Plot

A middle-aged police constable in Kerala keeps it safe. He sticks to a non-risk night duty at an aid station at Palayam, for which he is jokingly termed 'Palayam PC' for his pacifist attitude. However, his life takes a turn when he is appointed to protect a civil activist threatened with assault by her detractors. Can he prove himself, or will this be his last task as a police official?

Star Performances

For starters, writers Satyachandran and Vijilesh deserve accolades for maintaining the sanctity of the story while dealing with a controversial theme.

Rahul Madhav has done a great job as the police constable Palayam PC'. The way he avoids trouble is slightly quirky and yet natural.

Apart from Rahul, some of the supporting cast, including Ramesh Kottayam deserve equal mention for their able support to the lead actor.

Analysis

The Malayalam movie industry is synonymous with good thrillers, ' Drishyam Click to look into! >> Read More... ' being a prime example. 'Palayam PC' is no different. It is one movie that manages to keep you hooked until the very end.

While the story is not restricted to one night, the narrative does aim for the same. Steering clear of trouble is something none of us are unaware of, and this movie explains this attitude in a very innovative way.

In terms of acting, this movie has hit a home run. In some instances, despite the seriousness, Ramesh Kottayam's performance will remind you of what George Maryan George Maryan is an Indian comedian and actor who >> Read More... as constable Napoleon in the much-acclaimed Tamil drama ' Kaithi Click to look into! >> Read More... '. Also, the sense of responsibility that arises within the protagonist is commendable, something very few filmmakers are adept at portraying.

The camerawork by Pradeep Nair is also good, if not brilliant. Probably the only drawback is the pace of the movie, which seems sluggish at moments. The personal angle of the protagonist was also not given much attention.

What's There?

The slick narrative that keeps you going
Brilliant performances from Rahul Madhav and Ramesh Kottayam
Good cinematography
Efficient background Music
Engaging screenplay that keeps one hooked until the end

What's Not There?

Lack of consistency in the pace
Minor editing flaws

Verdict

Even if the movie is not flawless, it is a good thriller that you can look forward to, especially for your weekend movie retreat!
