Aparna Balamurali starrer Ini Utharam Malayalam Movie Review & Rating: The answer follows the same path that Malayalam thriller films have been following for quite some time, starting with a horrific crime that takes place in the freezing cold of a hill station, and a journey to investigate the mystery behind it. The movie follows warp patterns in terms of location and story lines like Poopara, the bus coming down the hill, the police station in an empty place. Generally crime thrillers and investigation films in Malayalam create a monotony with a certain type of dialogue style and background music. Now the answer is yes and the story is told through the usual methods.

Directed by debutant Sudheesh Ramachandran, Ini Aatwab is a film that hit the theaters after winning the National Award and starring Aparna Balamurali in the lead role. Aparna’s presence was the main highlight of the movie and all the commercials. Aparna handled her role very well in the beginning and end. But surprisingly, their screen time was very less. Shajon and Harish Uttam are in the main roles from the beginning to the end in the story that goes on through them. Even though the shadows of the characters who have come and gone in many films over the years are reflected, the performance of the main stars is the factor that saves the film unscathed at least in some places.

Coming to the plot of the movie, Janaki, an ortho surgeon at a famous hospital in Ernakulam, arrives at the police station in an empty village called Pooppara in Idukki, calls out that he has committed a murder in the station’s premises, the confusion it causes and the strange answers that the revelation brings later. This storyline, fresh and exciting when told in one line, creates confusion when it comes to the big frame of a movie. Often the film goes against the logic of the audience. The film was rich in moments of emotional tension rather than thrilling moments. Siddique, Jafar Idukki and many other stars come and go in the film at crucial moments. But there are few well-defined characters in the film.

The tagline of the film is that for every answer there is a question. The movie relies on that advertising text in the first part. The film goes into the questions behind the obvious answers. From the murder, the buried corpse, the digging of pits to the pottery of Shajon there is an obvious ‘visual’ influence. Finding the question behind the answer, which Malayalam cinema had abandoned in the interim, is reviving after the huge success of Drishyam. Now the North also proceeded on the same path. But the film loses its logical coherence.

In Malayalam cinema, politicians and ministers appear in the same mold as news. The Ranji Panicker – Shaji Kailas team’s political drama villains are still the reference when popular cinema makes such characters. Even when times and political leaders have changed drastically, Malayalam cinema has often repeated itself, from dress code to dialogues. The boredom of that repetition can now be seen in the answer. I don’t know how true the politician who keeps killing everyone who comes against his power, the policeman who is his guard, the tug of war, but the home minister who kills everyone in Malayalam movies is a big cliché. Similar police roles coming after the scene are likely to challenge Shajon’s career as well.

The answer is a film that follows the characteristics of thriller films and thriller popular fiction that are coming out now in terms of technique, character development, storyline, dialogues, camera and background music without any differences. Nowhere did the film seem to impart a new experience to the viewers of such films. Now the answer is a film that can only be enjoyed by those who enjoy crime films without expecting any such innovations.
