"EKO" brings together an amazing cast led by Sandeep Pradeep and Biana Momin with powerful support from Vineeth, Narain, Saurabh Sachdeva and Binu Pappu. Directed by Dinjith Ayyathan and written and shot by Bahul Ramesh the film continues the same team’s creative run after Kishkinda Kandam. Mujeeb Majeed handles the music and Sooraj E S takes care of the editing. The film got released on 21 November 2025.
The story begins in a village where Kuriachan known for his bond with dogs suddenly disappears. The tension rises as Mlathi, a woman who carries an air of mystery starts showing an unnatural control over the animals. Peeyoos moves through a world where fear suspicion and half truths blur together. The film slowly shifts into a space where no one is sure what is real and what is imagined. Beyond this point the plot opens up in layers best experienced directly without knowing too much ahead.
The acting holds the film steady. Sandeep gives Peeyoos an honest vulnerability that makes his fear and confusion feel real. Biana Momin plays her role with strength and restraint. Vineeth, Narain and Saurabh Sachdeva deliver grounded performances that add weight to every scene. Mlathi becomes centre of the film, and the absence of Kuriachan creates a tension that the actors communicate without emotion.
The cinematography by Bahul Ramesh builds the entire mood of the story with its Alluring frames and slow movements. The House and the location feels alive yet distant, as if holding secrets in every empty space. The screenplay stays intact and confident never rushing a moment and allowing the silences to shape the fear. The world feels controlled and carefully crafted, which gives the film its distinct edge.
The music by Mujeeb Majeed blends into the narrative without overpowering it, and the sound design creates an atmosphere that is both calm and chaos. The footsteps, the distant barks and the silent hum of the environment work together to make the tension feel organic. The score slowly tightens around the viewer and becomes one of the strongest parts of the film.
Eko stands out because it trusts its pace and its world. It does not spoon feed explanations and it does not treat the viewer lightly. The film grows in silence, builds fear through suggestion and gives space for interpretation. It has the confidence of a team that understands atmosphere and emotions and rewards anyone who watches with patience.
Rating: 9/10⭐️
