🐺 Narivetta (2025) English Subtitle – A Gritty Retelling of the Muthanga Incident That Hits Hard 🎥

Narivetta, meaning Jackal Hunt, is a Malayalam-language action drama directed by Anuraj Manohar, starring Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Cheran in a power-packed narrative inspired by the real-life 2003 Muthanga tribal protest.

The story follows CPO Varghese Peter (Tovino Thomas), a sincere police constable posted in the tribal belts of Kerala. As he witnesses the exploitation and eviction of indigenous people under the veil of forest protection and development, his loyalties begin to shift. Suraj Venjaramoodu, as Head Constable Basheer, plays the conflicted senior mentor who embodies duty and silent rebellion. Cheran, in his Malayalam debut, delivers a hard-hitting performance as DIG Raghuram Keshavadas, symbolizing the uncompromising face of the state. 🎥

The film intricately explores themes of land rights, state violence, moral conflict, and tribal resistance, culminating in a tense and emotional finale that mirrors the tragic real-world incident of Muthanga, 2003.

Director Anuraj Manohar skillfully balances the emotional depth of the tribal struggle with the intensity of a socio-political thriller. Abin Joseph’s writing is sharp and layered, offering authenticity while not veering into melodrama. Jakes Bejoy’s haunting score adds urgency to the visuals captured through Vijay’s compelling cinematography.

Released on 23 May 2025, Narivetta became a commercial success with a gross of ₹29.25 crore on a ₹10 crore budget, showing that socially conscious films can strike a chord with the masses. 🎥

While the film does fictionalize some elements for cinematic impact, it stays true to the spirit of resistance and shines a light on stories often silenced. Tovino’s nuanced performance as a morally torn cop is one of his best in recent times
