rishnankutty Pani Thudangi scores high in atmospherics and is gripping until about the intermission. Up to that point, it reminded me of Akam, the 2011 film starring Fahadh Faasil, in weird ways. But then, the film loses steam as the makers reveal the darker secrets of the bungalow. Apr 17, 2021 By Sreejith Mullappilly
For the most part, Sooraj Tom s Krishnankutty Pani Thudangi has the look and feel of a haunted house horror film. In it, Unnikrishnan goes to Beatrice s remote house to work there as her grandfather s home nurse. It is a house set in a forest-like area with cell signal issues. Maybe that is why Beatrice tells Unnikrishnan to come again for work when her parents are home. Perhaps she is afraid to spend a few hours with a stranger and her disabled grandfather. Soon, Unnikrishnan starts to experience the paranormal stuff as he discovers hidden secrets of the house.
