Tovino as a Haunted Policeman on a Mission
Tovino steps into a layered role that blends emotional turmoil with intensity. Known for his dynamic acting range, he appears as a tormented officer on a path fueled by urgency and shadowed by inner conflict. With scenes marked by moody visuals and stylized action, the film teases a gripping thriller that fuses psychological complexity with relentless momentum. While the plot remains largely undisclosed, hints of hidden pasts and personal stakes emerge through the trailer’s cryptic tone and fragmented glimpses of the central investigation.
The trailer sets the mood with a tense, almost eerie depiction of an unnamed town. Tovino’s character—scarred, gritty, and contemplative—emerges as a man chasing not just justice but closure. The visuals alternate between tense standoffs and emotionally charged moments, suggesting a dual arc of crime-solving and self-confrontation.
A Story Rooted in Conflict and Revelation
The film marks the Malayalam cinema debut of Cheran, a celebrated name in Tamil cinema, whose role adds gravitas and curiosity. Suraj Venjaramoodu’s seasoned presence further strengthens the ensemble, while the chemistry between the leads hints at complex interpersonal dynamics central to the plot.
Produced by Tippu Shah and Shiyas Hassan under the Indian Cinema Company banner, Narivetta also stars Priyamvada Krishnan, Aarya Salim, and Rini Udayakumar.
