Ore Mukham Malayalam Movie
You are on a campus of the 80s where unruly Zacharia Pothen and his friends dominate invincibly by all means. As usual, you witness raggings, 'canteen humour' and perfunctory love affairs. Later we come to know about Zacharia Pothen (Dhyan Sreenivasan) as a killer in the estate double murder case.
A fugitive now, he is also linked to the current murders of his friend Aravind and a woman. A police officer and a journo probe these cases to unravel the mystery about Pothen. Who is Pothen and why he killed these people? Well, the scope for a thriller is on cards.
In his independent movie after his forgettable debut in "Cash" (co-directed with Sujith, of "Oru Korean Padam" fame) director Sajith Jagadnandan shows glimpses of craft.

Interestingly, the roles of teenage characters change once they become adult, and this attempt seems to be incongruous in some parts.
The
A mentee of Shaji Kailas, Sajith falters in providing a gripping narration albeit viewers become curious about the character Pothen. The lethargy in delineating events and want of conviction are vivid throughout the film.
However, a sense of reluctance lingers after watching "Ore Mukham", thanks to its incoherent treatment and scattered details.
