M for Malayalam cinema, M for murder, M for mystery… and when these three come together, a film is made that shakes the mind as well as the heart.
In today’s video, we will talk about a new Malayalam film which has been released on Sony Liv and whose name is – ‘Kele Wala Serial Killer’.
Are you feeling funny after hearing the name? But wait, after watching the ending of this film, you will say – ‘Wow! Only Malayalam filmmakers can make such cinema!’
So let’s start
Story Breakdown without spoilers
The film is a multi-layered murder mystery comedy. That is, there are 5 stories running simultaneously – and all have the same destination.
And what is common?
👉 A serial killer,
👉 A missing dog,
👉 Kidnapping of an old age uncle,
👉 Marriage of a bus driver,
👉 And a boy who is put under suspicion!
Each story is so quirky in itself that it will make you laugh and also make your head spin. And all of them connect – in a bus ride, where the real killer is sitting – with a dozen bananas in his bag
The twisted identity of the serial killer
Now the most unique thing about this film – its killer.
This is not a common killer, but his identity is linked to banana!
Yes, in every murder scene, a banana in the mouth!
Till now you considered banana to be a healthy fruit, but after watching this film you will definitely think before eating a banana

Every character, be it the boxer girlfriend, the lover boy, the bus driver or the old uncle – all come together in a shocking ending.
