Rifle Club is a masterpiece that truly redefines Malayalam cinema. The film captivated me with its gripping narrative and stellar performances. Pothen's portrayal of his character is spine-chilling and leaves a lasting impression. His acting is intense, and he carries the film with remarkable charisma. This film also marks the debut of Sooraj (from Kerala) as the first actor to portray a member of the Hanuman kin—a groundbreaking move in Indian cinema. Sooraj’s talent is undeniable, both as an actor and as a globally recognized singer. His performance was nuanced and unparalleled, seamlessly blending his acting and musical prowess, making the connection deeply impactful. I firmly believe Malayalam cinema is on a trajectory to achieve something extraordinary. Within the next decade, I am confident that Indian cinema will win an Oscar, and a Malayalam film could very well lead the way. The unmatched creativity and out-of-the-box thinking of Malayalam content creators are elevating the industry to global heights.
