Our Review of Nellikkampoyil Night Riders

TBU

What Worked

  1. The young actors like Mathew Thomas and his gang bring real fun and chemistry on screen.
  2. The music and background score make the night scenes feel alive and tense.
  3. The village setting and myths feel authentic, like something from our own backyard stories.

What Didn’t Work

  1. Some parts might feel a bit slow if you’re expecting non-stop action.
  2. The horror elements could have been scarier for hardcore fans.
  3. Supporting characters don’t get much depth beyond the main group.

Facts and Behind the Scenes

Did you know that Noufal Abdullah, who directed this, is actually an editor by trade and this is his first time calling the shots? He even edited the film himself, which is pretty cool. Shooting wrapped up in Palakkad back in March 2025, and they kept things low key without big stars, focusing on fresh faces. The first look poster came out in June, and there’s a song called ‘Fight The Night’ that’s a raw rap mixed with folk something new for Malayalam cinema that fans are buzzing about.

Another interesting bit is the soundtrack is dropping fully in September 2025 under T-Series, with tracks that blend modern beats and traditional sounds. Most people don’t know that the village name ‘Nellikkampoyil’ is a real spot in Kerala, adding that real feel to the myths. The team shot mostly at night to capture the eerie vibe, which must have been tough but exciting for the young crew.
