What happens

Up & Down: Mukalil Oralundu is a 2013 Malayalam psychological thriller film directed by T. K. Rajeev Kumar. The film is loosely based on the 2011 American film Elevator. Its narrative centres on a group of nine individuals who become trapped in an elevator, where a murder investigation gradually reveals hidden relationships and personal secrets among the occupants. The ensemble cast includes Indrajith Sukumaran, Prathap Pothen, K. B. Ganesh Kumar, Rajith Menon, Baiju Santhosh, Nandhu, Remya Nambessan, Shruthy Menon, and Master Devaraman as the individuals trapped inside the elevator. The film also marked the acting debut of Basil Joseph. Produced by V. Balachandran, R. Karunamurthi, and Latha Kurien Rajeev under the banner Blue Mermaid Picture Company, the film was written by Sunny Joseph and Manuel George, with cinematography by Jomon T. John. The film is set almost entirely within the confined space of an elevator, with the narrative unfolding over the course of a few hours on a single day. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
