Uppu Kappurambu

Loved KeerthySuresh performance. Suhas was good too. Great production values and a fresh concept.

Story : The film is set in a fictional village called Chitti Jayapuram in the 1990s, where the village faces a bizarre dilemma when their cemetery runs out of burial space.

Apoorva, played by Keerthy Suresh, is the new village head who, along with Chinna, the graveyard's caretaker (played by Suhas), is tasked with finding a solution.

The film tackles weighty subjects like patriarchy, communal divisions, and death with dignity while encasing them in a unique, humorous story.

What is your thoughts.

Mindless comedies are evergreen - cartoonish characters, illogical settings, impractical solutions and absurd problems - these are just the DNA for such flicks. So I had clear idea what to expect and turn off my logic while watching this.

To be honest the first half is pretty good - especially Keerthy as a bumbling, naive fool and the setting, premise all were good and well detailed.

But second half the director did a sacrosanct sin with comedies - he went serious! This is disastrous - because once you become serious and try to seriously solve ridiculous problems and illogical situations in a comedy - the entire thing falls apart!

Smart storytellers either turn black comedy or venture into horror or even break the 4th wall (like in Deadpool or even bits in Pyar ke side effects, Kal ho na ho etc.)

Giving it a 5 rating just for the entertaining first half.

Uppu Kappurambu is one of those rare films that makes you question not just its content, but its very existence. With a wafer-thin plot - if you can even call it that - and writing that seems to defy logic at every turn, this Amazon Prime exclusive leaves you wondering how it ever got a green light, let alone a platform like MGM behind it.

The film stumbles right from the start. Instead of a coherent story, we get a chaotic string of scenes that are either painfully unfunny or bafflingly irrelevant. Attempts at humor fall flat, and what's worse, the film doesn't even try to make up for its lack of substance with style or heart.

It feels like the writers threw logic out the window and filled the gaps with frivolous nonsense that neither entertains nor moves the story forward. You keep waiting for the film to redeem itself - maybe a twist, a clever moment, or at least a laugh - but it never comes. The pacing drags, the dialogue grates, and the entire viewing experience feels like a test of endurance.

One has to wonder: who at MGM looked at this script and said, "Yes, let's make this"? It's baffling.

Being released straight to Amazon Prime might have saved it from box office embarrassment, but the platform's real danger is its audience having a remote handy. And trust me, they'll use it - to pause, fast forward, or more likely, exit entirely.

If you actually manage to sit through the entire film, congratulations - you deserve an award. Not for understanding the plot, but for your sheer patience and perseverance. Uppu Kappurambu is a forgettable, frustrating mess that's best left unwatched.

Movie has a lot of silly jokes and the movie has a wafer thin plot which cannot be considered important for movie. And the whole movie revolves around a Graveyard in the village Chittijayapuram.

And the movie wanted to carry the emotion or the sentiment where everyone wants to be buried in the village they were born.

And when come about acting as always Suhas has given good performance but it can be better because while watching the film I can see more Suhas traits than the character 'CHINNA' and keerthy Suresh has given a decent performance compared to her last 5-7 movies.

Movie is a decent film. And as of me it is a 1Time watch film. The prime videos could've done better.

Uppu Kappurambu has a storyline with great potential, and it starts off strong-especially thanks to Rana's narration in the beginning, which is particularly engaging and sets the tone perfectly.

Suhas delivers one of his best performances, bringing real depth to his role. Keerthy Suresh's character feels a bit cartoonish in the early part of the film, but her arc gradually shapes up and ends on a decent note.

The second half, however, loses some of its grip. The storytelling starts to feel weak and a bit stretched, which takes away from the initial promise.

On the brighter side, the visuals and setting are beautifully done. The locations bring the 80s village vibe alive, and that nostalgic aesthetic works really well.

While the film was pitched as a comedy, it doesn't quite land on that front. But it still works as a simple, casual watch at home-definitely better suited for an OTT release than theaters.
