B. Tech is a 2018 Indian Malayalam-language coming-of-age drama film co-written and directed by debutant Mridul Nair, starring Asif Ali, Arjun Ashokan, Anoop Menon, Aju Varghese, Alencier Ley Lopez, V. K. Prakash, Aparna Balamurali, and Niranjana Anoop in major roles.

B.Tech was released in Kerala on 5 May 2018 with positive critical reviews and became a theatrical success. The film completed a run of more than 100 days in Kerala theaters.[2]

Plot[edit | edit source]

The film is set in Bangalore, the third-most populous city in India, and a magnet for engineering students from Kerala.

The story is about around half-dozen young men from Kerala whose lives and perceptions change as their friend, Azaad Mohammed, is killed in a terrorist attack. The group of men are led by Anand, a carefree B. Tech student, from a very affluent family.

The Karnataka State Police proclaims that the incident was a suicide attack, committed by Azaad, and tries to close the investigation. The police even arrests several Muslim members of the group. Knowing that Nizar was not an Islamic terrorist, Anand and his friends do not accept the police explanation. With the help of advocate Viswanath Iyyer, the group subsequently tries to prove the police version of the events wrong before the court.

Cast[edit | edit source]

Production[edit | edit source]

B. Tech is the feature directorial debut of advertisement filmmaker Mridul Nair. Produced by Maqtro Pictures, after their successful movies like C/o Sairabanu & Sunday Holiday[3] According to Nair, the film is inspired by several real incidents and the story has been in his mind since eight years.[4] The film was extensively shot in Bangalore.[5]

Reception[edit | edit source]

Malayalam daily Malayala Manorama appreciated the film for its good mixture of college campus life and sensitive contemporary issues, while also praising Rahul Raj's music.[7] The Times of India praised the film giving it a 3/5 rating, praising the music, while criticizing some comedy scenes "which seemed forced in".[10] Mathrubhumi gave a mixed review with a rating of 2.5/5, but dubbed the work of Mahesh Narayanan and Abhilash Balachandran in editing, and the music by Rahul Raj as "major plus points".[6]
