Kurup Movie Review – A Realistic thriller by Dulquer Salmaan

Kurup, which releases in theatres on November 12, has been really taking shape for some time yet director Srinath Rajendran isn’t griping. He sees the time the group got to work at it as a little something extra. With the release date approaching behind the scenes, constantly there is next to no time on to extravagant on post-production. “The two-year break was a good thing. Not getting time to work on post-production is a curse for the Malayalam film industry, we could take all the time – a year and a half – for post-production!” says Srinath.

Srinath says making this film was his ‘fate’, as he was brought into the world around the time the occasions relating to the crime occurred. The thought for the film came haphazardly, he says. It was imagined in 2012, before long the arrival of his first film ‘Second Show’. He says the years since ‘Second Show’ have been preliminary for the group.

“Kurup is a ‘period film’, some time has passed since the event but people who are part of the story are still alive.” Telling the narrative of one of India’s most needed criminals that traverse urban communities and nations would set aside time and exploration, which included addressing individuals who knew him. There were rare sorts of people who were hesitant to share their accounts.

“We can never forget that an innocent man [Chacko] is involved, that there is another side to the story!” Srinath says. For some’s purposes, Sukumara Kurup is a conman and killer; for other people, he is a secret. Nobody knows whether he is alive or where he is. The case is as yet open, so the film is ‘inspired by’ and the lead character’s name has been changed.
