The Gruesome Crime That Shook Kerala
In 2013, the peaceful neighborhood of Kolazhy in Thrissur district was rocked by a brutal double murder that would later become the stuff of cinematic legend. Two men, Udayakrishnan and Suresh Kumar, were found brutally murdered at the infamous Karikkan Villa—a crime so calculated and cold-blooded that it continues to haunt Kerala's collective memory.
From Crime Scene to Silver Screen
What makes 'Madrasile Mon' particularly intriguing is the filmmakers' commitment to authenticity. In a shocking twist that blurs the line between reality and cinema, the production team took the unprecedented step of casting the actual killer's friend to portray the murderer in the film.
This bold creative decision adds a layer of chilling realism to the project, ensuring that the cinematic portrayal remains faithful to the grim reality of the case. The film promises to delve deep into the psychological aspects of the crime, exploring the motives and mindset behind such a brutal act.
Mohanlal's Return to Crime Thrillers

The veteran actor's involvement guarantees that the sensitive subject matter will be handled with the nuance and respect required, while still delivering the thrills that audiences expect from a crime thriller.
The film is directed by Sajid Yahiya and produced by Jinu V Abraham, with Antony Perumbavoor of Aashirvad Cinemas backing the project. This powerhouse combination suggests that 'Madrasile Mon' will be more than just a crime recreation—it will be a comprehensive exploration of one of Kerala's most talked-about criminal cases.
The Legacy of True Crime Cinema
Kerala's film industry has a rich history of drawing inspiration from real-life events, but 'Madrasile Mon' represents a particularly daring approach to true crime storytelling. By involving individuals connected to the actual case, the filmmakers are pushing the boundaries of how real events can be portrayed in cinema.
As anticipation builds for the film's release, audiences and crime enthusiasts alike are eager to see how this shocking chapter from Kerala's criminal history will be translated to the big screen. The Karikkan Villa case may have faded from headlines, but through 'Madrasile Mon', its story is about to captivate a whole new generation.
