Jithin Lal

Jithin Lal’s name pops up in conversations about fresh faces lighting up the Malayalam film scene, and honestly, the dude’s got range. People might’ve first clocked him in “Kalki” back in 2019—a movie that’s all about that raw, gritty cop drama energy, with Tovino Thomas doing his angry-young-man thing and Jithin slipping into a role that didn’t need a spotlight but still had presence. Fast forward to “Maravairi” in 2020, and the vibe shifts. This one’s got a slower burn, dealing with loss, longing, and all those emotions that kind of sneak up and punch you in the gut. Jithin’s performance? Subtle, but he sticks in your head after the credits roll. Then there’s “A.R.M” in 2024—bit of a curveball here. The film drops the heavy drama for some high-stakes action, mixing in a bit of mystery for good measure. Jithin’s character in “A.R.M” isn’t just muscle or a pretty face—he’s tangled up in moral dilemmas, facing choices that’d leave most people reaching for the panic button. There’s a confidence in his acting now, like he’s grown into these more complicated parts. Not saying he’s a household name yet, but if you’re into Malayalam cinema, you notice when he shows up. Each film feels like a different chapter, and Jithin Lal’s not afraid to take some risks, whether that’s slipping into a cop’s shoes or unraveling complicated emotions on screen. Keep an eye out—he’s definitely not done surprising us.
