The makers of Kunchacko Boban's Officer on Duty dropped the song titled Vinnathiru Sakshi. The track, composed by Jakes Bejoy and penned by Vinayak Sasikumar, has Vijay Yesudas on the vocals. The film, directed by debutant Jithu Ashraf, was released on February 20 and opened to generally positive reviews. It is scripted by Shahi Kabir, who previously penned Joseph and Nayattu, and directed Ela Veezha Poonchira.
An emotional crime thriller, Officer on Duty also features Priyamani, Jagadish, and Vishak Nair in key roles, with supporting performances from Manoj KU, Srikant Murali, Unni Lalu, and Ramzan. The film has cinematography by Kannur Squad director Roby Varghese Raj, music composed by Jakes Bejoy and editing by Chaman Chakko. Officer on Duty is produced by Martin Prakkat Films in collaboration with The Green Room, headed by Siby Chavara and Ranjith Nair.
An excerpt from the CE review of Office on Duty reads, "Debutant director Jithu Ashraf shows great urgency with how he sets up the initial half of the film. Harishankar's investigation into a petty chain case leads him to a series of grave crimes that also involve his family. Unlike Shahi's usual works, the screenplay here is racy without offering much of a breathing space, neither for the characters in it nor for the viewers."
