'Njan Kandhatha Sare': A thriller that balances suspense and humour | Movie Review

What happens when you accidentally witness a crime under unforeseen circumstances? And what if your decision to confess only leads to even greater chaos? This intriguing premise forms the backbone of 'Njan Kandhatha Sare', featuring Indrajith Sukumaran in the lead role and directed by Varun G. Panicker.

The story revolves around Jokuttan (Indrajith), a taxi driver who lives with his sister. His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes a witness to a murder, pulling him into a web of complications. As the plot thickens, Jokuttan finds himself entangled in the murder investigation, leaving the audience eager to uncover his exact role in the unfolding events.

One of the film's standout aspects is its ability to dive straight into the narrative without unnecessary distractions. The plot maintains a sense of freshness and keeps the suspense alive right up until the very end, making it an engaging watch for thriller enthusiasts.

Indrajith delivers a convincing performance as Jokuttan, playing a timid and shy character with authenticity. Baiju Santhosh shines as Patrick, Jokuttan’s quirky and humorous friend who never fails to have his back.

In a refreshing departure from his usual roles, Baiju sports a trendy look that adds a unique flair to his character. His comedic timing and light-hearted presence bring an essential dose of humour to the film, balancing its more intense moments.

When it comes to the investigation and thriller elements, the film successfully sparks curiosity and keeps viewers engaged in unravelling the mystery. However, towards the final act, it seems to lose some clarity, leaving certain aspects feeling slightly undefined.

The film's strong point lies in the seamless blend of its technical elements. Both the cinematography and the background score are exceptional, adding to the overall impact. With a crisp runtime of under two hours, the film keeps the audience engaged by skillfully balancing humour with its underlying thriller vibe.
