Bhavana-starrer 'Anomie' becomes first Indian film to use Sound Particles

Malayalam thriller 'Anomie', starring Bhavana and Rahman, becomes India's first film to utilize the sound design software Sound Particles.

"It is the first time in India that we are using it in a movie. - Bhavana"

Chennai, Jan 23

If one is to go by the claims made by the team of director Riyas Marath's eagerly awaited Malayalam crime thriller 'Anomie', the film, which features actors Rahman and Bhavana in the lead, has now emerged as India's first film in which the sound design software Sound Particles has been used.

The film's official handle on Instagram posted a video clip of an interview of actress Bhavana in which she said, "In this movie, they have used the sound design software called Sound Particles. It is the first time in India that we are using it in a movie. They have used it in movies like 'Weapons', 'Dune', 'Oppenheimer'. They (the sound particles team) have officially confirmed it. 'Anomie' is definitely a theatrical experience."

The film, which was originally scheduled to release on January 30 this year, is now slated to hit screens on February 6.

The film has triggered huge expectations ever since the makers released a teaser of the film a week ago.

The teaser released begins with a voice over that says, "Everyone, everywhere wants to live. The rich wants to live, the poor wants to live. Nobody wants to die." Even as this is narrated, a series of grim, intense scenes that involve cops appear.

Soon, another voiceover, this time in Malayalam, says, "The only thing that man fears is death." Rahman, a police officer, is shown confronting someone. He says, "You are a fucking psychopath" to which the other person,through what appears to be a mike, replies, "No, I am not."

Bhavana's character is seen saying, "Either he knows who is the killer or he is the killer" even as the cops gear up to hunt.

We next hear a voice, most likely that of the psychopath, say in a taunting tone, "Who is coming next, a man? or a force? A man with a force." Even as this voiceover plays, a series of intense action scenes play out.

The teaser makes it evident that the film revolves around the hunt the cops undertake to bring a psychopath to justice.

Apart from Bhavana and Rahman, the film will also feature Shebin Benson, Vishnu Agasthya, Binu Pappu and Arjun Lal in pivotal characters.

Produced by Dr Roy CJ, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Abhishek Pathak, Blitzkrieg Films, Bhavana, and Aadith Prassanakumar, the film has music by Harshavardhan Rameshwar and cinematography by Sujith Sarang.

As someone from Kerala, I'm so proud to see a Malayalam film leading in technical innovation. Rahman and Bhavana are a powerhouse combo, and the teaser gave me chills. Hope the story lives up to the hype created by this sound design.

While the technical achievement is commendable, I hope the focus on "firsts" doesn't overshadow the need for a strong script. Many Indian films have great tech but weak stories. The premise sounds interesting though – hope it delivers.

Sound Particles is a game-changer for immersive audio. If used well, it can make the chase sequences and tense moments in a thriller like this absolutely gripping. Definitely booking IMAX tickets for Feb 6th. The delay is worth it for quality.

It's exciting to see regional cinema pushing boundaries. Often, innovation starts outside of Bollywood. The teaser's philosophical voiceover about life and death paired with a cat-and-mouse chase has me intrigued. Good luck to the team!

Bhavana's comeback is the real story here! After everything, she's back and part of a pioneering project. More power to her. The film looks dark and intense. Hope the sound design adds to the atmosphere and isn't just a gimmick.
