Pink Villa11-07-2025
Malayalam action film Narivetta began streaming on Sony LIV from July 11 onwards. The Tovino Thomas and Suraj Venjaramoodu starrer is based on the real-life 2003 Muthanga tribal uprising, which highlighted several complexities of land rights, state police, and other political stakeholders.
As the film has finally been released on OTT, social media seems to be abuzz with reviews from netizens.
Narivetta OTT verdict
A majority of audiences have agreed that the storyline and premise of the film are a strong choice, but the execution is poorly done, affecting the quality to some extent.
The viewers have also appreciated the strong command of the screenplay, which credibly justifies the sensitivity of the real-life incident. The action sequences are well-choreographed, appealing realistically.
In terms of individual performances, Tovino Thomas and Suraj Venjaramoodu have delivered impactful stints, while the background score by Jakes Bejoy has been crucial to the movie from the start.
However, the second half of the film is perceived as being significantly slower than the first, which hampers the flow. According to some users, the screenplay noticeably decreased in quality during this phase, making it a below-average experience.
More about Narivetta
The film is directed by Anuraj Manohar and produced under the banner of Indian Cinema Company. It was declared a commercial success at the box office.
Speaking of the cast, the movie also stars Cheran, Arya Salim, Priyamvada Krishnan, Prashanth Madhavan, Nandhu, and more.

Case against producer for forging signature to get rights of films title

Kochi, Jul 29 (PTI) Police have registered a case against Malayalam film producer P A Shamnas for allegedly obtaining the title of the upcoming film 'Action Hero Biju-2' by forging actor-producer Nivin Pauly's signature. Based on a complaint from Pauly, an FIR was registered against Shamnas under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 465 (forgery) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), police sources said. In the agreement signed in 2023 by Nivin Pauly, director Abrid Shine and Shamnas for making the film 'Action Hero Biju-2,' all the rights of the film were given to Nivin Pauly's production company, Pauly Junior. Pauly said in his complaint that Shamnas acquired the rights to the name of the film from the Kerala Film Chamber by hiding the agreement. For this, a document with Nivin Pauly's forged signature was presented. When these matters came to light during the police investigation, the Palarivattom police had registered a case against Shamnas. The police had earlier registered a case against Nivin Pauly on a complaint filed by Shamnas, who claimed that he owned the rights to the film and that Pauly Junior Company had given the overseas rights to another company without his knowledge. The complaint states that Shamnas conspired to humiliate Nivin Pauly in public and get his way by threatening him while the dispute over the contract was still pending. The upcoming movie's first part, "Action Hero Biju" (2016), starring Nivin Pauly and directed by Abrid Shine was a mega hit in Malayalam.
