9 (2019) - 158 min

9 is an Indian Malayalam-language science fiction horror thriller film directed by Jenuse Mohamed.
Starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mamta Mohandas, Prakash Raj & Master Alok.
Like a doomsday, A red comet is going to passes over Earth which results in an electric shut down for nine days. On the other hand Albert Lewis, an Astrophysicist needs to save his son Adam from this event.
It tells the story of nine days with a scientific backdrop and more over a psychological spin of all things. The first half is more engaging with the way it presented than the second half. Performance wise, Prithviraj fails to break Koode benchmark. Wamiqa Gabbi looks gorgeous as Ava and Master Alok handles the Adam character with ease. Sound department outshines everything in the movie and all credits go to Sekhar Menon. Jenuse Mohamed uses the dark sky and red trail to represent another dimension. The visuals were frighteningly eye-catchy. Overall, it is very confusing if you go deep into the plot but at the core, it discusses the universal theme father-son bond in an entirely different way.
Verdict: Good
