Yedhu Krishna

Mura (2024), directed by Yedhu Krishna, isn’t your usual cookie-cutter crime thriller. It dives into the shadowy corners of human nature, peeling back layers nobody wants to admit exist. The story follows a small-town cop, Arun, who’s honestly tired of the same old, same old—petty thefts, neighborhood gossip, and the local politicians acting like they own the place. Then, outta nowhere, the town gets rocked by a string of bizarre murders—nothing like Arun’s ever seen. These aren’t just random acts; they’re almost ritualistic, almost like someone’s sending a message. Arun, way out of his depth but stubborn as hell, starts digging around. He teams up with a rookie journalist, Meera, who’s got more guts than sense. The two dive into this twisted maze of suspects, secrets, and straight-up lies. Every clue leads to more dead ends, more paranoia. The town starts looking at each other sideways, trust melts away, and old wounds rip open. Mura doesn’t shy away from the ugly stuff—corruption, jealousy, even the stuff nobody wants to talk about in polite company. The pacing stays tight, with suspense that actually delivers (no lazy jump scares or filler nonsense). Yedhu Krishna keeps things gritty and real—no shiny heroes, just flawed people trying to make sense of chaos. The ending? Let’s just say it doesn’t wrap up nice and tidy. Mura lingers with you, gnawing at the back of your mind long after the credits roll.
