Indian filmmaker Jeethu Joseph‘s latest is the Malayalam-language thriller KOOMAN: THE NIGHT RIDER, set in a hilly village on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. The village has people of different cultures from both the states. The story is about a strict police officer who relocates there and the subsequent events that turn his and many others’ lives upside down associated with that police station. Few normal incidents that happen in the village, and some from the past suddenly appear to be abnormal. The film gears up to a gripping thriller as the secrets slowly start unfolding.

“A policeman who nurses his grudge and acts on it can be quite a threat to the non-uniformed people around him. But when his anger turns against a superior officer, then he has to be a little more creative in taking revenge. This “creativity” is quite a wild leap for a policeman, and that is exactly what makes it exciting.” (The Hindu)
