Abraham Ozler(Jayaram), a smart police officer's wife and daughter are killed by a drug addict arjun ashokan. Their body was also not found, which leads him to suffer from insomnia and premature aging. But, the police force still allows him to be in duty. A bunch of serial killings happen and the killer is presumed to be from medical field. Ozler and his team are hired this case and how they solve and catch the culprit is the rest of the story.
Midhun manuel made this film in a very engaging way. Making might remind you of anjaam pathira but unlike anjaam pathira which was a slasher thriller with lots of jumpscare moments, ozler is a medical thriller with lots of medical terms. I guess those terms will benefit common people in future. Performances of everyone is good. Jayaram as ozler performed very well. Another standout performance was jagadeesh with the most memorable scene is his conversation with Alexander where he throws back to back thug lines.
But the icing of the cake was mammootty in an extended cameo. Once he enters, you would forget that jayaram was the hero. The casting of the young actors in the flashback was perfect. Poomaname song was perfectly placed.
First half runs in an engaging manner, second half we get a very elaborate flashback of the killer which was pretty generic. The climax leads to a sequel.
On the whole, after several attempts jayaramettan finally registers a comeback in Malayalam through Abraham ozler. Though the writing offers nothing new, midhun manuel's making, performances and ikka's cameo keeps you engaged from start to end.
