Unmadham Review: Uneven Writing Undermines Psychological Thriller
Unmadham is a Malayalam movie that mixes scary moments with a story about a police officer who writes a script about a ghost case.
The film tries to show how actors and writers can get so into their roles that it affects their real lives.
The director, Kiran Das, uses good camera work and music to make the film feel real.
But the story is uneven, with some parts feeling rushed or too similar to older movies.
The actors, especially Kunchacko Boban, do a decent job, but the overall movie gets a 3‑star rating because the writing isn’t strong enough to keep everyone hooked.
Unmadham is a Malayalam psychological thriller directed by Kiran Das.
The film explores the concept of ‘method writing’ and its psychological effects.
Lead actors Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose deliver serviceable performances.
The screenplay is criticized for uneven pacing, rushed reveals, and dated tropes.
Technical aspects such as cinematography and music by Mujeeb Majeed are praised.
