'Eko': Malayalam Thriller Unravels Dark Secrets

Dinjith Ayyathan's 2025 Malayalam film 'Eko' has arrived in theaters, promising a gripping mystery thriller. Set against the scenic yet misty slopes of Kaattukunnu, the narrative centers on Mlaathi Chedathi and Peyoos as they navigate mysterious occurrences. At its core is the enigmatic businessman Kuriyachan, whose shadowed past casts a long presence over the hills.

The film, produced by MRK Jhayaram under Aaradyaa Studios, reportedly delves into intriguing elements such as a mysterious canine breed originating from Malaysia and a connection to the Navy. Its trailer teases a complex plot spanning multiple timelines and locations, hinting at a search for a central figure and exploring themes of animal instincts versus human morality.

Filmed predominantly in Kerala's Idukki district from April to mid-June 2025, 'Eko' is part of an 'Animal Trilogy,' following previous works by writer-cinematographer Bahul Ramesh. The movie's cryptic dialogue and multi-layered narrative promise an engaging cinematic experience for audiences.
