Story set in misty hills

'Eko' tells the story of an elderly woman and her caretaker. They live in the misty hills of Kaattukunnu. The story moves as they face shadows from the past. At the same time her husband Kuriyachan played by Sandeep Pradeep is being hunted. He is known as a famous dog breeder and also a fugitive. As strangers arrive in the mountains searching for him hidden truths slowly come out. The film mixes mystery fear and emotion in a calm slow way.

Director and writer on film idea

'Eko' is directed by Dinjith Ayyathan and written and shot by Bahul Ramesh. The duo earlier worked together on Kishkindha Kaandam. In an exclusive interview with ETimes Bahul spoke about how the idea for 'Eko' came to life.

Bahul Ramesh said “The idea for Eko struck me unexpectedly. There’s a dialogue in the film — ‘Sometimes protection and restriction, they both look the same.’ It hit me out of the blue, and I couldn’t shake off the layers of meaning it carried. I imagined guarding dogs and wondered — what if this ‘protection’ was actually something more sinister? What if something that appears as A is actually B? That was the spark. I had no characters, no plot, no backdrop just that line. I write intuitively, starting with one scene and letting the next unfold naturally from it.”
