Came across this Malayalam movie Eko on Netflix, and just thought of checking it out . It turned out to be pleasantly surprising , very different movie. I dont remember when was the last time i saw such unpredictable, unconventional plot. Though I did feel that some minute but cruial details were missing about the main charecters,and I did not get the backstory and motivation of the character brilliantly played by Sandeep Pradeep. Maybe I have to blame it on my Malayalm skills for missing out those details.
The thought which remained with me from this movie was a dialouge about "Protection and Restriction" The film touched on the think line between Protection and Restrictions, where restriction or control is usually potrayed as " Care"
Another good thing about the movie is that its not all Malayali cast, and all of the non Malayalis have given good performances. Biana Momin who plays another main character is impressive .Use of Malay langauage in the movie is another interesting thing.Locations and visuals were beautiful and very natural! I did find the pace of the movie a little too slow for my taste, so watching in it 1.25 speed was much better for me :) My first movie of 2026 and I have to accept Malayalam cinema still have "the edge"!
