Interesting facts

Up & Down: Mukalil Oralundu is a 2013 Malayalam psychological thriller film directed by T. K. Rajeev Kumar. The film is loosely based on the 2011 American film Elevator. Its narrative centres on a group of nine individuals who become trapped in an elevator, where a murder investigation gradually reveals hidden relationships and personal secrets among the occupants.

Production

The script and dialogues are written by Sunny Joseph, Manual George and Indugopan. Rajeev Kumar says there was a consensus among the script writers and him as a director.

Major portion of the film was shot from Chithranjali Studios in Thiruvananthapuram where the lift was constructed using plywood, the insides covered with embossed metal sheets. Mohandas was the art director for the film.

During the development of the screenplay, the writers and director concluded that the narrative offered limited scope for conventional song sequences and were concerned that their inclusion might disrupt the film's pacing. As a result, the film does not feature any songs apart from a promotional track. The background score was composed by Prashanth Techno in collaboration with Quartet Tones.
