Eko is a 2025 Malayalam-language mystery drama set in the misty hills of Kerala, built around the legend of Kuriachan, a mythologized dog breeder and outlaw whose absence continues to shape the lives of an aging woman and her young servant. Director Dinjith Ayyathan leans into atmosphere and folklore rather than ideology, which is precisely why the Neutral label fits. The film's signals pull in no particular cultural or political direction: family structures appear only at the margins, religion is absent from the frame, and the mystery genre's focus on myth and memory keeps the story from aligning with progressive or traditional talking points. What bias exists here is mostly the hills keeping their secrets.
