Sangeeth Prathap and Sharaf D Dheen's It’s A Medical Miracle has clocked over 15 million minutes of watch time in its first week on ManoramaMAX. The comedy thriller, directed by debutant Syamin Gireesh, is streaming on the platform in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
The film follows Ruben (Sangeeth), who develops extraordinary hearing abilities after recovering from a prolonged coma. His encounter with Sooraj (Sharafudheen), a police officer, sets off a series of events that combine comedy and suspense.
It’s A Medical Miracle marks Sangeeth’s first lead role. The actor is best known for playing Amal Davis in Premalu and Joel in Bethlehem Kudumba Unit. Sharaf plays a pivotal role, while Akhila Bhargavan, Parvathy R Krishna, Kottayam Nazeer, Anand Manmadhan and Kiran Peethambaran are also part of the cast.
Written by actor Nileen Sandra, known for her association with Karikku, the film opened in theatres on September 18 to mixed reviews. It is produced by Dr Paul Varghese and Sujith J Nair under the banners of Dr Paul’s Entertainment and Dream Big Films. Akhil Xavier is the cinematographer, while Rakesh Cherumadom handles the editing. The music is composed by Mujeeb Majeed, with Nixon George serving as sound designer.
An excerpt from the CE review of It’s A Medical Miracle reads, “While superpowers are often seen as something to be envied, this film vaguely touches upon the other side of it. What's the cost of it? Also, should all superpower stories come with vigilantism? However, the makers seem more interested in pursuing a regular revenge angle that allows them to neatly wrap up the story and tie a bow around it. All we get then is a film whose real potential remains untapped or, say... unheard.”
