Parole (2018) Hindi Dubbed is a gripping Malayalam‑language prison drama starring evergreen superstar Mammootty as Alex Philippose, a committed communist leader whose life consumerily changes after a tragic family incident lands him in jail. Written by Ajith Poojappura and directed by Sharath Sandith, this emotionally powerful story explores redemption, loyalty, and sacrifice.
During his parole, Alex returns to his home guarded by personal tragedy. His devoted wife Annie (Ineya) and loving sister Kathreena (Miya George) struggle to rebuild their lives after his absence. Tension escalates when his brother‑in‑law Varghese (Suraj Venjaramoodu) is revealed as the key reason behind the family’s misfortune. The film highlights Alex's internal struggle as he races against time to reconnect with his son, rescue him from crime, and clear his own name.
Packed with heartfelt drama, moral dilemmas, and heartfelt family moments, Parole also features strong performances by Siddique, Prabhakar, Lalu Alex, and other notable names. The narrative balances stirring prison scenes with village backdrops, capturing the innocence of rural life and the grit of resilience.
Technically, the film impresses with Loganathan Srinivasan’s cinematography that paints lush green landscapes and somber jail corridors, accentuating the emotional highs and lows. The score and songs—credited to Sharreth, Ellwyn Joshua, and Aristo Suresh—add emotional texture to pivotal scenes.
At approximately 150 minutes, the film delves into themes of political conviction, family bonds, and justice that resonate deeply with audiences. While it received mixed reviews for its melodramatic execution and occasional narrative drag, critics and fans alike praised Mammootty’s natural, grounded heroism—his performance arguably the film’s strongest asset.
The Hindi dubbed version preserves the original’s emotional impact, offering a compelling story for fans of heartfelt dramas, prison narratives, and redemption arcs. Parole remains a poignant watch for those drawn to character-driven human stories and powerful cinematic performances. A must-watch in high-definition for anyone seeking heartfelt storytelling that reunites a broken family and tests the limits of forgiveness and determination.
