Makers of upcoming malayalam language action comedy ‘Thallumaala‘ (transl: Chain of Fights) released the official trailer today. From the looks of it, the film has everything in it to be a box office sensation. Not only is the trailer in itself super entertaining, the film also promises to be a total package. Thallumaala releases on August 12th, 2022.
Thallumaala has music, comedy, action, romance and most importantly is written by one of the most talented current generation writers in Malayalam cinema – Muhsin Parari ( Halal Love Story, Virus, Sudani From Nigeria). After a string of commercial misfires like Naaradan, Vaashi and Dear Friend, Tovino Thomas seems to be finally back in his element in Thallumaala. Not only is he playing a charming and quirky character, his face-offs with Shine Tom Chacko (one of the most multi-faceted actors of his generation) seems to be the highlight of the film. Tovino has a good knack at comedy himself and he also shares great chemistry with Kalyani Priyadarshan in the trailer.
The actor hasn’t had a unanimously loved film since Basil Joseph’s Minnal Murali (2021). In that sense, Thallumaala has so much going on for it especially considering the phase the actor is in currently. Thallumaala ideally should have been a follow-up release to Minnal Murali since the vibes of both films atleast for the most part appear to match. Thallumaala is also a very important film for its director Khalid Rahman. As his last release Love (2020) didn’t do really well. After two very much critically acclaimed and commercially appreciated outings in Anuraga Karikkin Vellam (2016) and Unda (2019), Thallumaala is a make or break film for the director.
There’s so much riding on top of this film. Be it for its lead actor, director or writer. If the trailer is any indication to go by, this August release is going to be a colourful film with so many interesting action blocks and rib-chuckling laughs.
