Kunchacko Boban in Midnight Murders portrayed his character as a psychologist thoroughly and appeared to have a subtle method. But, Unnimaya, who portrayed the character of a stressed cop, also did a fantastic job playing her role as DCP Catherine Maria IPS.
Sreenath Bhasi’s character in Midnight Murders as a hacker was the most appealing one in the movie. And the rest of the investigation team supported the narrative well with their performances. Also, Mathew Thomas and Indrans performances are worth mentioning despite the minimal screentime.
On the technical side of Midnight Murders, the camera work by Shyju Khalid was beautiful, and he managed to capture the exotic colors of Kochi city with immense vibrancy. Saiju Sreedharan’s editing made the audience more captivated with the movie on-screen. The background music by Sushin Shyam matched well with the movie’s pace.
Midhun Manuel Thomas managed to highlight a simple-yet-intriguing narrative. At times, Midnight Murders hinted at Jeethu Joseph’s Memories and Ram Kumar’s Ratsasan.
