Sookshmadarshini Review: Nazriya’s Rear Window

Nazriya is famously selective when it comes to choosing films. She has mentioned multiple times that she prefers quality over quantity. So, when a new film comes from someone like her—especially two years after a masterpiece like Ante Sundaraniki—expectations are naturally sky-high.

Although I’ve stopped jumping on the hype train for Malayalam cinema (thanks to Gold), the intriguing plot of Sookshmadarshini lured me into theaters regardless of its potential quality. A couple of positive reviews only sweetened the deal.

The film is packed with surprises—not the cheap cameos everyone’s resorting to for extra bucks these days, but genuine twists in the screenplay. The performances? Absolute bangers.
