Jithin K. Jose

Jithin K. Jose, honestly, is one of those names you just kinda keep hearing if you’re into Malayalam cinema. Dude’s got this knack for picking projects that aren’t your run-of-the-mill stuff. Take Kurup—that movie from 2021? Total game changer. It dives straight into the life of India’s most wanted criminal, Sukumara Kurup. Lots of suspense, a bit of that old-school retro vibe, and Dulquer Salmaan just owning every frame. But it’s not all about gangsters and chases. Jithin’s work stretches out. Look at Oshana (2024): it’s got this softer, more emotional core. Way more nuanced, more about relationships and the stuff people usually keep bottled up. He’s not afraid to mix things up. Now, Kalamkaval is what everyone’s buzzing about for 2025. People are hyped, and honestly, can't blame them. If his track record’s anything to go by, it’s probably gonna be another wild ride—something that sticks with you after the credits roll. Jithin’s style? It’s kinda gritty, but there’s heart in there too. He doesn’t really do surface-level stuff. The stories dig deep, but don’t get all preachy. You get the thrill, but also those quieter moments that hit home. He’s the sort of filmmaker who’s shaping the new wave of Malayalam cinema, and if you haven’t checked out his movies yet, you’re missing out. Seriously.
