Anweshippin Kandethum

Set in late 1980 - 1990 period ,story of police investigation of two extreme crimes !

Splendid casting and great production works is the highlight and sharp writing by #JinuAbraham and good direction by Darwin Kuriakose !

Exquisite cinematography and editing is super impressive ! And BGM is exciting! And artwork , costumes deserved appreciation!

Don't be the spoiler of the story,the plot twists and unexpected moments need to be witnessed without spoilers!

Performances led by tovino thomas and all cast acting is solid and impactful!

This one surely needed to be experienced from big screen !

Highly recommended!

A nice investigation film where they decided to not follow a lot of narrative cliches and tropes seen in this type of Malayalam film but follow that of the English episodic investigation series' like CSI. But they also made sure that it is very rooted and realistic with the 90s production design on point without making the audience pay too much attention to that. Technically this is very well made in all the departments. The choice of making it two cases for the two halves was a brave one but it seemed to have also worked. But the way so many recent films have been using this same kind of theme for crime is getting irritating for me. That's where the Ozler movie kind of subverted expectations at a certain point and made me glad even if it didn't really do anything great. Here, a lot of choices about character motivations, their hurdles and the image they were creating for them was very much like how something like CSI would do but without actually copying anything from there. That in itself had its positives and negatives but that was also kind of irritating for me at certain points. But among recent police movies where a team of them investigates this was pretty good and better than something like Kannur Squad.

Tovino. Cop drama. Crime Thriller. Been waiting to watch this one for a while.

There a few ways to look at this film - people who don't usually watch crime drama might watch it and have their minds blown. People who who do watch a lot of crime drama are likely going to enjoy it, or be let down.

Before that, Tovino was great in the film. Music - surprisingly, Santosh Narayanan - nothing great to write home about, it was good. We've gotten better stuff from him. Cinematography - the film had me go "Wow, that's a good shot!" at several instances.

The writing - depending on what category you belong to from ^ you're likely going to (really) enjoy it or feel a little let down. Enjoy because you're likely going get a 'double treat' or feel let down, because you signed up for only one film but ended up getting two kinda disjointed films, with a long runtime.

I unfortunately fall into the latter category and think this could have much so much shorter and so much better, but it's a decent one-time watch nevertheless.

The film ' Anweshippin Kandethum ' directed by the debutant Darwin Kuriakose starring Tovino Thomas is an engaging and gripping investigation thriller film. The film doesn't have much commercial elements or any unnecessary sub plots , it's just straight investigation and keeps the story moving forward. I loved how they set up the first half story and then an even better second half story which was thrilling to say the least. The film had great performances from the cast and Tovino shined in this film. The background score by Santosh Narayanan was brillaint , perfectly creating that mystical vibe. I loved the second half more and the climax was really good. Also the cinematography was top aswell. The film is good and is entertaining till the end. Good watch.

The script does have substance to offer. There have been so many police investigation movies made that it is a challenge to bring in something new and convincing. This movie has been able to do that. I did not anticipate some of the twists in the plots.

An even keel pacing, not overly dramatic. An easy watch. I watched it at home. Was on the hook through the movie. I could have paused and attempted breakfast but I did not want to break the flow of the movie. And the movie had not been designed to sensationalize. The core is strong enough to keep you hooked.

Tovino has done good work. It is an interesting script selection.

There are two separate plots in the movie. And both plots have worked. Good writing and execution.

I would not classify it as a must watch. It is a pretty good watch though.
