But Joju George and the grounded feel of the script makes this movie definitely a watchable experience. Joseph is an engaging investigative thriller that’s more towards the real side and has a feel of an authentic thriller. The music was on the average side whereas the background score was convincing. Joseph was the firstborn son of Jacob’s wife, Rachel, whom he loved very much. His 10 older brothers hated him because their father favored him more. Joseph had faith in God to bring the vision to pass. And edits were equally good in making things engaging for the viewer. As you watch the Joseph movie, you will see how God uses him to fulfill the promise of God made to Abraham. The cinematography was impressive as it played with the light to maintain the gray shade of the theme. Some moments of clichés are there which reminded me that Padmakumar still has some of his usual tricks. The film isn’t a totally unpredictable thriller, but the sense of realness with which it approaches those predictable moments showed quality.
Shahi Kabir manages to keep intrigue in the writing and he also infuses the personal life aspect of police officers smoothly into the content. He wasn’t trying to over explain stuff and the fact that the scriptwriter is a police officer gives the movie a feel different from the usual police movies one see. Like I already said, this movie sort of reinstated my faith in Padmakumar and went on to prove that with good scripts he can actually do the job in a much interesting way. The second half is partially emotional and mostly exciting. Before the interval, there is a portion about the past of Joseph which sort of looks irrelevant, but ultimately when you look at the way the movie approaches the character, those sufferings makes sense. Even though Joseph discretely has moments that lacked subtlety, what’s good about the film is that it is primarily a thriller and then a social message vehicle. I wasn’t a big fan of movies like Nirnayakam or even last week’s Oru Kuprasidha Payyan as most of them lacked the quality of being subtle.

There is an element of social preach here which I am not going to reveal as it might act as a spoiler. Romantic dramas, funny comedies, scary horror stories, action-packed thrillers these movies and TV shows in Malayalam have something for fans of all genres. How Joseph’s investigative mind senses foul plays in that and what eventually unfolds is what Padmakumar trying to show us through Joseph.
The plot takes a twist when Joseph’s ex-wife dies in a road accident. The police job has affected his personal life and he lives the life of a divorcee. He has an impeccable ability to find the criminals very quickly (almost a Desi Sherlock).
