Sookshmadarshini, directed by M.C. Jithin, is a gripping Malayalam-language black comedy mystery thriller that explores the complexities of human relationships and the secrets lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful community.

Plot Overview

The film follows Manuel (Basil Joseph), who moves into a close-knit neighborhood with his ailing mother, Gracy (Manohari Joy). Despite his outwardly courteous demeanor, neighbor Priyadarshini, known as Priya (Nazriya Nazim), grows suspicious of him. When Gracy mysteriously disappears multiple times, Priya, driven by concern and curiosity, enlists local women to investigate Manuel’s actions, unearthing hidden truths that lead to a series of unexpected events.

Highlights
The film excels in building suspense, with the first half leaving the audience guessing about the characters’ true intentions. Just when the narrative risks slowing down, a fresh twist revives the plot, leading to a satisfying climax. The screenplay, penned by Libin T.B. and Athul Ramachandran, cleverly transforms a seemingly simple situation into a complex story, exploring themes of perception and acceptance.

Box Office Performance
Sookshmadarshini has done exceptionally well at the box office, grossing over ₹55 crore worldwide. It has emerged as one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of 2024, reflecting its popularity and strong reception among audiences.
