Marupuram

Saw the film because it was scripted by Ranjith.

It should be one of the best crime thrillers of the golden period of Malayalam films, but the director has spoiled a bit with some unnecessary drama and long fight sequences. The cast was brilliant, especially Sukumaran and Jagathy. Jayaram, Mukesh and Urvashi did their parts well.

The script is the highlight of the story. It adopts a new narrative pattern where the story which is absent till about half of the film, gets too complex towards the middle of second half and finally is unraveled in a thrilling way.

The camera work was average, but included some experimental shots.

Overall, its a movie that could have been much better had it been directed cunningly.
