Puzhu

Kuttan, a Brahmin widower and senior IPS officer, resides in a lavish apartment with his son Kichu. Kichu, who wants his father dead, is suppressed by his authoritarian and overprotective demeanor. Kuttan grows anxious and suspicious of everyone around him as he starts to believe that someone is planning his murder. When his younger sister Bharati (Parvathy Thiruvothu) and her husband Kuttappan, a theater artist from a caste that is repressed, move into a nearby apartment, his worry increases. Bharati's elopement with Kuttappan, which Kuttan regards with disdain, has caused tension in their relationship. He gradually loses his sanity as a result of his hatred and bigotry, which cause him to lose control of his anger.
Bromance

In the movie, Binto (played by Matthew Thomas) teams up with his brother's pals to look for his missing brother. A trip full of surprising turns and life-changing experiences develops from what starts off as an attempt to reconstruct a night gone bad.
Ouseppinte Osiyathu

Ouseppinte Osiyathu is a very nuanced debut that carefully examines the delicate bonds that link families, particularly the emotional relationships between fathers and sons and the pressure that older siblings frequently bear to raise their younger siblings. Childhood trauma subtly permeates the movie, influencing choices and identities. The narrative illustrates how love isn't always sufficient to keep people together when catastrophe hits.
