"Check Mate," starring Anoop Menon, set in New York, has been released
The film CheckMate's screenplay, soundtrack, cinematography, and direction are all under the guidance of Ratish Sekhar. The Chief Associate Director is Balachander Sekar, the Project Designer is Shyam Krishna, and the Creative Director is Sowmya Rajan. Editor Sangeeth Prathap is the Post Production Supervisor. The executive producers are Paul Karukappillil, Lindo Jolly, and Kerala Times USA
Four interconnected stories with themes of murder, mystery, conspiracy, and deception make up the thriller Checkmate (Malayalam). The story takes place in a non-linear and non-chronological manner, leaving the audience floating aimlessly, surprising them when they least expect it, and slowly simmering in their minds.
On social media, the first-look poster for the movie, 'Check Mate', released on 29 June 2024, featuring scriptwriter and actor Anoop Menon, is gaining traction. The poster makes it clear that the movie will be a thriller with a mind game. The poster's backdrop details, which include skyscraper structures, human thoughts interacting, and events that shift like a game of four, are all hints at the plot of the film. 'Every move could be your last' is the phrase that appears on the first look poster. Anoop Menon appears to have a distinct appearance and is dressed in formal wear in the movie poster. There are hints that the movie's premise revolves around a voyage through the intricate workings of the human mind, where pieces are moved around like chess pieces.
The music for the film 'CheckMate' is composed by Ratish Sekhar, and the lyrics are by BK Harinarayanan, Dhanya Suresh Menon, Joe Paul, and Vinayak Sasikumar.
CheckMate movie was released in theaters on August 9, 2024. The movie CheckMate was distributed by Seed Entertainment USA Release. The majority of the scenes in CheckMate were filmed in New York. The Malayalam film Checkmate is streaming on Zee5 from 2 October 2025.
