Despite receiving praise for its intense narrative and gripping performances, the film struggled to secure an OTT release until now, which has led to considerable excitement among viewers.
Directed by Jijo Antony, Adithattu follows the lives of seven fishermen whose peaceful existence is shattered when their former captain is mysteriously murdered at sea. What ensues is a tale of betrayal, suspense, and survival, as the crew grapples with the unraveling mystery while navigating the treacherous waters of both the sea and human emotions. The film explores themes of camaraderie, guilt, and justice in a tense, fast-paced setting.
The ensemble cast includes Sunny Wayne as Marcos, Shine Tom Chacko as Ambross, Alexander Prasanth as Srank Raayan, and Murugan Martin as Nelson, each delivering compelling performances that drive the film's emotional weight. The screenplay, written by Khais Millen, creates a tight narrative, while the music composed by Nezer Ahamed and Sreehari K. Nair complements the film’s dark, atmospheric tone. Pappinu’s cinematography and Noufal Abdullah’s editing work together to enhance the film's tension, with Phoenix Prabu choreographing intense action sequences that add an extra layer of suspense.
Adithattu was produced by Jijo Antony, Susan Joseph, and Sin Treesa under the banner of Kanayil Films and Middle March Studios. The film received recognition at the 53rd Kerala State Film Awards, winning the Second Best Film award in 2023. It was also nominated for Best Experimental Film at the 2022 WSXA Amnesty International Film Awards and the San Antonio Independent Film Festival (Ecuador), further solidifying its place in the international film circuit.
With its gripping storyline and strong performances, Adithattu is poised to reach a wider audience through its OTT release, and it’s undoubtedly one to watch for fans of intense, character-driven thrillers.
