'Kannur Squad’ is a police drama directed by Roby Varghese Raj. The film emerged as a blockbuster, crossing the Rs 100 crore mark. It’s a gripping saga of a police officer and his team, their challenging journey to nab a criminal gang across the country. The film further shows how he leads his team towards triumph, amidst professional uncertainties in this gripping drama.


‘Kannur Squad’ was bankrolled by Mammootty’s own production banner and the film marked their fourth venture after ‘Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam’, ‘Rorschach’, and ‘Kaathal – The Core’.

Our critic rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, “The film, co-scripted by Muhammed Shafi and actor Rony David Raj, and marking the directorial debut of cinematographer Roby Varghese Raj is reminiscent of Rajeev Ravi’s Kuttavum Shikshayum, particularly when the team ventures into UP’s Tikri village to catch someone who will lead them to the murderers. What works in this film’s favour is the fast-paced second half, which comes as a surprise. While the whole movie could have benefitted from a tighter script, particularly before the interval, the pace picks up. Mammootty’s star power is unmissable and he has some good ‘massy’ dialogues, but the other actors, Rony, Azeez Nedumangad, Shabareesh Varma also have backstories that give their characters some weight.”
