Eko story (no spoilers)
Set in the misty hills of Kaattukunnu, Eko follows an aging woman and her servant boy as they try to survive the ghosts of the past. The central hunt is for Kuriachan, a dog breeder and outlaw whose presence lingers even in his absence. As the search unfolds, the line between myth, memory and vengeance blurs, and it becomes clear that Kuriachan still rules the hills. The film is a Malayalam-language drama and mystery directed by Dinjith Ayyathan, with Saurabh Sachdeva playing Kuriachan and Biana Momin as Soyi, the woman known as Malaathi Chettathi. Sandeep Pradeep plays Peeyoos, the servant boy, while Vineeth Radhakrishnan appears as Mohan Pothan and Binu Pappu as S. I. Sukumaran. The tagline, 'From The Infinite Chronicles of Kuriachan', hints at a story built on folklore and remembered deeds rather than straightforward action. At 127 minutes, the film moves at a measured pace through its hill setting, and the U/A 16+ certificate signals mature themes. The tone is sombre and atmospheric, with the mystery rooted in how the past weighs on the people left behind.

Our verdict
Eko is a Malayalam drama-mystery that trades jump scares for the slow pressure of myth and memory in Kaattukunnu. Saurabh Sachdeva's Kuriachan looms over the film even when he is not on screen, and Biana Momin's Soyi anchors the survival story. If you have patience for a 127-minute, U/A 16+ mood piece, it offers a distinctive hill-country mystery.
