Anweshipin kandethum is a must watch film. Those who like slow burn thrillers will definitely enjoy this movie. Even those who don’t will like it. Because this film is rich in contrast. Look at that color tone itself, it’s extraordinary on an artistic level. And since it is a periodical drama, it has done hundred percent justice to the period.
As far as the making is concerned, the film is a cinematic experience that sticks to the genre of the film from the very first frame without deviating from anything else. Santhosh Narayanan’s music and Dee’s song along with it pulls the audience into the film. The tone and mode of the film can be caught in the titling piece itself, which sets the audience in the mood of a thriller.
By the time the film was released, Santhosh Narayanan, a musician, had become a topic of discussion here. Santhosh Narayanan has undoubtedly given what the film demands. Instead of using music to consciously elevate each scene in the film, the film’s music goes with the characters and the storyline. The background music provided by him was a departure from the usual patterns of detective films.
Also, the film is made in such a way that the audience will not get bored even for a single moment. The performances of each actor, camera, music, editing, art and costumes are very excellent. How beautifully the eighties and nineties are recreated. That color grading is cool and gives a classic feel. This is the first time to see a Malayalam movie in vintage color tone. May there be more experiments in our industry.
The film captures the essence of the 90s, a time without mobile phones, relying on radio and newspapers for news. With limited television access in just a couple of homes, the two murders that occurred during that period are effectively presented to the audience. The film also delves into the styles of vehicles and fashion of that time, encapsulating nature and providing a nostalgic experience.
Under the banner of theatre of dreams, Dolvin Kuriakose, Jinu V Abraham, Vikram Mehra and Siddharth Anand Kumar produced the movie Anveshippin Kandethum. The film stands as a testament to the team’s dedication and creativity, especially after the remarkable success of Prithviraj’s “Kappa”.
