Gumasthan

This Malayalam thriller, offers an intriguing premise but falters in execution. The film's initial build-up and police investigation are well-crafted, maintaining suspense until the interval. However, the narrative slows down in the second half, becoming predictable and cliché-ridden. Despite this, Shaju Sreedhar delivers a commendable performance, while the lead actor portraying Pallipadan shows potential but lacks the depth a seasoned actor might have brought to the role. The film's reliance on formulaic elements and exaggerated heroism detracts from its potential, making it a missed opportunity for a truly gripping thriller experience.
