ETimes praises the film’s visual style
ETimes’ exclusive review stated, “One of the most interesting aspects of Karakkam is the way it presents the ghosts. These are not the usual Malayalam cinema ghosts dressed in white, appearing silently in dark corners or moving across the frame in a predictable manner. Here, the ghosts belong to an earlier period and are imagined in a more colorful and performative style.” Because they are connected to a bygone world of bar dancers, rock star energy, music and acting, their wardrobe and body language reflect this as well. The costumes, the dancing and the exaggerated stage presence in disco form give the supernatural portions a new visual identity. This makes the film feel different from the standard horror-comedy template, even when the writing around it isn’t quite as inventive.”The cast features Sreenath Bhasi in the role of Dhanush and Femina George as Pinki. Praveen TJ, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Shaun Romy, Manikandan R. Achari and Sidharth Bharathan also play important characters.
