Kannur Squad

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.

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.

Damn bruh nice..I'm not surprised that Ikka won't stop anytime soon

It's a combination of slow realistic rat and mouse chase like Rajiv Ravi's Kuttavum Shikshayum (2022) but again has the graph running at a high speed suspense and massy angle like Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017).

Specifically it's a great directorial debut by Roby Varghese Raj; I really loved how there were some nicely taken realistic fight sequences. But I believe the car scenes could have been taken better.

Anyways, dialogues & the plot points did justice to the overall movie telling. But lot of stereotypical elements like UP village violence & all worked here; but little off ig..idk

Must say about the bgm, Sushin Shyam that guy can make any genre music.

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.
