ETimes review

Despite competition from new releases, Officer on Duty has managed to sustain its collections due to its gripping narrative and Kunchacko Boban’s strong screen presence. Co-starring Manoj KU and Jagadish, the film has received 3 stars out of 5 and our review reads, “Performances add to the intensity. Kunchacko Boban delivers a gripping portrayal of a cop weighed down by trauma yet determined to crack the case. Vishakh Nair and his gang exude an eerie menace, embodying the ruthless predators that fuel the film’s nightmarish world. But here’s the unsettling truth—this is yet another crime thriller that feeds on the horrors inflicted upon women and children. Assault, abuse, and sexual violence drive the narrative, reinforcing the familiar trope: women as victims, men as aggressors, and the ever-righteous male cop seeking justice. The film does not hold back in its depiction of brutality, forcing the audience to confront the darkest corners of crime.”


With a total of Rs 27.52 crore and a stable third-week performance, ‘Officer on Duty’ is expected to cross the Rs 30 crore milestone soon.
