In 2009, the Malayalam silver screens were graced with the film Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha. The name of the film when translated to English means Manikyam of Paleri: A Midnight Murder Story. The Malayalam mystery thriller was written and directed by Ranjith and headlined by Mammootty. It is based on the novel by TP Rajeevan by the same name which focuses on the “true story” of the first recorded murder case in the state. The film showcases Mammootty in a triple role. Despite being released 15 years ago, the film continues to hold a special place in the hearts of the Malayalees. Now, it is all set to be re-released for the third time.
Paleri Manikyam is gearing up for another release and the makers of the film have released the trailer to once again bring back the audience to the theatres and re-live the cinematic experience of the film. The official trailer of the 4K Atmos version features the latest sound technology that has been dropped on social media. The film is produced by Maha Subair and AV Anoop.
