Kochumon

Kochumon, yeah, the guy’s got his fingerprints all over Malayalam cinema if you’re willing to dig a little. Not exactly a household name unless you’re deep into the scene, but man, he’s been around. Start with Identity (2025) – the buzz is it’s a dark horse, totally unexpected. People are whispering about its twists and the way it flips your expectations upside down. Don’t expect your average hero-villain gig; it’s more of a mind game, with Kochumon putting his whole weight behind a character that’s neither angel nor demon—just stubbornly, painfully human. Roll back a few decades to Karimpin Poovinakkare (1985), and you’re hit with an old-school drama that doesn’t pull its punches. Family feuds, betrayal, people making bad choices for all the wrong reasons, and Kochumon right in the heart of it. The movie’s raw in a way that modern flicks rarely are—think sweat and dirt under your fingernails, not glossy filters. Fast forward to The Prince (1996), and you get a different flavor—bigger, maybe a bit flashier, but still with that gritty edge. Action, intrigue, and yeah, Kochumon showing he can hang with the heavyweights. The Prince isn’t just about royal bloodlines and palace drama; it’s about survival, pride, and the messiness that comes with chasing power. Look, Kochumon’s not about playing it safe. His roles stick with you—sometimes for reasons you can’t quite pin down. He’s carved out this weird, jagged space in Malayalam film history, and honestly, it’s kinda cool to watch.
