Malayalam language and South Indian superstar Mammootty`s horror suspense drama THE PRIEST premiered digitally on Amazon Prime Video on 14th April. The film widely appreciated for its edge-of-the-seat thrills and stellar performances is about the life of a priest with extraordinary skills and his mysterious journey of solving cold cases. The film is directed by debutant director Jofin T Chacko and marks his first collaboration with Mammootty and Manju Warrier. The film was released in theatres first and was one of the most anticipated releases post COVID-19 outbreak. Even though there are some moments where the plot seemed to lose its grip, it was back on track at the next moment. Mammootty reminds us why he has always been considered as an actor before a star, with his extraordinary performance as Father Benedict played by Mammootty. The megastar succeeds in maintaining the mysterious aura around his character with his sheer brilliance in voice modulation and mannerisms. Baby Monica, however, outshined all her co-stars, by playing Ameya to near perfection. The child actor gave us goosebumps at some of the most critical portions with her amazing acting skills. Manju Warrier, on the other hand, makes a mark in her brief role with her intense performance. Debutant director Jofin T Chacko makes a fantastic debut with THE PRIEST.
