Kiran Krishna N

Idiy Mazha Kaattu (2025) is one of those films that sneaks up on you—set against the backdrop of a sleepy Kerala town, the story follows a bunch of folks whose lives are way more tangled than they let on. Kiran Krishna N directs with a kind of raw honesty that doesn’t bother sugarcoating the messy bits. There’s this young woman, Anagha, who’s basically stuck in a rut, her dreams quietly dissolving while she watches life move on without her. Then there’s her brother, Sandeep, always chasing after some wild scheme, hoping for a shortcut to happiness, but honestly just making things complicated for everyone. Rain’s a big deal here, almost like another character—sometimes gentle, but mostly just relentless, refusing to let anyone forget their past mistakes. The film keeps throwing these small moments your way, little bursts of humor or heartbreak, and before you know it, you’re caught up in this web of family drama, old grudges, and the never-ending hope that something better might show up tomorrow. It’s not all gloom, though. There’s this stubborn sense of optimism running through it, even when things look downright grim. You get glimpses of love and forgiveness, hidden behind all the bickering and regret. By the end, you’re not handed some neat resolution—life’s not that tidy—but you do get this sense that maybe, just maybe, these characters are finally ready to step out into the rain, face their mess, and start over.
