Operation Java teaser has gritty feel of police thriller

The teaser for

Operation Java

was released today and it looks like it will be a treat for fans of gritty police thrillers, with chases, interrogations and whistle-worthy dialogues. But it is not just a ‘mass’ entertainer; the story is based on true incidents and cases of the Kerala Police, from tackling fake news to ‘accidental’ deaths, from what the teaser suggests.

The film, directed by debutant Tharun Moorthy, features Vinayakan, Shine Tom Chacko, Balu Varghese, Sudhi Koppa, Lukman and and Binu Pappu, and has announced its

theatre release

for February 12. And it looks like audiences are excited about new releases, with the teaser getting over 15k views within a couple of hours of launching.

The film, which is also written by Tharun, is edited by Nishadh Yusuf. Faiz Siddik is the cinematographer, music and BGM is by Jakes Bejoy. Speaking to us earlier about the film, that was ready for release nearly a year back, the debut director said, “Even though it has been a long wait, we were keen to go the theatre, rather than the OTT route, because the film marks the debut of several cast and crew members.” The film, apparently, tracks the lives of an investigation team over a period of a year and a half, and travels through different locales.

Since the announcement of theatres reopening, Jayasurya film Vellam has announced its release for January 22, and will be the first Malayalam film to hit the big screen since the pandemic.
