What Is Unmadham About?
The title itself says a lot — Unmadham means frenzy in Malayalam. The film promises to showcase an unsettling and intense world that unfurls as a police constable opens up a long-forgotten case.
The first look poster is already doing the talking — a police officer standing before a shattered mirror, with a mysterious, faceless man lurking in the frame. It’s eerie, layered, and dripping with intrigue.
Director Kiran Das, making his feature debut, described the film’s soul best: “UNMADHAM reflects a state of frenzy — not just in the events of the story, but in the experience of the central character. We want the audience to feel the uncertainty he feels. Is what he’s chasing truly supernatural, or is something else at play? That tension drives the film.”
A Dream Team Behind the Camera
Don’t let the debut-director tag fool you. Kiran Das is known for his work on multiple landmark films including Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Joji, Moothon, Romancham, Rorschach, Joseph, and Ela Veezha Poonchira. He’s been in the trenches of Malayalam cinema’s finest — and now he gets his own canvas.
National Award-winning writer Shahi Kabir, the pen behind Nayattu and Joseph, handles the screenplay. Mujeeb Majeed of Kishkindha Kandam fame composes the music, while Kalai Kingson (Marco, Bhramayugam) takes charge of the action sequences. This is a crew that understands tension and knows how to put it on screen.
