Jeethu Joseph’s Valathu Vashathe Kallan (Photo Credit: Instagram) With Drishyam 3 inching closer to release, expectations around director Jeethu Joseph are once again on the rise. Amid this anticipation, his latest Malayalam outing, Valathu Vashathe Kallan, starring Biju Menon and Joju George, quietly arrived in theaters last week, only to receive an underwhelming response. Reviews for the film have been mostly negative overall. It is worth remembering that Jeethu Joseph’s previous film, Mirage (2025), starring Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali, was also a box office dud, and opinions did not improve even after it became available for streaming.

So, does the film truly deserve the criticism it’s receiving, or does it still have enough going for it to make it a worthwhile watch despite its flaws? Let’s break it down. Valathu Vashathe Kallan Plot: A Clash Of Power, Morality & Revenge Antony …
