Watched Tovino Thomas-Darwin Kuriakos’ collaboration Aanveshipin in theatre today. It stands out with an exceptional storyline and impeccable filmmaking. Writer Jinu V. Abraham, known for his engaging conversations with the audience through previous films, takes a backseat as Darwin’s film making steals the spotlight. Being his debut film, he has successfully completed his work without any flaws.
The film is made in such a way that the audience will not get bored even for a single moment. Every aspect, from the performances of the cast to the camera work, music, and editing, along with the art and costumes, attains a remarkable level. The color grading adds a classy feel, making it a vintage-colored tone Malayalam film, a first of its kind. May there be more experiments.
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”.
