Kaathal - The Core

Helmed by The Great Indian Kitchen director Jeo Baby, this family relationship drama, much like the filmmaker’s much-celebrated previous film, is an important addition to his filmography. Starring Mammootty and Jyothika, the movie revolves around what happens when George’s wife Omana decides to file for divorce to end their 20-year-old marriage, just when he has decided to contest elections, and the impact the rumours of his sexuality have on society’s perception of him.

Chaaver

Release platform: Sony LIV

A gang of men is on the run after a political murder, but what happens when the ones they believe abandon them and they have to confront more violence from the rivalry they helped ignite? Kunchacko Boban, Arjun Ashokan, Manoj KU and Antony Varghese star in this Tinu Pappachan directorial, which is a political action-drama written by Joy Mathew. The film explores how the foot soldiers in the larger political game often fall prey to their superior’s gain.
