Officer On Duty Movie Review: A Decent Crime Investigation Thriller

Movie: Officer On Duty
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Priya Mani, Jagadish, Vishak Nair and others
Director: Jithu Ashraf
Producer: Martin Prakkat,Renjith Nair & Siby Chavara
Streaming On: Netflix

Kunchacko Boban, one of the popular stars in Malayalam cinema, appeared in a new crime thriller called Officer on Duty, featuring Priyamani as the main female character. The movie was released in Malayalam on February 20 and has also recently been dubbed in Telugu under the same name. It is now streaming on OTT. Please read our review to find out how it has been shaped.

Story:

Suspended Circle Inspector Hari Shankar, played by Kunchacko Boban, is back on the job after a suspension. His tough personality often causes friction with his coworkers. On his first day back, he is given a case involving a stolen gold chain. As he digs deeper, he discovers connections between the theft, a girl’s tragic death, and a police officer’s suicide in Bengaluru.

As Hari investigates, he faces accusations from the girl’s father, who holds him responsible for her death. What led the girl to take such a drastic step? Could it be tied to Hari’s own painful past? Who is behind these terrible events? The story unfolds as Hari works to solve the mystery and catch the culprits.

Performances:

Kunchacko Boban gives one of his best performances in the character of Hari Shankar. He showed the intensity/aggression in action and emotional moments as well. Priyamani convincingly plays her part. Vishakh Nair and other actors who played the villain roles are good.

Analysis:

Director Jithu Ashraf starts the film with a compelling plot and an interesting arc for the lead character. The gradual unveiling of Hari’s struggles is particularly striking. Many scenes in the film are skillfully crafted and filled with tension and suspense. The action sequences between the hero and villains are also engaging, though they are too violent.

However, after creating the intrigue in the first half, the narration fails to maintain the momentum in the latter half. The game between the villains and the hero could have been stronger. The actions of the criminal gang members (Drug addicts) appear silly. Also, the backstory/revenge plot that connects all the dots is pretty much predictable. 

But, still, the emotional struggle of the Hero makes the climax work, and the ending scene is also impressive.

Positives:

  • Kunchacko Bobban’s Performance
  • First Half
  • Last 20 Mins

Negatives:

  • Excessive Violence
  • Predictable Backstory
  • Not So Strong Handling of Villains gang in the Second Half

Officer On Duty Movie Review and Verdict:

Officer on Duty is a decent crime investigation thriller. Though the predictability in the second half along with excessive violence work against it, Kunchacko Boban’s performance, interesting first half, and a few emotional scenes and climax work well for the film.

Officer on Duty: A gripping Malayalam Thriller streaming in Telugu, must watch

Mollywood is continuously delivering good thrillers and the latest entrant in the list is Officer on Duty starring Kunchacko Boban and Priyamani. The film released in the theatres on 20th February and emerged as a big Blockbuster collecting more than 50 crores gross.

Officer on Duty is now streaming on Netflix in all the languages including Telugu. The film is a very interesting thriller from beginning to end. It is a thriller between a Police Officer and a Gang of drug addicts. The film starts with multiple dots at the beginning and every dot is connected in the second half in an engaging way with extraordinary performances from all the characters.

It is surely worth watching on the OTT and is highly recommended. Mollywood, as said, has been delivering quality films especially thrillers within a very reasonable budget.

Empuraan breaks all South India opening records in Germany: Eyes on All India’s biggest – A Detailed Report

The range of Empuraan is going higher and higher with each passing day. After the trailer release, it goes much bigger. Everywhere is creating new milestones for Mollywood. The overseas advance pre-sales have already crossed 1.5M for opening day, and at this pace, it is even on track to open with a 4 million start. Mohanlal’s Empuraan breaks all South India opening records in Germany.

L2: Empuraan sees an astonishing trend in Germany. It breaks all South India opening day records, including recent pan-India biggies like Kalki 2898 AD and Pushpa 2. In Germany the film advances are €100K; it is all set to emerge as India’s biggest opening as well.

Currently, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, with €146K, is the biggest opener ever for Indian cinema in Germany. Empuraan might even break this before shows start, as the trend is unreal. Mohanlal’s Empuraan breaks all South India opening records in Germany.

The overseas booking might not only be a shock to the people or industry circles, but it might be a shocker to the film’s unit as well. The most hyped sequel of Malayalam cinema shows that there is a huge overseas market for Mollywood.

The film’s business sold at 30 Cr, and to achieve breakeven, it needs to collect 9M. Everyone thought it was a highly risky one, as the existing all-time record itself was around 8.2M [2018 Movie]. But seeing these bookings, the break-even seems very easy, as on opening day itself, the Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial is expected to take a 4M start.

Ram Charan To Hurt Nani

Natural Star Nani’s most ambitious film, The Paradise, has stunned audiences with its glimpse, setting high expectations. The team has officially announced that the film will hit theaters on March 26, 2026, with pre-production nearing completion. Nani has already begun intense workouts for the role, signaling the scale and dedication going into this big-budget project.

Given its large-scale production and pan-India appeal, The Paradise was expected to secure a solo release. However, an unexpected clash might be on the horizon, as Ram Charan’s RC16, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, is also eyeing a March-end release. The team behind RC16 has been working tirelessly, aiming to wrap up the shoot by the end of this year. The film’s title teaser is set to release on March 27, Charan’s birthday, where they are likely to announce the official title Peddi, along with the release date.

If both films release simultaneously, it could pose a major box office battle. While Charan’s Peddi is a massive project, Nani’s Paradise is positioned as an event film with a strong pan-India focus. Will a date shift happen, or is a showdown inevitable? Time will tell!

Salaar Re Release Final Advance Bookings Report

Prabhas Salaar: Part 1 Ceasefire is set to re-release in theaters tomorrow, and despite no special occasion, the film has recorded impressive advance bookings. This makes it the highest pre-booked re-release for Prabhas.
Hyderabad has emerged as the top-performing city, contributing ₹60 lakh pre-sales for this movie . Across the Telugu states, ‘Salaar’ has secured ₹1.5 crore in bookings, while the total advance bookings across India have reached ₹1.65 crore. The film’s strong box office appeal remains evident, proving Prabhas’ star power and the audience’s continued interest in the action-packed entertainer.

However, ‘Salaar’ will not surpass the re-release opening record, which remains with ‘Gabbar Singh 4K’. The Pawan Kalyan starrer had set a massive benchmark with a ₹7 crore opening on its re-release. Despite this, ‘Salaar’ achieving such impressive numbers without a festival or special occasion is a commendable feat.

The overwhelming response highlights the film’s sustained popularity and ensures a strong run at the box office. Fans are eagerly waiting to relive the ‘Salaar’ experience on the big screen once again.

The official response from the actor stated that Vijay has advertised only for skill-based games conducted as per the law. Vijay Devarakonda did nothing illegal in the betting app case, according to his team’s official response.

Vijay Deverakonda clarifies his involvment in the promotion of illegal Betting Apps

Vijay Devarakonda’s team has come out with a clarification on the false news in the wake of rumors circulating that he has promoted betting apps. Vijay Devarakonda’s PR team informed that he had campaigned only for skill-based games and the companies were conducting it as per the law. Vijay Deverakonda has been restricted as a promoter only to areas where online skill-based games are allowed.

I Did Nothing Illegal, Says Vijay Devarakonda

Vijay Deverakonda’s team thoroughly examines whether he is working/promoting any ad or company that is legally valid or not. He will be the promoter of the ad only after it is revealed that the company or the product is legally permissible. Vijay Deverakonda has worked as the brand ambassador of a company called A23, which has such permission. The honorable Supreme Court has repeatedly said in the past that rummy is a skill-based game.

Vijay Devarakonda in the AD of A23

Vijay Devarakonda endorsed A23 and shot an advertisement for the same 2 years ago. Because of this ad, he has been involved in the list of Telugu stars who have promoted illegal betting apps.

However, as said above, the official response from the actor’s team is that Vijay Devarakonda did nothing illegal. Vijay Deverakonda’s contract with A23 ended last year. So, now he has nothing to do with the company. 

The VD team stated that there is no truth in the news about Vijay Deverakonda being circulated in various media outlets, and he did not act as a promoter for any of the organizations working illegally.

The FIR filed by Businessman Phanindra Sarma

The First Information Report (FIR) said as quoted by the media, “Thousands of lakhs of rupees are involved in these illegal platforms and it is also leading many families into distress, especially that of middle-class and lower middle-class.”

“These platforms are encouraging the public, especially people that are in dire need of money, to invest their hard-earned and family money into those apps/websites and slowly get addicted to them, leading to total financial collapse,” it adds.

Also, the complainant (Sarma) nearly invested in one such website but decided against it after his family warned him.
