Reviews
Everything easily falls in line in Kanathaya Penkutty (The Missing Girl) but still is a riveting watch, where the investigation of a missing school-going girl leads to baffling explorations of the concept of one's school life, family, and social environment. The dialogues are humdrum as the film tries to get to the point too quickly, thereby taking some fun out of the thriller mystery that it anyway is. A good late-night watch.
