A frustratingly illogical police procedural that ruins an engaging premise by burying it under an avalanche of unearned twists.

Pradhama Drishtiya Kuttakkar is a gripping cat-and-mouse game that benefits from smart writing.

Just when a number of police procedurals in Malayalam seemed to be following the same narrative beats, Pradhama Drishtiya Kuttakkar injects the genre with some novelty.

5/5

PDK has, relatively, an oddly comforting, hopeful quality — because if we were in the shoes of these four characters, we probably would’ve died of a heart attack. We are thankful to see it from a distance, despite being deeply immersed.

3.5/5

The result is a gripping police procedural thriller that's cleverly written, packed with tension and twists, and never takes the audience for granted.

2.5/5

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar features one of the smartest title placements in recent Malayalam cinema, where its appearance not only adds dramatic weight but also warns the audience that the central four must go to extreme lengths to save themselves.

Wooow what a great acting and a very good script. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Still in the hangover of this movie. Everybody acted really well. Hats off to all the actors who worked in this film. Itâ s worth getting an award. Same time entertaining and bit of comedy involved. Loved watching this. 5/5

Good mystery-thriller plot wasted. Packed with mindless, illogical, unexplained things. Worst: a crime branch officer's college-going daughter asks for the culprit's email ID to track his phone location. Ridiculous — if the police cyber cell can't do it, how can a college girl with just an email ID? Then the cheap shots: a Sabarimala devotee shown as a circle inspector, abused over his religion, while Quranic verses are praised. Cheap religious fanaticism from a director named Shahad — not surprising. The second half is an utter flop — boring, illogical. A bullet hidden in a book, a bullet carrying a fingerprint, a bullet melted into a ring — ridiculous nonsense, just a smokescreen. With a better director, screenplay and dialogues, and without the cheap political potshots and religious bigotry, this could have been good. As it stands: a lousy, worthless watch. One star, only for the acting — Vinay Forrt, Parvathy, Mathew Thomas and Sidharth Bharathan were all good.

Pradhama Drishtya Kuttakkar has some amazing work . Editing , writing , screenplay is a 10 . Overall its a good movie that all should watch . I cannot give it a 5 star because when I was watching at a theater everyone was laughing in scences where vinay fort showed up and that made us give a bit of breather , i agree but at the end of the day made us come out of the emersion
