Sookshmadarshini

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.

A very well directed thriller genre that's fun to watch! Story revolves around a housewife who turns suspicious of the activities of their new neighbour n starts a secret investigation on her own. The theme is basically centred around LGBT honour killing. The movie is a little lengthier n gets a little boring in between but otherwise a very good movie with unique plot n a nice execution. Last 30 mins climax has been too good. There's no stopping for Malyalam industry, back to back hits. Nazriya, Fahadh's wife is way too cute in this movie. Originally a Malayalam movie dubbed in all South Indian languages including Hindi dubbed as well. Available in Disney HotStar. My ratings 7.5/10!

Sookshmadarshini is an intriguing thriller which balances the thrills with the fun elements really well. It has everything which is missing in today's most films, i.e. The writing and the conviction in making an atmospheric thriller

Basil Joseph looks like an average Indian guy who plays a mysterious man with suspicious personality remarkably well. The casting is brilliant of the film. Nazriya plays the nosy woman who has curiosity about other people's affair is so well cast. She brings the needed characteristics to her character.

The writers of the film Athul Ramachandran and Libin TB, two writers, have deftly dissected a scenario and reconstructed it into a film narrative. The direction by MC is so cleverly done that you keep guessing till the very end and the climax becomes very unpredictable and gives a satisfactory climax.

Sookshmadarshini is an edge of the seat thriller which makes you hooked till the very end and keeps you entertained throughout its run time. Malayalam Films have always been technically brilliant and this one is no different. Its a must watch and should not be missed at all.
