The storyline of Nayattu explores the journey of Praveen Micheal, played brilliantly by Kunchako Boban, who is new to the Piravom Police Station is dragged into a troublesome situation alongside SI Maniyan (Joju George) when handling an issue of their colleague Sunitha (Nimisha Sajayan).

Scared and in disbelief about the whole circumstance, they begin to escape, and the Police start hunting them down. Will they be able to prove themselves as innocent is the remainder of the 124-minute film.

Overall, Nayattu is a finely crafted film that gives detailed perceptions of how an absconded person is tracked down and had a top-notch visual impact. A splendid Survival Thriller that’s worth a watch and is one of the Best Malayalam Movies of 2021,
