Ratheesh Ravi

Ratheesh Ravi, not exactly a household name yet, but honestly, the guy’s carving out his own lane in Malayalam cinema. If you’ve watched “Ishq” from 2019, you probably remember that feeling—uneasy, maybe even a little unsettled—because Ratheesh doesn’t do sugarcoating. He wrote “Ishq” like he was on a mission to slap the audience awake, diving headfirst into dark corners of morality and obsession. That movie, yeah, it’s not your average popcorn flick. It pokes you, makes you question stuff, and, let’s be real, it’s kind of gutsy for a debut script. Now, with “Alappuzha Gymkhana” slated for 2025, there’s some buzz but also a lot of curiosity. People are snooping around for details, and he keeps things under wraps. Is it another thriller? Social drama? Sports twist? The man’s not saying much, which, honestly, just adds to the hype. But if his track record’s anything to go by, you can bet it won’t be vanilla. The cool part? Ratheesh Ravi isn’t just rehashing old formulas. He’s out here picking apart human behavior, those raw, awkward moments nobody wants to talk about. His characters are messy, flawed, and painfully real. You don’t walk away from his stories feeling warm and fuzzy; you walk away thinking, maybe even arguing with yourself a little bit. That’s his thing—making movies that stick with you, whether you like it or not.
