Ravi Basrur’s score gave life to frames 🔥Kattalan (2026) is a Malayalam-language action thriller directed by Paul George and starring Antony Varghese in the lead role. Set in the dense, tension-filled forests of the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border, the film explores the ruthless world of ivory trafficking and poaching. The story follows Maari (Sunil), an antagonist turned cartel boss, who recruits Antony to fight off a rival smuggler, Eddy (Kabir Duhan Singh).
The film relies heavily on intense, high-octane stunt sequences shot in international locations like Thailand. It also connects to the broader "Marco" cinematic universe. Despite its visual ambition and an energetic background score by Ravi Basrur, the film received mixed to negative reviews, with critics pointing out a lack of emotional depth and uneven character development.
