Jithin Kumbukattu

Jithin Kumbukattu’s filmography is a ride, honestly. Kicked off with Thureeyam in 2019—yeah, that flick. It’s one of those indie gems that didn’t exactly blow up, but people who found it still talk about it like it’s some kind of secret handshake. Moody, slow burn, lots of tension simmering under the surface. The whole vibe is more about what’s *not* said, you know? Then he jumps to Son of Alibaba Nalpathonnaman in 2022. Completely different energy. That movie’s like a fever dream mashed together with classic folklore and just enough absurdity to keep you off-balance. Not your run-of-the-mill stuff—one minute you’re laughing, then you’re like, “Wait, what just happened?” Kumbukattu’s direction just leans into the chaos. But wait, 1098 Ten, Nine, Eight: A Countdown to Infinity is on the horizon for 2025, and people are already buzzing. The title alone is wild—sounds like it’s about to launch you into another dimension. Word on the street is, it’s this ambitious sci-fi epic with some real emotional core, not just explosions and shiny effects. Kumbukattu seems to be pushing boundaries, experimenting with storytelling and visuals. It’s not every day you see someone jumping genres like he does, going from indie drama to satire to sci-fi, all with that weird, unmistakable signature. If you’re into directors who don’t play it safe and love to keep you guessing, Jithin’s stuff is basically a must-watch.
