**HYDERABAD, INDIA** – The Malayalam crime-action thriller, “Officer On Duty,” starring Kunchacko Boban, has made a successful transition to the streaming platform Netflix after a strong box office run. The film, made on a budget of ₹12 crore, grossed ₹50 crore in theaters before its digital release.
The movie follows Hari Shankar (Boban), an honest police officer investigating a seemingly simple gold chain theft case. His investigation takes a dark turn when it unexpectedly connects to a police officer’s suicide and the death of his own daughter. The film intricately unravels the connections between these seemingly disparate events.
Director Jeethu Ashraf masterfully builds suspense, weaving together a compelling narrative with twists and turns that keep the audience engaged until the very end. While the initial investigation unfolds at a somewhat deliberate pace, the second half delivers high-octane action sequences as the story shifts to Bangalore. The climax, featuring a high-stakes action episode and a surprising twist, leaves a lasting impact. The film also subtly highlights the devastating effects of drug abuse on youth.
Boban delivers a powerful performance as the determined officer grappling with personal loss and a complex case. The supporting cast, including Priya Mani, Jagadish, and Visakha Nayar, provide strong performances. Technically, the film boasts impressive cinematography and editing.
“Officer On Duty” is currently streaming on Netflix with Telugu audio, making it accessible to a wider audience. The film is suitable for family viewing.
