Urvashi-Parvathy Thiruvothu starrer Ullozhukku out on OTT

Urvashi and Parvathy Thiruvothu's Ullozhukku is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The film, set against the backdrop of a flooded Kuttanad, is an intense emotional drama revolving around Anju (Parvathy) and her mother-in-law Leelamma (Urvashi). Written and directed by Christo Tomy, it was released theatrically on June 21 and opened to rave reviews from the critics and general audience. Arjun Radhakrishnan, Prashant Madhav, Alencier Ley Lopez and Veenah Nair are also part of the cast.

Ullozhukku has cinematography by Shehnad Jalal, editing by Kiran Das, and background score by Sushin Shyam. The film is bankrolled by Ronnie Screwvala, Honey Trehan, and Abhishek Chaubey under the banners of RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures. It is the debut feature film of Christo, best known for helming the acclaimed Netflix true crime documentary Curry & Cyanide.

An excerpt from the CE review of Ullozhukku reads, "Beyond his mastery over characterisations and extracting performances, Christo also has a fine grip over the portrayal of the passage of time. Much of the action happens within the inundated house during the time they wait for the waters to subside. Parallel to the change in water levels, the tension within the house also keeps fluctuating. After a point, the film becomes somewhat of a chamber drama and Shehnad Jalal's cinematography aptly captures the claustrophobic feel inside."
