Eko - A mystery thriller exploring the human animal

Rating - 4.75/5A mystery drama thriller with a finest screenplay exploring betrayal, trust, loyalty, torture, greed, resilience, revenge and survival across time.The crux of the story revolves around the life of an absconding maverick and the mystery surrounding his deeds and the isolated hilly Kattukunnu.Bahul Ramesh... You deserve a bow. What is running over your head and where you cook such incredible story plots. Exceptional story by Bahul brilliantly executed by Dinjith Ayyathan. This movie has effortlessly exceeded the writing benchmark set by Kishkindha Kaandam & KCF 2. The visual terrain used for storytelling closely binding the pristine nature and inhuman creatures elevated the movie experience. The layers ,the performance metre and the finetuned dialogues given to the characters evidently shows the preparation and time devoted in bringing this gem of a movie. Hats off to the filmmakers for exceptionally using the untouched terrain and wheather conditions precisely in keeping the eerie atmosphere and tension to highlight the wild and selfish side of man through the final chapter of the animal trilogy. All praise to Bahul Ramesh who surprises the audience with sensational contents that keep you reflect and think each time you revisit his creations.Incredible performance by Sandeep who behaved so effortlessly in the character. Poignant performances by Biana Momin & Vineeth carrying their characters over time with razor sharp potrayal. Saurabh Sachdeva has just given a kickass performance in his debut Malayalam movie as the mystery man. Sim Zhi Fei, Hung Shen, Ashokan, Narain, Saheer Mohammed, Binu Pappu & Renjith Sekhar gave impressive performances of their roles. A loud applause to the Dog handlers for their impressive performances throughout the movie.Hats off to Mujeeb Majeed and Vishnu Govind for their immense contribution in elevating the movie experience with the grooving and tension building background scores and exceptional sound design. Kudos to Bahul again for driving the audience emotions through the ecstatic visuals he has created across terrain and time as demanded in the story. Hats off to the art department for their contributions and colorist Srik Varier for evidently showing the colour palette variations across time and terrain. Big hugs to Sooraj E S for finetuning the movie into a hell of a ride emotionally burning suspense thriller. Finally a big thanks to Aaradyaa Studios for backing this unique subject.Just go by the name of one man...Bahul Ramesh delivering a one of a kind movie that must definitely be experienced in large 4K Dolby Laser Atmos screens promising a paisa vasool deal.

Eko and the Beast Within: Another banger from Malayalam Cinema!

If you've ever scrolled through the IMDB reviews for Kishkinda Kandam, my username, SAMXXXUL, might ring a bell! (Seriously, go read that review if you missed it-That film wasn't just a release; it arrived on my birthday and felt like one of those rare, perfect cinematic gifts.) That whole amazing memory was definitely hanging over me when I walked into Eko, because this is supposedly the final chapter of this "Animal Trilogy." I felt a genuine, quiet dread, especially since I'd just come off Kerala Crime Files: Season Two, which was... decent, but didn't exactly blow the doors off.If Kishkinda Kandam was a wild, feverish sprint of human impulse, Eko is its ghostlier, colder cousin. It's smarter than trying to repeat the previous film's raw energy. The soul of this film is chilling, buried deep in the misty, silent hills of Kaattukunnu. That deliberate coldness? That's where its power lies.The whole search for Kuriyacha, the fugitive dog breeder, feels less like a goal and more like a tripwire into a maze. The story unfolds like one of those old wooden puzzle boxes where different timelines click together, with strangers converging just to find one guy-and, more importantly, to find the missing parts of themselves. You have this elderly woman and her caretaker who become these quiet, unsettling keepers of a truth as fragile as a mountain echo.The Space Between the Notes: What makes this movie work isn't the dialogue; it's the sheer weight of the unsaid. Mujeeb Majeed's score is incredible, capturing that specific silence-the damp chill, the sound of a distant cry, the creak of a floorboard carrying too many secrets. Into that void, Biana Momin (as Mlaathi Chedathi) brings this quiet, intense strength, while Sandeep Pradeep (as Peeyoos) anchors the whole storm with an intensity that feels like a live wire in the passive, damp air.Lurking throughout is the dog-a sleek metaphor for the untamed instinct we all cage. This represents the trilogy's core question, sharpened here to a razor's edge: when the world falls away, what remains? The man, or the beast he keeps leashed inside?Like Kishkinda Kandam, Eko demands patience. It offers a slow burn of nuanced characters and is definitely not a quick-hit firework show. Yet its finale delivers a controlled detonation-a chilling echo of every hidden detail and unleashed instinct that came before.This is genuinely world-class filmmaking from Bahul Ramesh and Dinjith Ayyathan. They're building these rich, atmospheric worlds where morality is the first thing that gets lost in the mist. If you dig that serious, moody Scandinavian-style suspense and have been on this trilogy journey, just relax and surrender to the film's rhythm. Eko will cling to you like the cold mist itself.In closing, One viewing isn't enough-here lies the film's quiet victory. EKO doesn't end when the screen goes dark.My genuine advice: Skip the wait for OTT. Go see this on the big screen, because the moment it hits streaming, the usual gaggle of snobbish "cinephile merchants" will pop up to declare it "overrated" just to farm clicks. Go see it unspoiled, before they try to paste their lukewarm take over a genuinely amazing film.

You're either going to love the film or you're going to think it's brilliantly made film with a lot of unanswered questions.

You're either going to love the film or you're going to think it's brilliantly made film with a lot of unanswered questions. If you spend the time to look for the answers, you'll find it worth your time.--- Every now and then, you watch films that make you go "Wow, we have places that look like that in India?" This is one such film, a mystery thriller. The location and the sound design of this film are "atmospheric". You can feel the chill in the air on the mountain-top. The background score in this film is a whole character just by itself. One of the most well made films of the year and it shows.The writing......it's almost as if the makes thought "We're not going to spoon-feed the audience. We trust their intelligence to connect the dots." While one of the outcomes I predicted ended up being the climax, there were several parts of the film that made me feel dumb because there were several unanswered questions. Blink and you'll miss something that will have consequences at the end of the film. At least that's what everybody says. They say "Everything is answered in the film" but nobody online seems to actually tell you what the answer is. If they do, it's based on their own interpretation. There are films that have an open ending, and there is this film that has several questions that you'll have to answer for yourself - IF you catch the (what seem like) hints.
