Malik Movie Review: Fahadh Faasil is simply brilliant in this Amazon Prime film

Set in the fictional fishing village of Ramadapally, Kerala, between 1965 and 2018, Malik tells the tale of a malik (master) Suleiman (Fahadh Faasil), who is the messiah for the fisherfolk of the village. The film begins with Suleiman AKA Ali Ikka in his 50s, set to take a pilgrimage to Hajj after renouncing illegal activities.

He is leaving behind a life of crime that he has lead, but always with a strong moral centre. “I have quit all ungodly work, so who should I fear now? If someone above Him is waiting to kill me, let it happen,” he says, giving us a glimpse into his powerful yet flawed character. And also setting the pace for what’s in store for the audience.
