Description: Krishnankutty Pani Thudangi, directed by Sooraj Tom, is a Gothic drama filled with mystery and suspense. The film features Saniya Iyyappan and Vishnu Unnikrishnan in lead roles and revolves around a story set in a sprawling estate. The plot unfolds over a single night, as Unnikannan, a home nurse played by Vishnu Unnikrishnan, arrives at a mansion to care for the bedridden patriarch. Despite attempts by Beatrice, portrayed by Saniya Iyyappan, to send him away, Unnikannan stays and soon realizes his decision may have been a mistake.
The movie delves into the eerie experiences Unnikannan faces in the supposedly haunted house. As the night progresses, the mystery surrounding the mansion and its inhabitants deepens, keeping the audience engaged. The first half of the film excels as a horror thriller, but it loses some momentum when the story transitions into a revenge drama.
The film’s subtext, which explores the background of the titular character Krishnankutty, adds depth to the narrative. Its folk setting and Kathakali theme enhance the haunting atmosphere. Both Saniya Iyyappan and Vishnu Unnikrishnan deliver strong performances, showcasing their talent throughout the film.
