The Malayalam movie industry in 2024 found itself at a critical juncture, grappling with a series of controversies and scandals that have cast a shadow over its reputation. This year marked a watershed moment in the ongoing battle against sexual harassment and discrimination, with the long-awaited release of the Hema Committee report. Although delayed by over four years and heavily redacted, the report has sparked a powerful wave of discussions and scrutiny within the industry.

Additionally, the year has witnessed intense debates over the portrayal of Malayali culture in cinema, particularly the depiction of disorderly conduct of Malayalis in public spaces, and the needlessly graphic, often gratuitous, on-screen depiction of sexual violence and the objectification of women. At the heart of these controversies are concerns about the underrepresentation of women in the industry, with many highlighting the prevalence of ‘invisible women’—typecast characters who lack depth or agency.

Starring Tovino Thomas, the story explores the deeply intertwined past and present of Ajayan, a man burdened not only by the weight of his low caste but also by the heavy history of his family. Taunted relentlessly by the villagers, Ajayan endures insults that blend his caste and heritage, shaming him with the shadow of his grandfather—a once-legendary thief. As he navigates his struggles, the question arises: can Ajayan escape his fate, or will he remain silent in the face of relentless challenges?

Talking about the same, the movie is speculated to be one of the most expensive movies in Sandalwood and is said to be on a budget of almost 100 crore. However, the movie seems to be struggling to make even 20 crore at the box office.

On its fifth day, the Dhruva Sarja film earned 1.05 crore at the box office. This was an even further drop from its four-day collections, during which the movie earned 1.40 crore. The India net collection of the movie now comes to 17.45 crore. Given the extravagant scale of the movie, these numbers are pretty disappointing.

Swara Bhasker recently expressed her deep concern and solidarity after reading the findings of the Hema Committee Report, which exposed widespread harassment and exploitation of women in the Malayalam film industry. The actor took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt note, where she highlighted the distressing familiarity of the report’s revelations, calling them “heartbreaking because it is familiar.” She acknowledged the male-centric and patriarchal nature of showbiz, which she believes normalizes predatory behavior and silences victims.

Swara lauded the brave efforts of the Women In Cinema Collective (Wcc) for their relentless fight against sexual harassment and violence in the industry. She praised their courage in demanding the establishment of an expert committee to examine the working conditions of women and offer solutions. Swara’s note emphasized how the industry often rewards silence and labels those who speak out as “trouble-makers,” thus perpetuating a toxic environment where power dynamics favor the perpetrators.

The Malayalam film industry has been having a splendid 2024 on the big screen so far. They started things off with Aattam, which showed that 12 Angry Men can be remade in the 21st century, and it’ll still be relevant. Abraham Ozler wasn’t a critical success, but it did quite well at the box office. Meanwhile, Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Malaikottai Vaaliban didn’t make a dent at the box office, but personally speaking, it was nothing short of a visual masterpiece. Anweshippin Kandethum, featuring Tovino Thomas, was a massive success, given its budget. Then there was the Barbenheimer of the Year, Premalu and Bramayugam, which impressed critics and brought in the big bucks.

Ranveer Singh in and as Shaktimaan. That’s it, that is the news for the day. Last year, the superstar received a lot of love and admiration for his portrayal of Rocky Randhawa in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. He was said to be the long-lost sibling of Poo from K3G, and the audiences loved his vibe in the film.

Anweshippin Kandethum Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

What’s Good: The film adeptly sustains suspense, captivating audiences from start to finish. It diverges from investigative thriller conventions by not introducing a family for Tovino, instead focusing solely on the investigation without unnecessary diversions, thereby enhancing its appeal.

What’s Bad: Specific viewers may find a lack of emotional connection to the investigating officer, a characteristic often present in films of this genre. Tovino Thomas’s character, however, lacks any personal connections such as a girlfriend, wife, or children.

Loo Break: Given the intricacies of the plot, it’s not advisable to take breaks as they may lead to missing vital information.

Watch or Not?: “Anweshippin Kandethum” is a compelling choice for enthusiasts of investigative thrillers, offering engaging narratives,...
