Tovino Thomas’ Narivetta Clears Censor with 139-Minute Runtime; Gears Up for May 23 Release

The much-awaited socio-political thriller Narivetta, starring Tovino Thomas, has officially cleared censorship and received its CBFC certification with a runtime of approximately 139 minutes. The film, directed by Anuraj Manohar, is now all set to hit theatres on May 23, 2025. With the trailer already generating intense buzz, the censor clearance has further heightened anticipation among audiences awaiting this gripping, true-story-inspired drama.

Narivetta features a stellar cast including Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Priyamvada Krishnan, and Tamil actor Cheran in a powerful role. The film is penned by Abin Joseph and produced by Tippushan and Shiyas Hassan under the banner of Indian Cinema Company. Jakes Bejoy has composed the music, while Vijay handles cinematography and Shameer Muhammad is in charge of editing. N M Badusha serves as the executive producer for this thought-provoking political thriller.

The film’s recently released folk track “Aadu Ponmayile” has already struck a chord with listeners, adding to the film’s pre-release buzz. With AGS Entertainment handling Tamil Nadu distribution — following the success of Tovino’s ARM in the region and their own blockbuster Dragon — Narivetta is poised for a wide and impactful theatrical release. Fans can now mark their calendars for a compelling cinematic experience on May 23.
