Eko Malayalam Movie
In the misty hills of Kaattukunnu, Mlaathi Chedathi and Peeyoos struggle to survive unforeseen challenges as the chronicles of Kuriyachan, a multifaceted businessman and outlaw, blur the line between myth, longing, and reckoning, revealing that he forever rules the hills.
Eko has received a mixed but intriguing critical reception, with opinions ranging from lukewarm to highly appreciative. Several critics felt the film’s forest atmosphere, haunting visuals, and early mystery elements were engaging, but the storytelling becomes too cryptic as it progresses, leaving many questions unresolved and the climax feeling formulaic. This made the film emotionally distant for some viewers. On the other hand, many reviewers praised Eko as a richly crafted mystery thriller, appreciating its immersive tone, striking cinematography, and the unique thematic focus on the human–animal bond. For these critics, the screenplay and mood-building stood out, making the experience deeply satisfying and memorable. Overall, Eko is admired for its craft and thematic ambition but criticized for narrative opacity, making it a film that resonates strongly with some while leaving others wanting more clarity.
Verdict:
Eko is an atmospheric and visually compelling mystery thriller elevated by its thematic depth and forest-set mood, but its overly cryptic narrative divides opinion. A rewarding watch for those who enjoy slow-burn, mood-driven mysteries; less so for viewers seeking clear, tightly structured storytelling.
