Narivetta is an upcoming Malayalam film releasing on May 23, 2025, starring Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Cheran, directed by Anuraj Manohar, known for Ishq (2019), with music by Jakes Bejoy, who won the 2021 South Indian International Movie Awards for Best Music Director for Ayyappanum Koshiyum.
The film's promotional poster highlights a theatrical release, aligning with a trend in India where producers are prioritizing cinema releases despite a decline in screen counts, as noted in a 2021 Live Mint report, with films needing at least 15 days of promotion for success.
The title Narivetta, meaning "hunting the beast" in Malayalam, suggests a gripping narrative, potentially a thriller, given Bejoy's previous work on intense scores like Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru and Manohar’s experience with emotionally charged storytelling in Ishq.
