Cinema VinesMalayalam crime mystery thriller Unmadham X, starring Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose, opened in theatres on July 31. The film, directed by Kiran Das and written by Shahi Kabir, follows a police constable who is drawn into an old, unresolved investigation that forces him to confront long‑buried secrets and difficult truths. The story explores how these revelations impact his personal and professional life.
From the moment the first screenings began, audience members took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their immediate reactions. Social media buzz grew quickly as viewers posted their first impressions, adding to the growing conversation about the film on its opening day. These early responses reflect the opinions of a segment of the first‑show audience and may not represent the overall reception of the film.
Production credits include producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, with Ram Mirchandani and Rajesh Menon as co‑producers and creative producer Abhinav Mehrotra. Cinematography was handled by Arjun Sethu, while editing was a joint effort by Kiran Das and Jithin John. Music composition was provided by Mujeeb Majeed, and the soundtrack was released under the T‑Series label.
Additional technical contributions came from production designer Dileep Nath, audiographer Jithin Joseph, costume designer Gayathri Kishore, and makeup artist Ronex Xavier. Action sequences were choreographed by Kalai Kingson, colour grading overseen by Joyner Thomas, and visual effects completed by Eggwhite VFX.
As discussions continue across X and other social media platforms, a clearer picture of the film’s overall public response is expected to emerge over the weekend as more viewers experience Unmadham X in cinemas.
