Sarkeet Trailer: Asif Ali Forms A Special Bond With A Troubled Child In This Emotional Drama
Last Updated:
Alongside Asif Ali, Sarkeet features Divya Prabha and Deepak Parambol.
Asif Ali and Divya Prabha, known for their strong performances, have come together for a film titled Sarkeet. The makers have recently unveiled the trailer of the film which hints at an emotional story built around friendship, family and meaningful bonds. Sarkeet will make its theatrical debut on May 8.
The trailer begins by introducing a young boy (portrayed by child artist Orhan) who appears to be hyperactive and short-tempered which makes it difficult to handle him. His parents, played by Divya and Deepak Parambol, are shown struggling to cope with his behaviour. We then meet Ameer Karuvandivalappli, played by Asif, who has just arrived in the city in search of a job. He ends up applying for the role of a shadow teacher which is a support person meant to help children like Orhan in a classroom setting.
As the story unfolds, Ameer begins working with Orhan. At first, he finds it hard to connect with the boy and doesn't know how to manage him. But slowly, a bond starts to develop between them. This growing connection becomes the emotional centre of the film.
The trailer takes a serious turn towards the end. In one scene, Orhan goes missing and his parents are seen looking for him late at night. While the trailer doesn't reveal everything, it clearly hints at a heartfelt story about understanding, patience and how unlikely relationships can change lives.
Sarkeet is written and directed by Thamar KV and backed by producers Vinayaka Ajith and Florine Dominic. The music has been composed by Govind Vasantha and the film has been edited by Sangeeth Prathap who was earlier seen in Premalu.
Apart from Sarkeet, Asif has a busy line-up of films. One of them is Aabhyanthara Kuttavaali which is directed by debutant Sethunath Padmakumar. The film was scheduled to hit theatres on April 17. But when the date arrived, it was missing from the theatres.
Later, Asif went live on Instagram along with the film's director Sethunath Padmakumar and producer Naisam Salam to clear the air. They explained that the film's release was delayed due to a legal issue. The makers revealed that a former producer had filed a financial fraud case against the current producer which has held up the release.
Besides this, Asif will also be seen in Mirage, directed by Jeethu Joseph, co-starring Aparna Balamurali. He is also part of Tiki Taka, directed by Rohith VS which is a follow-up to Thalavan. Another film in the works is Houdini – The King of Magic, directed by Prajesh Sen.

Prince and Family OTT Verdict: Box office, Twitter review of Dileep, Dhyan Sreenivasan's Malayalam comedy drama
Prince and Family hit JioHotstar on June 20 onwards, after completing a successful theatrical run. The movie is directed by a debutant filmmaker Binto Stephen and received mixed reviews at the time of its theatrical release. And now, within a day of its launch on OTT, social media has already been filled with reviews left by audiences who watched the film online. Here's how they felt about the movie. Prince and Family OTT verdict Well, a majority of viewers agreed that Prince and Family is a decent movie which can indeed be enjoyed with family and within a varied age group. The film's starting, as many have credited, was so well woven that none of the viewers were able to comprehend what was next in store for them. Nonetheless, there were still some traces of poor direction and disappointing writing in some quite evident places. Actor Dileep's performance was well-rounded and has been tagged as the driving force of the entire narrative. His perfect comic timing and charm attempted to outlive certain flaws like 'being cringey' and 'forced humor'. Other than him, many viewers felt that the remaining choice of cast appeared to be questionable since they did not put forth much of an effort for the joint appeal of the movie. The second half as per the audience was tedious and far-stretched, and any attempt at sending across a meaningful message was overridden. Absence of real humor and the use of outdated themes are some of the most common flaws pointed out by the netizens after watching Prince and Family on-screen. Prince and Family box office response Well, the movie appeared as the top performer in Kerala in terms of box office numbers, surpassing many Malayalam films which were released subsequently. Prince and Family outgrossed movies like Padakkalam and Sarkeet at the box office and grossed over Rs. 5.25 crore within just 5 days of release. It is only topped by Mohanlal 's Thudarum among other latest releases.
