Why watch Sangarsha Ghadana on OTT

Krishand’s unique filmmaking

The first reason why any cinephile would be interested in this 2025 Malayalam movie, is its director Krishand, who has crafted some of the most intriguing films in the recent past. Whether it is Darshana Rajendan’s Purusha Pretham or the Award-winning Aavasavyuham, Krishand was able to dabble in different genres and give us distinct films that are entertaining and engaging. Sangarsha Ghadana promises to be no different, with signature Krishand style.

Gangster drama plot but…

Director Krishand has also written the film, which revolves around a ‘retired’ crime boss, Kodamazha Suni, whose old gang suddenly takes a hit. The film then goes through his past deeds as it tries to find who the unidentified assailant is and why the attack now. Even while depicting what is a gangster drama, Sangharsha Ghadana also reflects on violence and vengeance, prodding the viewers too go on a thought-provoking quest. Sun Tzu's Chinese military book Art of War forms the inspiration for the 2025 Malayalam film.

Quirky dark humour

Krishand believes that humour is the best tool to narrate a tale, even when it revolves around bloodshed and gang violence. With oddball gangsters and cops, we get a dark yet quirky humour which aides in the storytelling and keeps the viewers invested as the movie takes a non-linear style to narrate the story.

Stellar cast

Actor Vishnu Agasthya leads the film along with other noted talents such as Zhinz Shan, Rahul Rajagopal, Mrudula Murali, and Manoj Kana. They truly sink into their roles, bringing out nuances in characters that you seldom see on screen. Vishnu Agasthya and Rahul Rajagopal have all been familiar faces on Krishand’s cast, which the filmmaker says makes for a great team. Prayag Mukundan’s crisp cinematography and Rajesh Naroth’s moody music too add to the cinematic experience of Sangarsha Ghadana.
