Kathal (A Jackfruit Mystery) is a quirky satirical comedy led by Sanya Malhotra as a determined police officer investigating the bizarre theft of two exotic jackfruits from a politician’s home. Directed by Yashowardhan Mishra, the film humorously critiques bureaucratic absurdities and misplaced priorities in small town India. As the case spirals into unexpected territory, the film balances laughter with sharp social commentary. Kathal stands out for its offbeat premise, clever writing, and a standout lead performance. It offers a delightful mix of mystery, wit, and subtle critique of the system’s skewed sense of justice.
