EYES drops on Sony LIV this Friday — October 9, 2026. No fanfare, no teaser blitz. Just the quiet hum of a thriller that’s been simmering in Malayalam cinema’s undercurrents for months. The series, a Sony LIV original, lands with a single, sharp premise: love can be a weapon. And it’s not just metaphor. It’s stalking. Obsession. The kind that leaves fingerprints on your mind long after the screen goes dark. Kani Kusruti plays Tina Sebastian, a police officer whose job is to track down those who cross lines most people don’t even know exist. But as she digs into cases of obsessive relationships, the line between investigator and victim begins to blur. The show doesn’t just ask what happens when love turns toxic, it asks whether anyone ever really sees the danger until it’s too late. Directed by Manu Ashokan and written by Bobby-Sanjay, EYES marks their return after Uyare and Kaanekkaane. Two films that didn’t just entertain, but unsettled. That same unease is back, now in serial form. Anjana Nayar’s story is the spine, but the real pulse comes from how the series treats its subject: not as a crime plot, but as trauma. Stalking isn’t just a charge. It’s a violation of space, of breath, of self. The cast is strong, Nikhila Vimal, Dev Mohan, Saniya Iyappan, Shruthi. All anchoring a narrative where every glance feels loaded. There’s no grand conspiracy, no masked villain. Just the slow creep of someone who thinks they’re entitled to you. So yes, it’s a psychological thriller. But more than that, it’s a mirror. And if you’ve ever felt watched when you weren’t alone, or wondered why someone kept calling after you said no, this one’s for you. Next week, the debate starts. Not about who did what. But about how many times we’ve looked away.
