This week, the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Pennum Porattum is scheduled to open in theatres. Here is everything you should know about this Rajesh Madhavan movie before its Friday theatrical premiere.
Recently, the movie's release date was moved to February 13. On the same day, Mathew Thomas' romance comedy Sukhamano Sukhamann will debut on the big screen.
The main problem seems to be a young man telling a woman he likes about his secret thoughts, which becomes well-known in the town and a topic of conversation. Along with Suttu, the dalmatian dog that is connected to the story, the woman Charulatha and her lover are at the center of this chaos. As the tension for a battle increases, deadly weapons are drawn and chaotic scenes are created as the villagers choose sides. Actor Tovino Thomas's voiceover at the end of the teaser states that people can flee from a situation since the world is so vast.
With this film, which primarily stars new actors, Rajesh Madhavan makes his directorial debut. Pennum Porattum's screenplay and dialogues are penned by Ravishankar. Chaman Chacko is in charge of editing, and Sabin Uralikandi is the cinematographer for Pennum Porattum. The music has been created by Dawn Vincent.
A village's hidden violence erupts in startling ways when a young woman and her pet dog are the focus of public outrage. What follows is a frantic exploration of moral policing, mob justice, and the perilous joy people derive from retribution.
Details regarding the movie's online streaming rights are still pending to be unveiled. However, Pennum Porattum will most likely be accessible online in March after its theatrical run.
