Jis Joy is an acclaimed director known for creating films that traditionally celebrate the middle-class experience, often infusing them with themes of love and moral values. However, his latest film, Innale Vare, marks a significant shift in his narrative style. This darker crime thriller delves into the complexities and moral decay within the upper class, moving away from the nostalgia typically found in his past works.

While attempting to tackle societal issues such as greed and betrayal, Innale Vare struggles with coherence and execution, leading to a narrative filled with contrived sequences and unconvincing character arcs. The film features a high-profile cast, including Asif Ali and Antony Varghese, but fails to effectively utilize their talents. With its unique visual style, including a bluish-green filter, and a thematic focus on the consequences of the Me Too movement, Jis Joy's latest effort is both a departure and a reflection of his filmmaking journey, despite its shortcomings in impact and originality
