Angels Malayalam Movie Preview

Angels is a 2014 Indian Malayalam “social thriller” and the directorial debut of Jean Markose. The project stars an ensemble cast consisting of Indrajith, Asha Sarath, Joy Mathew, Prem Prakash, Parvathy Menon, Baiju and Dinesh Panicker. Story and screenplay were written by Jean Markose and Toni Tomy, and dialogues were co-written by Shabu Kilithatil.

Filming took place at Chitranjali Studios in Thiruvananthapuram. Producers are Linu Issac, Hisham Basheer, Saju Azad, Maya Kartha under the banner of Cloud4Cinema. Music is composed by Jakes Bejoy, with Sujith Sarang as cinematographer and Sreejith Sarang as editor. Principal filming completed June 5, 2014. During filming, there was a shoot day when director Jean Markose was incapacitated due to a high fever, and Indrajith stepped in to temporarily direct in his stead. Film producer Linu Issac stated “Indran (Indrajith) rocked it.”

Jean Markose worked as an radio jockey and creator of short films in Dubai before coming to India to shoot feature films. He narrated the script to Indrajith, his wife’s cousin, who “immediately signed the deal with a handshake” as he liked the “powerful social message” it had. According to director Markose, the film is a “social thriller that revolves around ‘Views 24×7,’ a popular crime and investigative show”. Indrajith’s role is that of a police officer who was a “loser” and hence different from other traditional cop roles. Asha Sarath was signed to play a journalist named Haritha, with the actress stating that Haritha was “as unscrupulous as Geetha”, her character in Drishyam.

Hashim Haider (Indrajith) is a brilliant police officer in the Special Armed Police Department. He does his work efficiently but is an egoist to some extent. Due to external pressures, he is forced to step aside from a case he has been dealing with. He is offended by this and wants to take revenge on those behind forcing his recusal.

His earlier crime investigation itself becomes the focus of the reality crime show Views 24×7, and it is at this juncture that priest Varghese Punnyalan (Joy Mathew) and Journalist Haritha Menon (Asha Sarath) enter his life. Both of them want to know about Haider and his earlier investigations, but their interests are unrelated and have different motivations. In their attempts to attain their goal, each becomes aware of the other and the resulting conflict builds the rest of the story line.
