01Cast

02Plot

Sailing among the inlets of the Arabian ocean, seven fishermen start arguing. Their former skipper has been murdered and they start to suspect one another.

03Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The film focuses quite a bit on the fishermen's work in the deep sea and their personalities, with the story feeling like an afterthough". A critic from Manorama Online wrote that "The movie has done complete justice to the subject it deals with and the treatment it has pitched". A critic from Cinema Express wrote that "Adithattu has two principal advantages: a nail-biting third act and a 90-min duration".
