Officer on Duty (2025)

It is an Indian Malayalam language action thriller film. Directed by Jithu Ashraf ( in his directorial debut ). Written by Shahi Kabir. It stars Kunchacko Boban, Vishak Nair, Jagadish & Priyamani.

A demoted police inspector investigates a fake gold chain, which leads to other such chains. He becomes entangled in a dangerous web of crime that puts his & his family’s life at stake.

The film was positively received by critics & audiences for performances, story & music garnering praise. It turned out to be a commercial success.

Made on a budget of Rs12 crores it garnered Rs 50 crores.

Sajin Shrijith of The Week rated it 4/5 stars.’Writer Shahi Kabir delivers another haunting investigative thriller, this time with the slight trappings of a mass entertainer- a good one at that”.

Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express gave 2/5 stars. ‘One of the film’s biggest shortcomings is it’s inability to fully explore it’s emotional & dramatic moments’.

Undeniably it is engrossing but full of violence. Once you start there is no pause button. Starting to watch around 10 pm, I had decided to watch the end later but it was past 12 when I got up. Emotions in turmoil & the evil prevalent in the youth. It succeeds in disturbing you.

Hari’s pursuit becomes our quest. Catching the culprits & punishing them is the goal.
