Khaleel Ismail

Idi Mazha Kaattu isn’t your run-of-the-mill drama. Set against the lush, rain-soaked landscapes of Kerala, the film throws you right into the middle of a family unraveling at the seams. Khaleel Ismail steps into the shoes of Arjun, a guy who’s basically stuck in that weird space between chasing dreams and dealing with the messy reality of home. His world? It’s a cocktail of old-school traditions and ambitions that just refuse to fit in the same room. Every time the monsoon hits, it’s like someone’s pressing rewind on his regrets and old wounds. The story follows Arjun as he bounces between his overbearing father, who can’t stop living in the past, and his younger sister, who’s got secrets she’s not ready to spill. There’s an undercurrent of rebellion, but also a kind of love that only families who fight hard can understand. Relationships here are sticky—not the Instagram highlight reel kind, but the complicated, sometimes ugly mess that comes with actually loving people. Toss in a childhood friend who reappears right when everything’s falling apart, and things get even juicier. The rain isn’t just weather—it’s almost a character, showing up every time things start to boil over. The soundtrack’s full of melancholy, but there’s hope in there too, sneaking in when you least expect it. At its core, Idi Mazha Kaattu isn’t about fixing all the broken pieces. It’s about figuring out how to live with them, and maybe, just maybe, finding peace when the storm finally passes.
