Featured reviews
A must-watch thriller with a unique touch! Basil impresses with his distinct acting, and Nazriya delivers a balanced, natural performance without overacting. All the actors have performed exceptionally well, adding depth to the story. The movie stands out with its stunning green visuals, superb locations, and an unexpected twist that keeps you hooked. While the screenplay has a slight lag in pacing, it doesn't overshadow the overall experience. The direction, combined with the atmospheric setting and engaging plot, creates a captivating cinematic journey. The film's fresh storytelling and compelling performances make it a memorable watch for thriller lovers.
Sookshama Darshini, directed by MC Jithin is an enjoyable and twisty mystery with an end that you never see coming.
Stuffed with red herrings, sub-plots and many plausible explanations, this is a wonderul whodunnit that doesn't miss a beat.
With Priya, played with great aplomb by Nazariya, we finally get a fleshed-out, homegrown, female detective whose suspicious gaze no one can escape.
A special shoutout to Sidharth Bharathan for being equal parts menacing and comedic and to Basil Joseph for playing against his type.
Here's hoping there will be a sequel and we can see more of Priya Antony cracking mysteries.

The screenwriting's ability to craft and sustain suspense, particularly during pivotal moments in the script, is remarkable and shall serve as a valuable lesson for aspiring writers.
Aside from the initial thirty minutes, the story captivates with consistent developments in the plot.
Whether it's the characters getting involved in a game of cat and mouse or some significant revelations that propel the story forward, the movie tend to excel at keeping our attention in check the whole time.
Having said that, I would have preferred a darker tone. The subject matter tackled is quite sensitive and calls for a more serious approach.
While I liked the overall story, the inclusion of humorous elements, even if they lean towards the dark side, felt misplaced given the weight of the themes being addressed over here.

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.
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!
