As the adored comedy trio from the cult classic Punjabi House—Harisree Ashokan, Indrans, and Lal—reunite after almost thirty years, Malayalam filmgoers are in for a nostalgic treat. However, the scene is far from humorous this time. The internet is ablaze with anticipation as the three veterans make their comeback in the gripping and thrilling world of Kerala Crime Files Season 2.
A Retro Teaser With a Modern Twist
The creators of the series unveiled a teaser with a humorous nod to Punjabi House ahead of the June 20 premiere. The famous dream scene in which Uthaman (Harisree Ashokan) tells Ramanam (Indrans) about his strange visions is deftly reimagined in this scene. Although the dialogue has been altered to align with the web series' darker, more inquisitive tone, fans were instantly moved by the nostalgic allusion.
Love and gratitude are abundant on social media for the reunion. Malayali audiences, who grew up laughing at the trio's comedic timing, are now looking forward to seeing them again, but in more intense and suspenseful roles.
From Laughter to Secret Layers
In Kerala Crime Files 2, Indrans portrays CPO Ambili Raju, a police officer who vanishes for no apparent reason, igniting an intense investigation. To play Ayyappan, the case's main suspect, Harisree Ashokan completely departs from his typical comedic roles. Lal, on the other hand, returns to his role as CI Kurian, the astute police officer from Season 1, who is now entrusted with solving the mystery.
This change in tone, from a rib-tickling comedy to a suspenseful crime thriller, demonstrates how versatile these seasoned actors are. Fans have been especially interested in the change, with great anticipation building for Harisree Ashokan's serious turn as a suspect.
An Unmissable Reunion
Kerala Crime Files 2 is proving to be more than just a sequel, as the renowned trio is back together and exploring an exciting new genre. It is a celebration of both the past and present of Malayalam cinema, fusing suspenseful drama with nostalgia.
Fans of gritty crime thrillers and classic comedy should not miss the reunion of Kerala Crime Files Season 2, which premieres on Friday, June 20.
