Sookshmadarshini is an intriguing thriller which balances the thrills with the fun elements really well. It has everything which is missing in today's most films, i.e. The writing and the conviction in making an atmospheric thriller
Basil Joseph looks like an average Indian guy who plays a mysterious man with suspicious personality remarkably well. The casting is brilliant of the film. Nazriya plays the nosy woman who has curiosity about other people's affair is so well cast. She brings the needed characteristics to her character.
The writers of the film Athul Ramachandran and Libin TB, two writers, have deftly dissected a scenario and reconstructed it into a film narrative. The direction by MC is so cleverly done that you keep guessing till the very end and the climax becomes very unpredictable and gives a satisfactory climax.
Sookshmadarshini is an edge of the seat thriller which makes you hooked till the very end and keeps you entertained throughout its run time. Malayalam Films have always been technically brilliant and this one is no different. Its a must watch and should not be missed at all.

In other words ,this one taste like a Fine Wine ; like Wine it will take time to kick the effect ,then minute by minute effect will keep multiplying it!
Brilliant screenplay by Athul Ramachandran & Libin and well cooked by M C Jithin !
Nazriya Nazim done a Good job ; not her typical roles but very nicely done and different yet signature style Shining act by Basil Joseph !
Fantastic supporting roles by others ; especially Akhila Bhargavanan is Promising One for Future !
Intriguing BGM by Christo Xavierr and All other technical side match the Brilliance of the Screenplay !
Go for it and Don't be the Spoilers.

Sookshama Darshini, directed by MC Jithin is an enjoyable and twisty mystery with an end that you never see coming.
Stuffed with red herrings, sub-plots and many plausible explanations, this is a wonderul whodunnit that doesn't miss a beat.
With Priya, played with great aplomb by Nazariya, we finally get a fleshed-out, homegrown, female detective whose suspicious gaze no one can escape.
A special shoutout to Sidharth Bharathan for being equal parts menacing and comedic and to Basil Joseph for playing against his type.
Here's hoping there will be a sequel and we can see more of Priya Antony cracking mysteries.

The movie was good. A woman living with her husband and having friends in the neighborhood starts to notice something suspicious about their newly arrived neighbor. Determined to uncover the truth, she digs deeper and finds herself entangled in a mysterious situation. Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph delivered outstanding performances, bringing their characters to life with great depth and nuance. The film is filled with unexpected twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at times, the music felt somewhat cartoonish, which, in my opinion, detracted from the overall thrill and suspense of the film. Despite this, I couldn't find any other negatives. It's a nice movie with a captivating storyline and excellent acting.
The screenwriting's ability to craft and sustain suspense, particularly during pivotal moments in the script, is remarkable and shall serve as a valuable lesson for aspiring writers.
Aside from the initial thirty minutes, the story captivates with consistent developments in the plot.
Whether it's the characters getting involved in a game of cat and mouse or some significant revelations that propel the story forward, the movie tend to excel at keeping our attention in check the whole time.
Having said that, I would have preferred a darker tone. The subject matter tackled is quite sensitive and calls for a more serious approach.
While I liked the overall story, the inclusion of humorous elements, even if they lean towards the dark side, felt misplaced given the weight of the themes being addressed over here.
