After a point, small insects crawling up the pathway catch the attention of the director who settles down to capture them on his phone. That is when Nivin Pauly arrives on a bike and gives him a tight slap. When the director asks him what he is doing here, Nivin Pauly, points to himself in motorcycle gear, and asks, "Don't you get it?" When the director replies in the negative, he asks him to come along and the two of them then ride off. The teaser then has the film's title Vijayam appearing.

The teaser is really creative - showing Puthren stranded and then Nivin arriving is such a fun way to announce their collaboration. But I hope the movie isn't just style over substance. Malayalam cinema has been doing great with content lately, so expecting something meaningful from this combo.
As someone who discovered Nivin Pauly through Premam on Netflix, I'm excited for this. The title 'Vijayam' (Victory) feels fitting for his 50th film milestone. Love how Malayalam cinema keeps raising the bar with unique promotional content like this teaser.
Bold move to slap Puthren in the teaser 😂 But seriously, Nivin has been through ups and downs lately. This project with his lucky director could be his comeback vehicle. Hope the script does justice to both their talents. Waiting for a solid mass entertainer!
So happy to see this combo again! Premam is one of my all-time favorites. But honestly, I wish Puthren would write more than just direct - his screenplay in Neram was amazing. Let's see if he can recreate that magic. The teaser definitely has me intrigued!
The cinematography in the teaser looks stunning - those windmills and the wide fields give me major European road trip vibes. 🏍️ Steve Kottoor's music is always good too. Hope this brings back the old Nivin charm that we've been missing lately.
