Anweshippin Kandethum OTT Release: Did This Real Crime Case Help Make The Malayalam Film?
In a super exciting comeback to movies, Tovino Thomas is the main star in the new detective Malayalam movie, 'Anweshippin Kandethum.'
People are loving it because the story is based on real things that happened.
The movie came out on February 9, 2024, in theaters. People are still chatting about it, and soon it is going to be released on Netflix.
Inspiration From Real-Life Crime Story
But what makes this movie great? Well, it is because the Malayam movie is inspired by a real crime case.?
Tovino Thomas, who plays a serious police officer in the film, explained in a recent interview that it's different from his past roles.
He said that Anweshippin Kandethum and its main character are totally different. Even though it's based on a real crime, the story is made to keep you on the edge of your seat and be suspenseful all the way.
He explained that the story takes us back to 1993, when there weren't many cameras or mobile phones like we have today. The scriptwriter, Jinu V. Abraham, said it was tricky to write because, in the 1990s, solving crimes depended a lot on guessing and evidence. Nowadays, with advanced forensic science, things are different.
He added, a cool part of making the movie was when a real police officer talked to the writer about a missing person case from 2018, called the Jesna case. Even though it didn't directly help with the movie, it made the writer more sure about the story.
The Jesna Missing Case
Jesna Maria James, a 20-year-old student from Kerala, went missing in 2018 after leaving for her aunt's house. Despite investigations by Kerala police, the Crime Branch, and later the CBI, her whereabouts remain unknown. The CBI concluded its inquiry, citing a lack of evidence, making Jesna's case one of the state's unsolved mysteries. Jesna had sent messages expressing concerns about her life to a friend before disappearing, but no substantial leads were found. The case closed after the CBI submitted a report to the court, stating the investigation had hit a dead end.
When you tune in to the movie on March 8, following its release on Netflix, brace yourself for a thrilling journey inspired by real-life events. Tovino Thomas's excellent performance, Darwin Kuriakose's direction, and Jinu V. Abraham's storytelling create a captivating blend of cinema and real-life experiences in Anweshippin Kandethum.
