Sookshmadarshini

Sookshama Darshini, directed by MC Jithin is an enjoyable and twisty mystery with an end that you never see coming.

Stuffed with red herrings, sub-plots and many plausible explanations, this is a wonderul whodunnit that doesn't miss a beat.

With Priya, played with great aplomb by Nazariya, we finally get a fleshed-out, homegrown, female detective whose suspicious gaze no one can escape.

A special shoutout to Sidharth Bharathan for being equal parts menacing and comedic and to Basil Joseph for playing against his type.

Here's hoping there will be a sequel and we can see more of Priya Antony cracking mysteries.

In other words ,this one taste like a Fine Wine ; like Wine it will take time to kick the effect ,then minute by minute effect will keep multiplying it!

Brilliant screenplay by Athul Ramachandran & Libin and well cooked by M C Jithin !

Nazriya Nazim done a Good job ; not her typical roles but very nicely done and different yet signature style Shining act by Basil Joseph !

Fantastic supporting roles by others ; especially Akhila Bhargavanan is Promising One for Future !

Intriguing BGM by Christo Xavierr and All other technical side match the Brilliance of the Screenplay !

Go for it and Don't be the Spoilers.

The movie was good. A woman living with her husband and having friends in the neighborhood starts to notice something suspicious about their newly arrived neighbor. Determined to uncover the truth, she digs deeper and finds herself entangled in a mysterious situation. Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph delivered outstanding performances, bringing their characters to life with great depth and nuance. The film is filled with unexpected twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at times, the music felt somewhat cartoonish, which, in my opinion, detracted from the overall thrill and suspense of the film. Despite this, I couldn't find any other negatives. It's a nice movie with a captivating storyline and excellent acting.

An intriguing mystery thriller reflecting a social mishap through an alluring storyline.

The story revolves around a closely knitted middle class neighborhood and the eccentric events that happen when an ambiguous family joins them.

The writer trio has conceived the brainchild and triumphed in executing it spectacularly. The visual narration has engrossed the audience to the screen forming a strong backdrop for progress of the story. The innocence and care by the fellow neighbourhood is evident through brilliant casting and sound screenplay.

The first half leaves an eerie room for skepticm, anxiety in the viewers before the intermission. The latter half moves lethargically giving the audience an open pass for arriving at many story conclusions but leverages back on track with a surprising twist in the final 20 minutes leaving a lasting impression that reminds me of the phrase "The tiger leaps two steps back not of fear,but to attack". The tail end sequence will give answers to all the confusions and misinterpretations showing the deadly significance of 'Karma'.

Splendid performance by Nazriya as the bold mischievous young lady marks the ideal response for her brilliance in script selection and the time intervals in her filmography. Basil has effortlessly done the strange characterisation through his witty mannerisms and actions. Sidharth Bharathan has delivered a subtle performance as a nerdy doc. Impressive performances from Akhila Bhargavan,Pooja Mohanraj,Merin Mary Philip,Kottayam Ramesh,Deepak Parambol,Gopan Mangat,Manohari Joy & Jaya Kurup.

Sookshma Darshini will be marked as the hottest golden feather in Happy Hours banner. Brilliant frames by Sharan Velayudhan added with Christo's hooking BGM's and Chaman's meticulous trimming has given an engaging experience. Srik Varier also deserves appreciation for the color effects and the darker tones lifting the mood of the story.

A must theatre experience for a gripping and sound story narration with spellbound performances.
