Ratings: 3.5 / 5 stars

The movie SHUTTER is a Indian Malayalam thriller film and was released in the year of 2012. The movie was screened at 44th International Film Festival of India 2013 at Goa.
The movie showcases the life events of Rasheed, a gulf returnee who’s happily married and has two daughters. However, under the influence of his friends he decides to spend a night with a prostitute. Besides them, it was just Sura, Rasheed’s friend and an auto driver who knew about this.As there were no hotels available. Sura suggested them to hook up in his shop. While going out to buy food for the two of them, he pulls the shop’s shutter down and locks it. This is how they get into the Shutter. On the other side as Sura couldn’t open the shutter as he gets arrested for a ‘drink and drive’ case. During their course of stay in the shop, Rasheed begins to feel guilty of betraying his wife and children.
Joy Mathew filmed the movie with much care and has put forth the story in a very simple yet effective way. It’s a fine movie which contains everything that a cinema needs: drama, thrill and a bit of comedy.
The acting of Lal and Sajitha Madathil, the prostitute in the movie were quite captivating. But Vinay’s jovial character overshadows Lal and Sajitha as his comic timing was bang on.

 Shutter will linger in your mind even after you leave the theatre.
