Ira (Prey), directed by Saiju SS, opens on a dramatic note. A politician named Chandy (Alencier Ley Lopez) is wheeled into a hospital. A few minutes later, a doctor declares, “Minister is no more.” The news channels explode. There are allegations of corruption! There may be a Maoist hand! The Kerala police are under pressure to crack the case, because there’s a parallel investigation by a central agency. A doctor named Aryan (Gokul Suresh) is arrested, but the chief investigator (Rajiv, played by Unni Mukundan) thinks it’s someone else. Does the nearby tribal community – with a convenient love interest in the form of Karthika (Mia George) – hold the answer? What about Aryan’s lecherous boss? The premise is more nail-biting than this crude melodrama.

Phew, Malayalam cinema is human too
That made me laugh out loud.
We are like the Iranians or the French, BR – we usually keep our duds well hidden and send out only the best. So we have a reputation. I’m sorry the warts popped up. 🙂
What I want to know who the heck keeps giving Unni Mukundan film? That chap is more like a block of wood than a tree!

Malayalam cinema makes lot of bad films and I think as Dulquer said to you at MAMI only filtered content is reaching outside making it look good. This is the kind of cinema malayalam makes more often and some of them spawn some cult level reviews which are popular in malayalam film groups. I sometimes wish you watched those and reviewed them, some Gunda/Clerks level cult films are War and Love, Kalachakram etc. Even among recent ones there are many unintentional films which only pirates seem to know about, plays for a day or two at the BO and disappears into the dvds.

Minor quibble. “…at one go”, not “…at one ago”
