Unmadham Trailer
The trailer opens with Kunchacko Boban approaching a senior police officer to learn more a few certain case. The senior suggests that he read the case; nonetheless, he informs that the case file is cursed and nobody dares to the touch it. The superior points out that the primary questions that cops ask in a case are who, when, where, how, and why. He explains that not one of the replies to those questions within the case concerned raised any suspicion.
We then see him track the case, which was closed 6 years ago. He gets asked why he’s chasing it now. The explanation has not been revealed. The trailer then shows Kunchacko Boban conversing together with his wife, played by Lijomol Jose. She asks him, “Weren’t you the one who told that anyone who tried to dig deep into this case ended up in trouble?”
As Boban digs deeper into the case, his mental health seemingly deteriorates. He starts hallucinating and strangely gets bothered by lizards. The lizards are connected to the case, but he becomes hypersensitive to the creatures’ sounds. Eerie things keep happening to him whilst his colleagues ask him to drop the case, warning him of spirits and ghosts. Meanwhile, his superiors dismiss it as superstition.

Decoding The Trailer
The trailer features fast-paced cuts and divulges little in regards to the plot. It gives you adequate information to maintain you hooked. We see the progression of Kunchacko Boban’s mental health as he deep dives into the old case. Nonetheless, we have no idea why he’s pursuing the case, leaving us with the mystery. We also see a lizard creeping out the police constable. And quite truthfully, it gave me the creeps, too, with the lizard falling on his hand and being his bathroom companion. In the event you are one to get afraid of lizards, the visuals will send a shiver down your spine.
Moreover, it doesn’t sell itself as a horror drama but as a psychological thriller. The trailer gets you hooked even whenever you have no idea what the case is precisely about. We see one dead body with a face covered in blood partially. Nonetheless, the senior officials say that there was never any reason for suspicion. The trailer leaves you with many questions and a really convincing performance by Kunchako Boban as a police constable.
