Joji review: Slow-burn family drama

Joji review: Slow-burn family drama
Dileesh Pothan’s
Joji opens with the vast green expanse of Kottayam and narrow, sinewy roads leading to the grand Panachel family residence. While the film is set in the pandemic era, it’s clear very early on that the real malaise lies within the walls of the dark, brooding house.
Joji is loosely inspired from Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth and has an operatic mood to it.
PK Kuttapan Panachel is the patriarch of the family. He exudes brute strength, literally and metaphorically. He has an ironclad grip over his vast property and his three sons – the brawny Jomon (Babu Raj), the dutiful Jaison (Joji Mundakayam) and the waiflike Joji (Fahadh Faasil). Jomon, who's divorced, has a son Popy who lives with him.
