Story:
Praveen
Michael
(Kunchacko
Boban)
joins
the
police
force
as
the
new
CPO.
A
local
political
goon,
who
is
related
to
COP
Sunitha
(Nimisha
Sajayan),
is
summoned
for
being
a
constant
trouble-maker.
Praveen
and
senior
police
officer
Maniyan
(Joju
George)
get
into
a
scuffle
with
the
goon
and
lock
him
up
in
the
cell.
But
later,
they
receive
a
call
from
the
SP,
asking
to
let
him
out.
However,
things
go
out
of
control
and
the
three
police
officers
are
on
the
run.
Director
Martin
Prakkat
and
writer
Shahi
Kabir
have
succeeded
in
creating
a
highly
realistic,
engaging
cop
thriller,
which
reveals
the
unfamiliar
face
of
our
corrupt
system.
Nayattu
is
nothing
like
the
usual
police
stories
that
we
have
seen
on
the
silver
screen.
This
Kunchacko
Boban-Joju
George
starrer
falls
more
into
the
survival
drama
genre.
The
Martin
Prakkat
directorial
convincingly
portrays
how
the
system
hunts
down
those
who
turn
against
it,
even
if
they
were
hunters
once.
Shahi
Kabir,
the
writer
of
the
film
himself
is
a
civil
police
officer,
and
his
experiences
have
clearly
influenced
the
narrative
in
a
positive
way.
The
personal
lives
of
the
three
protagonists
are
given
ample
importance,
without
affecting
the
main
plot.
However,
some
of
the
ideas
put
forward
by
the
film
are
not
convincing
enough.
Also,
there
are
quite
a
few
loose
ends,
that
might
leave
the
audience
thinking.
Kunchacko
Boban
has
delivered
one
of
the
finest
performances
of
his
career
as
CPO
Praveen
Michael
in
Nayattu.
Joju
George
once
again
proves
his
caliber
as
a
performer
with
his
amazing
portrayal
of
Maniyan.
Nimisha
Sajayan,
the
leading
lady
is
excellent
as
always
in
the
role
of
Sunitha.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast,
especially
the
late
actor
Anil
Nedumangadu,
have
played
their
parts
to
near
perfection.
Technical
Aspects
Shyju
Khalid's
exceptional
cinematography,
which
majorly
plays
with
a
dark
tone,
sets
the
perfect
mood
for
the
cop
thriller.
Vishnu
Vijayan
the
music
director,
scores
with
notable
songs
and
exceptional
background
scores.
Verdict
Nayattu
is
a
well-made
cop
thriller
that
portrays
a
realistic
take
on
the
corrupted
system.
This
Kunchacko
Boban-Joju
George-Nimisha
Sajayan
starrer
definitely
deserves
to
be
watched
in
theatres.
