Lockdown has been lifted except for a few exceptions, but the movie theaters are still not open.
Film lovers still need to depend entirely upon the OTT platforms for content and entertainment at the moment.
With so many options available online, what movies need to be watched at the earliest? We recommend a couple of Malayalam crime thrillers that are currently streaming online.
Anjaam Pathira
Language: Malayalam
Streaming on: SunNXT
This crime thriller directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas has an intriguing premise and has been made exceptionally well. It keeps you engaged throughout despite a lengthy runtime.
Climax portions are very impressive that we will be rooting for the killer to complete his mission.
Kunchako Boban delivers a commendable performance as a criminologist with Unnimaya Prasad and Jinu Joseph doing a credible job in supporting roles.
It is an engrossing serial killer thriller where the killer targets policemen, kills them in brutal fashion and displays their bodies in public places.
Forensic
Language: Malayalam
Streaming on: Netflix India
This movie also has a similar setup with a forensic science expert playing the lead role. A serial killer is on the loose who specifically abducts five year old girls and kills them.
Unlike other serial killer thrillers Forensic doesn’t hide the identity of the killer until pre climax or the later portions. However, the search for the actual killer will be on until the climax as there are more than two killers involved in committing the crime.
Forensic takes a bit of commercial approach compared to Anjaam Paathire. Performances don't look natural and organic, but it has an engaging plot and many twists to keep you hooked.
