Director Jeo Baby and actor Divya Prabha are currently revelling in the overwhelmingly positive response their latest feature film, Ebb, has been receiving at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). An extremely bold psychological drama that explores monogamy and non-monogamy, as well as love and the possessiveness it entails, Ebb was one of the most anticipated movies slated for a worldwide premiere at the festival. While part of the hype stemmed from Jeo’s return to the director’s chair after the widely acclaimed Mammootty-starrer Kaathal – The Core, Ebb was also eagerly awaited because of Divya’s presence, since she has been riding a wave of success with back-to-back impactful performances in notable films, including director Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine as Light, which won the Grand Prix at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Although she has appeared in only five films since 2022, including Ebb, each has been distinct from the others, wherein Divya Prabha played unique and demanding characters with full commitment, earning praise from all quarters.

Jeo Baby’s Ebb movie review: There aren’t many filmmakers in Malayalam cinema, or perhaps in India itself, who expose male hypocrisy the way Jeo Baby does: brutally, uninhibitedly, and astutely. His latest feature film, Ebb, which premiered at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), is yet another example of this. However, this time he has opted for a far more raw portrayal and has ensured an exploration of its psychological dimensions as well, along with the social conditioning that contributes to it. At the same time, the movie also anatomises the concepts of monogamy and non-monogamy, their practical implications, and, to an extent, performative wokeness, too. Known for his artworks and ‘nonconformist’ mindset and lifestyle, Adarsh (Jeo) lives in an apartment with his partner, Maria (Divya Prabha). Despite being head-over-heels in love with each other, they are in an open relationship and have other partners as well. Although she was initially not okay with Adarsh’s non-monogamous lifestyle, it is revealed that Maria eventually came to terms with it — thanks to Adarsh himself, …

Militancy in Jammu and Kashmir is at its lowest ebb and the Jammu region almost cleared of the menace due to the pro-active approach of security agencies along with the cooperation of people, Director General of Police Dilbag Singh said on Saturday. He said police, along with other security forces, are frustrating on a daily basis the Pakistani conspiracies to disturb the peaceful atmosphere in the Union Territory. “If you take into account the facts and figures, the militancy has reached its lowest ebb (in Jammu and Kashmir). Barring one district where three to four terrorists are active, the rest of nine districts in Jammu region are militancy-free,” Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

The situation is such that the new recruits are forced to think 10 times whether the path they are going to tread is worth a selection or rejection, he added. “We are also counselling the young boys and making them …
