Idiyan Chandhu () is a 2024 Indian Malayalam-language coming-of-age action thriller film written and directed by Sreejith Vijayan featuring Vishnu Unnikrishnan in the title role, along with Jayashree Shivadas, Chandu Salim Kumar, Lena, Gayatri Arun, Lalu Alex and Johny Antony.
This movie received mixed reviews crossing only 52 lakhs at the box office with a budget of 4 crores and was a box-office waste.
A traumatic childhood turns Chandhu into a violent young man. However, when his behaviour becomes problematic for his loved ones, he decides to transform himself. How does this change his life?
The stunt choreography was done by Peter Hein. This film is the comeback of Hein after 5 years into Malayalam film industry after Jack & Daniel (2019). The principal photography was shot at Kothamangalam
The film's music was composed by Aravind R. Warrier, Minshad Zara, and Deepak Dev.
A critic from Madhyamam gave the film a positive review. Rohit Panikker of Times Now rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Despite its average storytelling and the surfacial set-up, Idiyan Chandhu is a worthwhile watch if you are a fan of high-energy action sequences, because this film, unlike most choreographed action sequences that you may have watched, is a raw high school brawl, and there is absolutely no class or finery to it."
