Finally an announcement! Was wondering what happened to D152. Dileep's filmography has been a mixed bag lately, but a gripping thriller with that solid technical team (Mujeeb Majeed music, Ajay David Kachappilly cinematography) sounds promising. Veena Nandakumar as female lead is a good choice too.
Interesting to see Jagan Shaji Kailas stepping up as director - his dad Shaji Kailas is legendary in Malayalam cinema. 'Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum' producer onboard means quality assurance. Looking forward to 'Neekkam' but hope Dileep picks more diverse roles after this.
The title poster looks raw and moody. Dileep's intense expression with the umbrella in rain gives me 'crisis thriller' vibes. Tagline 'Beyond destiny' is intriguing. Let's hope the film delivers on the gripping promise and isn't just style over substance. Waiting for the trailer!
A thriller with Dileep, Jagan Shaji Kailas, and that fantastic crew! The cast includes Binu Pappu, Siddique, Sudheer Sukumaran - solid supporting actors. But I'm slightly concerned about Dileep's recent choices. Hope 'Neekkam' marks a strong comeback for him and Malayalam cinema gets another good thriller.
The buzz around 'Neekkam' is real! Urvassi Theatres has a track record of quality films. Mujeeb Majeed doing the score is a huge plus - his work in 'Kurup' was haunting. Dile
