Titans review in 30 seconds

  • Two small-time thieves plan one last big robbery, but their driver has his own plans.
  • Crime, fantasy and comedy in one film — a fun idea on paper.
  • Jayasurya's comic timing keeps the first half moving.
  • A weak script and jokes that don't land drag the second half down.

Titans Movie Review: “Titans” is an action-packed Malayalam fantasy comedy thriller, which features Jayasurya and Vinayakan in the lead roles. Titans is directed by Prince Joy and is written by James Sebastian. The movie, released on 22 October 2026, is a blend of comedy, fantasy, criminal activity, and action elements.

It focuses on a young thief, Antony Yakuza, and his roommate Anwar, who undertake the final robbery with the intention to establish themselves. But, as luck would have it, their driver Rejimon harbors his own motives, complicating their simple plot.

Titans, even though it seems to have an exciting idea in itself and a fine set of actors, fails at translating the creativity into an entertaining movie.

Cast Performance

The cast performs quite well in their parts even if there are inconsistencies.

  • Jayasurya: His energy on screen and recognizable comedy timing come in handy for the lighter parts of the movie, especially the first part of it.
  • Vinayakan: With his unique screen presence, he adds something to the movie, although the screenplay is not able to use him together with the lead actor properly.
  • Nihal Nizam: With the other actors of the film, he is another member of the cast who played an important role.
  • Other cast members: Baby Jean, Sunny Wayne, Indrans, and Suresh Krishna join the colorful company of characters of the movie.

There were possibilities to create the entertaining duo in Jayasurya and Vinayakan, but proper work would make the performances better.

Final verdict: is Titans worth watching?

2.5out of 5
Strictly for fans

Titans has a fun idea and two actors who can easily carry a film, but the writing lets them down. The first half has its moments, mostly thanks to Jayasurya, and then the film slowly runs out of steam. Fans of Jayasurya or Vinayakan will find a couple of scenes worth it. Everyone else should keep their expectations low.
