The Story in Brief
The shooting of Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas’s new film Munpe commenced in Ooty on Saturday. The movie is directed by editor-turned-filmmaker Saiju Sreedharan, who made his directorial debut with Footage. Tovino’s brother Tingston Thomas is scripting the film, which has fantasy elements.
Tovino had earlier described Munpe as an 'intense, fantastical love story that is out of this world.' The film is jointly produced by Tovino Thomas Productions, Panorama Studios, and Theatre of Dreams. It features cinematography by Shinoz and music by Rex Vijayan and Gichu Joy.
The Indian Opinion
Malayalam cinema has seen a surge of high-concept fantasy romances, and Munpe risks being lost in the crowd if it leans too heavily on cosmic imagery without a rooted emotional core. The real test will be whether Saiju Sreedharan’s editing instincts translate into tight storytelling, or if the production’s casting call for a newcomer female lead signals an underwritten role. Two questions remain: can the wormhole premise sustain a full feature, and will the Ooty shoot deliver visual novelty beyond the usual tourist-board frames?
