About the Movie
Bougainvillea is a psychological thriller that weaves together mystery and suspense as it follows David Koshy, a determined investigator who becomes entangled in the investigation of mysterious disappearances of tourists in a small town in Kerala. The film explores the darker underbelly of this seemingly peaceful location, where a family finds itself at the center of a complex police investigation. With its intricate plot structure and layered narrative, the film delves into the psychological depths of its characters as they grapple with secrets and deceptions.
At the heart of this gripping thriller is Reethu, portrayed by veteran actress Jyothirmayi in her remarkable comeback to cinema after an 11-year absence. Reethu and her husband become central figures in the unfolding mystery, their lives turned upside down by the investigation surrounding the vanished girls and women. The film masterfully builds tension through the interconnected lives of its ensemble cast, including the criminologist Dr. Meera Yasodhara and other supporting characters who each hold pieces of a dangerous puzzle.
Director Amal Neerad brings his distinctive visual style to this psychological mystery thriller, employing his signature approach of meticulously connecting disparate narrative threads to create a satisfying and cohesive climax. Adapted from Lajo Jose’s acclaimed 2019 novel Ruthinte Lokam, the film combines sharp cinematography, compelling performances, and a haunting musical score to craft an immersive experience that keeps audiences questioning the truth until the very end.
