The trailer of the upcoming Malayalam movie Nellikkampoyil Night Riders arrived this week, serving a lively mix of action, humour and eerie tension. The film, releasing on October 24, marks the first directorial venture of veteran editor Noufal Abdullah. Folk tales meet midnight chaos Set in a quiet Kerala village, the story begins with the film's heroine, played by Meenakshi Unnikrishnan, proudly telling how her partner Shyam once helped catch a thief. What starts as a light-hearted anecdote soon turns unsettling as strange forces begin to stir.
