Kurup
Director: Srinath Rajendran
Cast: Dulquer Salmaan, Indrajith Sukumaran, Sobhita Dhulipala
Swag and massive scenes are never less in South Indian movies. And Malayalam movies are no different. Mammooty and Mohanlal have always ruled the big screen with their massive scenes and powerful roles, but new-age regional films are sure to turn heads with their story-driven attitude. From the wave of unconventional films of Fahad Fasil to the family dramas of Tovino Thomas, modern Malayalam films are a mix of swag, story, mass and make for a total storytelling experience. Like his father, Mammooty, Dulquer Salmaan is also known for his acting, choice of movies and undoubtedly its mass appeal.
In his latest outing Kurup, Salmaan portrays the eponymous con man, one of the most wanted in Kerala. In addition to the film’s gripping storyline, background score and near-perfect casting, it makes a complete package. Kurup was reportedly charged in real life with murders and faking his own death among other crimes. His actions sparked nationwide searches and remains an unsolved mystery.
The film stays true to its title and mainly revolves around the title character of Salmaan. Directed by Srinath Rajendran, the film has enough scenes for the actor’s fans to enjoy his swag, style and flute-worthy dialogue delivery. Produced by Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films, the actor managed to impress in more ways than one throughout the film.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 1980s, the film sets the perfect tone for the film. The Bombay markets, cars and movie posters, one of the background elements used in the film, is to the point. In addition to Salmaan’s actions, Indrajith Sukumaran plays a crucial role as an investigative officer. Sobhita Dhulipala, Shine Tom Chacko and Shivajith also play an important role in the film and set the right tone.
Kurup’s climax has an unusual twist that makes the film even more intriguing and gives the audience a much-needed closure. Even though it takes 2 hours to 40 minutes, it is undoubtedly a captivating experience for moviegoers. For all fans of Dulquer Salmaan, Kurup is another film they can be proud of. Ultimately, Kurup remains an unsolved mystery.
