025. The movie is directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, who have perfectly carved out the suspense and thriller in this Malayalam action-packed movie. The presence of talented Tovino Thomas and Trisha Krishnan added more hot off to the press, making it a catalyzing conversation that counted among the cinephiles.

The movie has already committed its...

Tovino Thomas kicked off 2024 with the investigative thriller Anweshippin Kandethum, now streaming on Netflix. This year, he started with another investigation-themed project. His action thriller Identity, featuring impressive action set pieces, hit theaters on January 2, 2025. The film is set to make its Ott debut within the same month of its theatrical release.

Plot

The female lead possesses a remarkable photographic memory, making her an invaluable witness to a murder. The male lead, a skilled martial artist with a unique talent for sketching, is driven by a past marred by childhood trauma and abuse at the hands of his father, which has left him with obsessive-compulsive tendencies. These complex backstories set the stage for the investigation.

Identity, starring Tovino Thomas, Trisha, and Vinay Rai in key roles, has failed to create any impact during its theatrical run. The film kicked off its journey on a decent note and was aiming to be the first success of Mollywood in 2025, but sadly, it couldn’t maintain the required pace and crashed miserably. As a result, it has closed its run at the Indian box office by staying below the mark of 10 crores. Keep reading for a detailed closing collection report!

Directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, the Malayalam action thriller was released theatrically on January 2. It received mixed reviews from critics. While the performances of the leading cast were appreciated, it was termed a half-baked investigation thriller. Even among audiences, it fared with mixed word-of-mouth and couldn’t attract higher footfalls.

Coming from the dynamic Akhil Paul-Anas Khan duo, who previously directed Forensic, Identity created significant hype among viewers right from its teaser release. But did it deliver on the hype? Starring Tovino Thomas, Trisha, Vinai Rai, Shammi Thilakan, and Aju Varghese, it’s fairly obvious that the film does quite well with its performances.

Tovino Thomas plays Haran Shankar, a sketch artist with Ocd, seeking perfection in everything. Tovino has excelled in portraying this character, both through his physical mannerisms and expressions, without overdoing it. Trisha plays Alisha, a crime witness. The character feels a bit bland and underwritten, but it can be said that Trisha has done justice to the role with all she could offer.

Vinai Rai, being the seasoned performer he is, has done an exceptional job with his character, Allen Jacob, a grim-witted police officer investigating the case. The intense face-offs between Vinai and Tovino were...

Sitting through the Hindi remake of the 2020 Malayalam whodunit Forensic, is not a pleasant way to spend one’s time. The mauling that the remake makers have done with the original film is inexplicably thoroughly condemnable, there should be laws protecting the source-material from such serious lynching. Just because a producer buys the rights of a successful film, he should by no means have the right to subject the original to a fury of absurd alterations. The relationship between the original and the remake should be that between the landlord and the tenant. You can’t add rooms or break walls .

Then, of course , there is the bad acting. Tomas Tovino in the original was Samuel, a forensic expert with a delightfully wicked sense of humour. In the remake Vikrant Massey , usually a dependable character, makes the forensic expert seem like a cross between a petulant child and an insensitive professional.

Following the very popular genre mix of forensic/serial killer, Akhil Paul and Anas Khan co-write and co-direct “Forensic” a by-the-book whodunnit thriller who is currently available on the Netflix catalogue.

Scrupulous and workaholic chief investigating officer Rithika Xavier (Mamta Mohandas) is in charge of the murder investigation of an 8-year-old girl, vanished after a dance class and daughter of a middle-class local family, but when a second girl disappear, the hypothesis of a serial killer in town becomes a certainty. Rithika is determined to create a dedicated team for the purpose of capturing the killer as soon as possible, but the police force is too busy, and her boss can only allow her to borrow their medico-legal advisor Samuel John Kattukaran (Tovino Thomas). Not a good start as Rithika and Sam know each other from some past painful family issues and they are not very comfortable working as a team.

ObituaryAnil was under treatment at a private hospital in Ernakulam for liver disease.Tnm StaffSouth indian actor Anil Murali, 56, died at a private hospital in Ernakulam on Thursday. He was under treatment for liver disease. The actor was mainly known for his villain roles. Anil had acted in more than 200 films. He had also acted in notable character roles. He was born in Thiruvananthapuram and is survived by his wife Suma, son Adithya and daughter Arundathi. His parents are Muraleedharan Nair and Sreekumariyamma.

Anil entered the film industry in 1993 with the movie Kanyakumariyil Oru Kavitha directed by Vinayan. His first prominent role was in Valkannadi, starring Kalabhavan Mani.

ReviewAt the heart of the film is an investigation team led by an Ips officer played by Mamtha Mohandas and a forensic medico-legal advisor played by Tovino Thomas.CrisLoud background music, slow motions, I-told-you-so moments and some gore – Forensic sticks to all the key elements of a mystery thriller. You might doubt for a moment whether the key suspects are revealed too soon, defying the standard rule of revealing the killer only in the last possible moment. But first-time directors Anas Khan and Akhil Paul throw one surprise after another, and in the end you leave with a handful of twists, at the heart of which is your investigation team led by Ips officer Rithika Xavier (Mamtha Mohandas) and forensic medico-legal advisor Samuel John Kattookaran (Tovino Thomas). The film is tightly packed and has its moments, but the script tries too hard to keep surprising you, missing the whole point that the story comes first.
