Nayattu

a review by Tejas Nair

When Nayattu (The Hunt) starts, you have to leave everything and give it your full attention. Because once it starts, it never stops. And even after the film has ended by putting a crushing weight on you, you will stay seated wondering about helplessness. The story of three cops finding themselves in the middle of caste politics cuts open some of the ugliest truths about our country and the world in general, and this time it's not the common man who is at the receiving end. This is artful, subtle filmmaking. Nayattu (The Hunt) is eerie.
