Kannur Squad

One of the best movies of Mammootty in recent times. An investigation thriller. I went with zero expectations and i liked the movie very much. Mammooty is a ASI rank Police Officer and he and 3 other including Azeez, Shabareesh and one more include the Kannur Squad and they are investigating a murder case. In this movie, Mammootty is not mass "Athavanameda Police " (Mammootty's earlier movie dialogue) Line but realistic normal Police Officer heading the Kannur Squad. But second half had good mass elements. Sunny Wayne, Vijayaraghavan, Kishore, Manoj KU, one Tech helper (Dont know name) and all other did their job well. 4.5 out of 5 for this film.

I had high expectations for this film and safe to say this movie really did meet my standards. The plot was original and not cliche at all. The fight scenes were great and did not look fake at all. The movie was so interesting people were on the edge of the seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. Mammotty and his team acted so naturally and we could see all the betrayal, friendships and reconciliation throughout the film. The viewers were misguided so many times throughout the films, there were plot twists were you least expected them. I would have given the film 10 stars but I feel like there were some parts that were left incomplete they weren't major parts most viewers probably don't even notice but we did. I also would have given it to 10 stars if they had given Sushin Shyam more opportunities to show off this music and bgm. Don't get me wrong I loved the music but I feel like sushin could have made even better music if he had more opportunities. There were like 2 songs in the movie and I felt like we needed more music and more bgm. I know sushin can do more music if there was time, but I also felt that since it was a thriller and there needed to be a lot of talking sushin wasn't able to fit in bgms in the middle like in kurup and bheeshmaparvam. The beginning scene where the music came in was amazing it gave everyone goosebumps and everyone was praising sushin for it. Sushin did a great job with the music in conclusion. Overall this movie was amazing the whole team was amazing and I would recommend it to every mammokka fan I know. I really hope to see movies like this in the future, can't wait!!

Kannur Squad is super cinema. Hearty congrats to Mammokka for the Mesmerizing act. You are a super hero. Excellent direction from the beginning till end. A special word of appreciation to the director. Very good background music. Even without romance and songs, the movie is awesome. Wonderful camera. Very beautiful locations. Great team work. Even the villain characters are so great. The storyline is so good. Each character has its own identity. I would like to watch again the movie. Don't miss the opportunity to watch the movie. Hats off to the entire team for the excellent execution of the cinema. I am so happy for the excellent treat. Anitha Kumary L.

I will leave the technical side for the professionals and talk about my personal view on the movie. The satisfaction we were left with after watching this movie was nothing short of pure bliss. Honestly I just love it when a movie comes out with minimal promotion or hype, and performs well solely based on how good it is.

It's rare nowadays to be able to sit through a movie and finish it without discontent about one thing or another, but this movie did just that and so much more. Every single second of it was executed exceptionally. The direction and cinematography was so good, everyone that was cast did their job perfectly, especially Azeez and Rony, and not to mention The tech guy and the North Indian constable, and I don't have to say anything much about Mammootty right? He did what he always does, he took on the role with class, dissected it, fleshed it out, and made it his own.

Coming to the OST, Sushin Shyam was mixing fire throughout the movie until the very end, the guy never misses. Absolutely loved the movie and worth every single penny. A must watch in the theatres.

The Kannuar Squad headed by ASI George Martin (Mammootty) is assigned a brutal murder case of a businessman, where the daughter of the businessman was assaulted. With the culprits on the run and very few clues at their disposal, George Martin and team go on a wild goose chase, facing multiple hurdles on their, along with the usual police + political pressure. How they nab the criminals forms rest of the story.

It is inspired from the real events faced by the actual Kannur Squad officers so the narrative sticks to the investigative procedure and adding enough action scenes for entertainment purpose. The film starts in 2015 and introduces the Kannur Squad, to establish how the team works/thinks while solving a case. Then the story moves to the main case and the film remains engaging throughout the investigating scenes.

What felt as a downer was the weakly written villains. Though for the commercial appeal, the action scene especially the one in a village came out really good but the rest of the action scenes were pretty ordinary. At this age, one cannot expect Mammootty or the body double to be shown to do crazy stunts so I am not going to complain about the action scenes too much. The drama works and having someone like Kishore in the supporting cast adds immense value. Overall, if one can ignore the ordinary climax, the film largely delivers and is definitely a decent watch.
