Mail This Article
Asif Ali continues his remarkable success into 2025, building on the massive hits of 2024. His first release of the year, 'Rekhachithram', directed by Jofin T Chacko, has already made a significant mark by entering the prestigious 50 Crore club. The film achieved this milestone on its 14th day of release. 'Rekhachithram' is now Asif Ali’s second film to join the 50 Crore club in his career. The film has been widely praised for its compelling screenplay and Asif Ali’s standout performance.
'Rekhachithram' takes a unique approach by exploring an alternate history surrounding an incident that occurred on the sets of the 1985 Mammootty film 'Kathodu Kathoram'. The film has been well-received by audiences, with strong word-of-mouth publicity fueling its success from day one.
Falling under the speculative fiction genre, 'Rekhachithram' expertly weaves together the past and present, delivering a gripping and convincing storyline. More than just a crime thriller, the movie serves as a heartfelt tribute to the golden era of 1980s Malayalam cinema.
The film boasts an ensemble cast featuring some of the industry's most respected actors, including Manoj K. Jayan, Siddique, Jagadish, Sai Kumar, Indrans, Sreekanth Murali, Nishanth Sagar, Harishree Ashokan, Sudhi Koppa, Megha Thomas, and Zarin Shihab, among others.
