Nayattu is yet another addition to the growing list of Malayalam films where the script is the hero. It is a thriller but not the edge of the seat variety but more of a slow burn, engaging type. Nayattu which means “the hunt” in Malayalam is of course about a hunt but, with a role... Continue Reading →
