Kalamkaval

"Kalamkaval, like any good work of art, suggests more than it shows. The film espouses the thin line between civility and barbarism with little to no show of violence, with Mammootty delivering a subtle, creepy performance as a cold-blooded killer that underscores how evil is almost second nature to the man."

"Amid all the shortcomings, it's Mammootty's courage to take on such a devilish character and his sharp performance that keep viewers engaged with the crime thriller. Despite a strong story, Kalamkaval disappoints by failing to keep viewers glued to the screen, suffering from being too dialogue-oriented throughout."
