Thondi Muthalum Driksakshiyum
Scored from 34 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
Prasad and Sreeja, a young couple who eloped and settled in Kerala's Kasaragod district, are on a night bus when a fellow passenger snatches the gold chain from Sreeja's neck and swallows it. The thief is hauled to the local police station, where Prasad demands his property back and the officers confront the problem of recovering evidence lodged inside a suspect's stomach. The case becomes a stand-off between an obstinate complainant, an accused who will admit nothing, and constables improvising around custody rules, paperwork and hospital visits. Dileesh Pothan's Malayalam drama, starring Suraj Venjaramoodu and Fahadh Faasil, unfolds largely within the station as deadpan procedural comedy.
Released in 2017, Thondi Muthalum Driksakshiyum is a crime, drama and thriller film. Its listed language is Malayalam. It was made in India. The runtime is 148 minutes.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 34 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 37 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Thondi Muthalum Driksakshiyum lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 34.
