Maoist hunt and a sea of emotions
Dr. Biju is always known for crafting movies with relevant social messages, and this time too, he has repeated the same magic. In this film, we can see Indrajith Sukumaran in the role of a policeman who is sent to the jungle to capture a radical leader played by Rima Kallingal.
Things take a new turn when the policeman gets captured by the leader of the gang, and the abduction changes his whole outlook about Maoists.

Director Biju through his uncompromising cinematic language proved that high-quality movies like these can be made with a minimal budget.
Box-office predictions
The film has reached the screens in Kerala during the time theater owners and producers are having a tiff due to profit sharing. Through his official social media page, Dr. Biju has thanked the producer of the movie, Sophia Paul to take such a daring step to release the film at this time.
Considering the limited number of theaters in which it is released, "Kaadu Pookkunna Neram" will most likely gross more than Rs. 1.5 Crores by the end of this weekend.
