The highly anticipated and distinct Malayalam cop movie, “Thalavan” (English: “The Leader”), is scheduled for an OTT release on September 10, coinciding with the Onam festival in Kerala, which is a harvest festival.
The film received high critical acclaim in theaters for its well-executed production and the actors’ performances. Directed by Jis Joy, known for his feel-good films, “Thalavan” showcases his versatility in seamlessly transitioning genres. The movie is produced by Arun Narayan Productions and Sijo Sebastian for London Studios. It is written by debutants Anand Thevarkatt and Sarath Perumbavoor. Sharan Velayudhan handled the cinematography, while Deepak Dev composed the music and background scores. Sooraj E S is responsible for the editing.
One exciting aspect of the film is the expected powerful performances from actors Biju Menon and Asif Ali, who have an impressive track record. Another is the musical composition by Deepak Dev, known for engaging the audience. Additionally, the director’s ability to craft a compelling cop story with a plot-driven narrative adds to the film’s appeal. The main challenge for the film is its plot. With numerous cop stories already released, “Thalavan” must break free from the typical narrative and offer a unique and impactful viewing experience.
Hopefully, the film will captivate and satisfy the audience, delivering a blend of surprise and fulfillment.
