Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara reunite after six years for ‘Dear Students'; Teaser promises a fun mix of comedy, action and drama
Malayalam cinema
fans have reason to rejoice —
Nivin Pauly
and
Nayanthara
are back together on screen after their 2019 hit 'Love Action Drama'.
Their new film, 'Dear Students', written and directed by George Philip Roy and Sandeep Kumar, has just dropped its first teaser, and it's already sparking excitement.
Nivin as Hari and Nayanthara in cop role
The one-minute clip hints at a story that weaves together school life, personal relationships, and plenty of action. Nivin plays Hari, a restaurateur with a flair for humour, while Nayanthara slips into the uniform of a police officer. The pairing is set to deliver a mix of light-hearted banter and high-energy sequences — a blend that worked wonders for them six years ago.

A teaser full of wit and twists
The teaser opens with Hari telling Nayanthara's character that he serves everything from spicy to mild, Mexican to Lebanese, showing off his playful charm.
When she says she wants to discuss something personal, he lights up — only for her to sarcastically invite him to sit on her lap when he flirts.
The teaser also introduces a group of schoolchildren whose connection to the main story is kept under wraps. The teaser closes with a surprise which is a character revealing that Hari and Nayanthara are police, leaving Hari utterly stunned.
Big cast, bigger expectations
'Dear Students' boasts an ensemble cast including Aju Varghese, Sharafudheen, Suresh Krishna, Mallika Sukumaran, Lal, Jagadish, Johny Antony, Nandu, Reddin Kingsley, and Shaju Sreedhar. Cinematography is by Anand C. Chandran and Shinos, music by Justin Varghese and Sibi Mathew Alex, and editing by Lal Krishna.
On the other hand, Nivin Pauly is yet to make a good comeback after a series of underwhelming movies. Nayanthara's previous outing was the thriller 'Test' which had received decent reviews from the viewers.
