Review: Arfaz Ayub's directorial debut is a psychological drama set in a surreal space where three individuals meet at both a literal and metaphorical level crossing in their lives. The thriller explores the murky waters of reality and illusion, blurring the lines between truth and deception. The narrative revolves around Raghu/George (Asif Ali), Chaitali/Shika (Amala Paul), and Dr. Zincho (Sharafudheen), each grappling with their real and imaginary selves.

The film’s core ambiguity raises intriguing questions about the nature of truth and the reliability of the characters' perceptions. At its heart, it suggests a disconcerting possibility: Are Raghu, Shika, and the third character merely facets of one troubled mind?

The movie's atmosphere is enhanced by its gritty and gripping tone, reminiscent of the color palette of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." It also echoes the Rashomon effect, leaving audiences to ponder differing perspectives on reality.

The arrival of the red-dressed girl in Raghu's life, set against a desolate landscape, introduces a sense of renewal and spring. However, it also symbolises the fleeting nature of relationships overshadowed by darker aspects of human nature, such as need, greed, insecurities, and survival instincts. The prey, Dr. Zincho, who embodies goodwill, is ultimately buried under these overwhelming emotions.

Level Cross is not a conventional entertainer; it is a film that delves into psychological complexities. The sound design by Jayadevan Chakkadath and the music by Vishal Chandrashekar enrich the film's haunting atmosphere. The technical brilliance continues with Liju Prabhakar’s coloring, Deepu Joseph’s editing, and Appu Prabhakar’s cinematography, all of which combine to create a visually and aurally captivating experience.

In conclusion, it is a film that rewards viewers who appreciate intricate narratives and symbolic storytelling. Its artistic approach makes it a promising debut, though its unconventional style might not appeal to all audiences.
