This new crime thriller promises his signature suspense, but whispers are rife: is it a ‘buried’ copy of another work? We dive into whether this film, starring Joju George and Biju Menon, offers a guaranteed time-pass experience or if the controversy overshadows Jeethu’s latest offering.
Drishyam Director’s New Thriller: A Time-Pass Watch
SHOCKING: Is ‘Drishyam’ Director’s Film A Copy? Released on OTT… Guaranteed Time-Pass! Director Jeethu Joseph, who created a sensation with the ‘Drishyam’ series, has come forward with another crime thriller movie, ‘Valathu Vashathe Kallan,’ which is now streaming on OTT. Joseph gained immense popularity and set new trends in crime thrillers with the ‘Drishyam’ series, and there are currently high expectations for ‘Drishyam 3,’ which he is directing. In the meantime, this new film, starring Joju George, Biju Menon, and Niranjana Anoop in prominent roles, aims to thrill audiences with Jeethu Joseph’s signature elements.
However, ‘Valathu Vashathe Kallan’ doesn’t quite reach the calibre of Jeethu Joseph’s previous works. While it failed to impress when released in Malayalam theatres, it can be described as a good time-pass for an OTT watch, especially for crime thriller enthusiasts. This film reportedly incurred significant losses and is currently streaming on Prime Video, with only the Malayalam version available.
A key point of discussion for the film is its apparent inspiration from the Hollywood movie ‘Buried’. Despite the influence of ‘Buried’ on ‘Valathu Vashathe Kallan’, director Jeethu Joseph incorporated his unique style into the murder investigation and twists, making it a captivating crime thriller packed with suspense.
Copy Claims, Twists, and a Father’s Vengeance
The story revolves around Joju George, who plays an ethical hacker living happily with his daughter and wife. His daughter, a law student, fiercely fights against injustices in society. When a politician’s son causes a girl’s death, and Biju Menon appears as a corrupt police officer attempting to protect him, Joju George’s daughter battles against them all. Tragically, she is also murdered. The rest of the story unfolds as Joju George seeks to find his daughter’s killers and exact revenge.
The investigation scenes are thrilling and suspenseful, characteristic of Joseph’s style. Both Biju Menon and Joju George delivered competitive and outstanding performances, with Joju particularly excelling as a father driven by revenge. This movie offers good entertainment for those who enjoy crime thrillers.
Looking Ahead
Jeethu Joseph once again crafts a thrilling narrative. Menon and Joju deliver competitive, outstanding performances, Joju especially as the vengeful father. This crime thriller is solid entertainment on OTT. It certainly makes you wonder why such a gripping film took its time reaching screens. A must-watch for fans!
