Vysakh directs Prithviraj Sukumaran in a high-stakes revenge thriller centered on gold smuggling operations, promising intense action scenes. The Shift: From Realism to Stylized Action
This film is described as the "Shutter Island of Malayalam cinema". It uses a literal gun as a "Chekhov’s Gun" to unravel a poignant family drama.
Set against the backdrop of the Western Ghats, the story revolves around a family of sharpshooters—the Kuzhuveli Lonappan family—who use their rifle club expertise to defend themselves against a gangster onslaught.
For hardcore action enthusiasts, this is a must-watch – easily the most firearm-authentic Malayalam film since Kammattipaadam or Joseph . For casual viewers, wait for the OTT release. Rating: 3.5/5
