Published - February 06, 2026 08:17 pm IST Anomie revolves around Zaara Philip (Bhavana), a forensic expert, who begins to look at a series of deaths that has happened in a locality after her brother goes missing. Genre cinema often comes with its expected trappings which unless backed by exceptional writing skills, gives the audience that sinking feeling of going through the motions. Anomie, written and directed by Riyas Marath, has several phases which convey a sense of ‘been there, done that,’ but as with many thrillers of late, the writer goes to great extents to ensure that the mystery about the series of killings is something beyond our wildest guesses.
