Officer on Duty

I was really excited about this movie, and it was surprising to learn that it was the only one certified as a hit in theaters last month. I won't say praise the screenplay much, it's not the best one from Shahi but it's still an engaging one. There were a few plotholes in the film and it could have been easily avoided.

I think ' Officer on Duty' is one of the biggest hits of Kunchak's career and he has portrayed his role properly. Recently, he has been selecting some quality scripts. Kudos to that effort.

Another highlight of this film, is the music from Jakes Bejoy. The soundtrack is very apt for a movie like this.

The production design was also okay but as mentioned above there are a few plotholes that could have been easily avoided. What I'm talking about are things that the filmmakers could have easily sorted, and everyone watching the movie would easily notice those elements.

Wanna watch a movie that'll keep you with its thoughts for long nights? This movie is your destination. Sat with not much expectations but left the theatres with a whole lot of content , satisfaction and emotions.

It absolutely blew my mind with the flow of the storylines , how the dots were connected one by one. Not even a minute felt boring or long, the ending brought me to anxiousness and thrill as the scenes took twists and turns .

Covering one of the major issues and mixing it with emotions, drama, action and what not., made the movie "worth a watch".

Coming to the performance , saying I'm speechless would be a disregard. Even though I am short of words , I would say that their acting added the spice to the storyline which made it more gripping .

From the main lead to the villains , everyone served a huge meal of extraordinary performance .

From anger to sorrow , everyone played it in the best way possible.

Its a 10 for me , cuz that's all it has to get. If you are a crime thriller stan, its highly recommended ! Once you watch it , you will definitely relate to these words. Hats off to the filmmakers and the cast.

Jithu Ashraf's directorial debut, Officer on Duty, is a crime investigation thriller that revolves around various sexual as*aults, su*cides, and murders. Written by Shahi Kabir, the film starts off brilliantly, with an almost near-perfect first half that not only engages the audience but also delivers the thrill. However, while the second half still delivers, the introduction of commercial elements and a stretched screenplay prevent it from reaching its full potential. Jakes Bejoy once again delivers a brilliant score, and the music is commendable. The camerawork, editing, and sound design are also impressive.

Kunchacko Boban excels as the troubled yet diligent police officer, convincingly portraying a character disturbed by personal tragedy. Priyamani supports him well. The antagonist gang, led by Vishak Nair,does a good job, but at times, their portrayal becomes too over-the-top, veering into cliché territory. The rest of the cast performs decently. The action sequences are well-executed. The screenplay reveals the right information at the right time, though the commercial elements slightly detract from the impact. Overall,Officer on Duty is a very good thriller, though its second half follows a formulaic approach.

Nevertheless, definitely recommended.

OVERALL -6.5/10.

Villains in the movie were not convincing.

That meant the entire movie's base was shaky. However, I did watch it without batting an eyelid. So the movie does deliver.

Kunchacko has done good work. Some tough scenes to perform - well executed.

Neon Ride song does bring in some novelty.

Crux of the plot is almost silly.

Action keeps the movie going.

Some surprises here and there.

Songs were not impressive in general.

A thrill ride nevertheless. Good action choreography, camera work.

Background score was relentless. Some of the character artists have done good work. I liked the subdued acting of Kunchacko's superior officer.

It is a very good effort from the director even while there were shortcomings in terms of the script. The direction keeps the movie fast paced.

What a movie this is the best of 2025 this is a movie you should watch in theatre it demands for it a complete kunchako boban show he just rulled the movie the villain gang bro they were just too good especially vishak 🔥🔥 bro he has a great future pure villanism and this movie keeps you thrilled throughout the action choreography especially the mortuary fight scene my man a sureshot banger 🔥i the intro shot itself promised something big is coming a full on full engaging thriller the best 💯 theatrical experience of 2025 of mine Chackocha enthoru acting minimum garuntee go blindly you will enjoy it.
