As a cinephile, I was eagerly anticipating Anweshippin Kandethum, intrigued by its promise to delve into two major crimes that shook Kerala. Directed by Darwin Kuriakose and penned by Jinu Abraham, the film boasts a stellar cast featuring Tovino Thomas, Siddique, and Arthana Binu.
The movie unfolds as a dual narrative, exploring the intricacies of the crimes and the subsequent investigation by the Special Operations Police (SOP). While the concept seemed promising, I found the overall execution to be overhyped, leaving me somewhat underwhelmed.
The first story, though gripping, fails to present a groundbreaking plot. The inability to apprehend the killer with concrete evidence adds an air of frustration. However, Tovino Thomas's performance shines through, showcasing his acting prowess and elevating the film. The supporting actors also contribute commendably to the narrative.
On the flip side, the second story introduces a unique twist where the protagonist takes matters into his own hands, delivering a form of self-punishment. This narrative choice adds an interesting layer to the movie, but the overall impact falls short of creating a truly memorable cinematic experience.
One aspect that undeniably stands out is the excellent cinematography, capturing the essence of the narrative with striking visuals and attention to detail. The film's aesthetic appeal is a commendable aspect that adds to its overall cinematic quality.
In conclusion, Anweshippin Kandethum may not live up to the heightened expectations, but Tovino Thomas's stellar performance and the commendable supporting cast, coupled with impressive cinematography, salvage the viewing experience. While it may not be a cinematic masterpiece, the film is still worth a watch, earning a modest rating of 6 out of 10 in my book.
