Sareegh Balagopalan

Idi Mazha Kaattu (2025) drops you right into the thick of monsoon-soaked Kerala, and man, it doesn't let up. Sareegh Balagopalan leads the charge as Ravi, this regular guy with way too much on his mind—family drama, debts piling up, and a job that's basically sucking the soul out of him. The rain? It's everywhere, almost like another character, drenching everything and everyone, pulling out secrets people would rather keep buried. There’s this love angle, obviously, but it’s messy and kinda bittersweet, not your typical syrupy stuff. Ravi and Meera, they’ve got history, and the storm outside is nothing compared to what’s going on between them. You’ll see small-town life in all its gritty, noisy glory—crazy neighbors, chai stalls, gossip flying around like mosquitoes. But underneath all that, there’s this undercurrent of hope, even when things look like they’re about to fall apart. The director doesn’t shy away from showing the ugly bits: betrayals, fights, people making terrible choices just to survive. And the music? Ugh, it’ll get stuck in your head for days, mixing old-school Malayalam vibes with some wild new sounds. By the end, you’re left feeling like you’ve just stepped out into the fresh air after a massive downpour—kinda battered, a little hopeful, and totally hooked on these characters and their rain-soaked world.
