Anchakkallakokkan is a tale narrated experimentally by debutant Ullas. The filmmaker seems inspired by Lijo Jose Pellissery’s works, which have raw storylines and characters.
The film is set in 1986 in Kalahasthi, a village located along the borders of Kerala and Karnataka. The story of Anchakkallakokkan is presented in “Porattu Nadakam” style.
The movie also showcases how wealthy people and the system (police) oppress the backward castes. How they fight against their perpetrators forms the crux of the movie.
The stunt master must be appreciated for the raw action choreography. The funky background score by Manigandan Ayyapa is another highlight of the flick.
Another highlight of Anchakkallakokkan is the names of the characters. The new generation is not familiar with these names since the story is set in the 1990s.
Lukman Avaran, as Vasudevan — a police constable with less confidence, rises to the situation at crucial points. The young actor pulls off the action scenes effortlessly.
Anchakkallakokkan is a revenge saga set against “Porattu Nadakam”. The raw treatment of the story makes it an experimental action thriller worth watching on the big screens.
