Naalaam Mura release date: When and where to watch Biju Menon, Guru Somasundaram’s suspense drama

Director Deepu Anthikad’s comeback film, a decade since Jayaram’s Lucky Star, is all set to hit theatres during the Christmas season. The movie titled Naalaam Mura has Biju Menon and Guru Somasundaram in the lead roles along with a bunch of stellar cast including Divya Pillai and Alencier Ley Lopez in pivotal roles.

In an earlier interview with OTTPlay, Deepu had told us that Biju essays the role of a cop in the movie, which will be a suspense drama. Guru essays the other central character, who will have equal screen prominence and space as Biju in the film, he had remarked.

“There are plot devices in place so that the viewers can’t really figure out who is the hero and who is the villain in this till the end,” said Deepu, who had co-scripted the moviw with Sooraj V Dev. The movie will also have several emotional elements that he said he hopes will make the audience relate better with both the characters and their intentions as the plot progresses.

Though it’s a dual hero film, Deepu had clarified that the cat-and-mouse game in the film is more cerebral in nature. Biju’s character of a crime branch officer isn’t shown as a brilliant man but someone who uses the clues at hand to solve the case.

Incidentally, Naalaam Mura is also based on true incidents. The film’s co-scriptwriter Sooraj, who had worked as part of several crime branch cases, was able to bring in an authentic approach of how cops about solving the cases, said the filmmaker.

The movie, which is set to hit theatres on December 23, was shot in locations such as Kuttikanam and Peermade earlier this year. It also has Surabhi Santosh, Sheelu Abraham and Prashanth Alexander in pivotal roles.

Meanwhile, Biju Menon, who was last seen in Oru Thekkan Thallu Case that is streaming on Netflix, is next awaiting the release of Thankam, which has him sharing screen space with Vineeth Sreenivasan.
