What happens

Nayattu (transl. Hunt) is a 2021 Indian Malayalam-language drama thriller film directed by Martin Prakkat and written by Shahi Kabir. It was produced by Ranjith and P. M. Sasidharan through Gold Coin Motion Picture Company in association with Martin Prakkat Films. The film stars Kunchako Boban, Joju George, and Nimisha Sajayan. Vishnu Vijay composed the original songs and background score. The film was released on 8 April 2021 to widespread critical acclaim for its direction and the cast's performances. It was one among the 14 films shortlisted for India's submission for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards, but lost in final selection. The film was remade in Telugu as Kota Bommali PS (2023). A spiritual successor of the film titled Ronth was released in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
