Plot
Overview
and
Crew
Information
Kalamkaval
is
set
in
early-2000s
Kerala
and
follows
the
investigation
led
by
police
officer
Jayakrishnan.
He
is
assigned
to
look
into
a
communal
conflict
in
the
southern
region
of
the
state.
What
initially
appears
to
be
a
routine
inquiry
gradually
evolves
into
a
deeper
probe
involving
the
unexplained
disappearance
of
several
young
women
over
a
period
of
time.
As
the
investigation
expands
across
multiple
locations,
records,
and
testimonies,
the
narrative
links
the
local
clash
to
a
much
wider
and
unsettling
chain
of
events.
The
story
focuses
on
the
procedural
aspects
of
the
case
and
the
hidden
connections
that
emerge
during
the
inquiry.
Along
with
Mammootty
in
the
lead
role,
the
film
features
Vinayakan
in
a
prominent
role,
with
supporting
performances
by
Gibin
Gopinath,
Gayatri
Arun,
Rajisha
Vijayan,
and
Shruti
Ramachandran.
The
film
is
produced
by
Mammootty
Kampany.
Jithin
K.
Jose
has
not
only
directed
the
film
but
also
co-written
the
screenplay
along
with
Jishnu
Sreekumar.
The
technical
team
includes
Faisal
Ali
as
the
director
of
photography,
Mujeeb
Majeed
as
the
music
composer,
and
Praveen
Prabhakar
as
the
editor.
Production
design
was
handled
by
Shajie
Naduvil,
while
the
final
sound
mix
was
done
by
MR
Rajakrishnan.
The
film’s
action
sequences
were
choreographed
by
Action
Santhosh,
with
visual
effects
supervised
by
S.
Santhosh
Raju.
With
its
first
weekend
behind
it
and
weekday
trends
now
in
focus,
Kalamkaval’s
box
office
trajectory
over
the
next
few
days
is
expected
to
provide
a
clearer
picture
of
its
overall
theatrical
performance.
