Kurukkan

I've saw many reviews on IMDb saying "oola" film. Actually I'd say yes but also no. Cause there's comedy in this film. So watchable. A down-on-his-luck not down-on-luck, but absolutely low iq - police officer tries to frame his crime to an innocent man but it soon backfires on him. Direction wise I didn't like much. My question towards every Malayalam film directors is "WHY DOES YOUR FILM COLOUR GRADING EXACTLY SAME AS OTHER FILMS" Absolutely I hate, it's always colourful. For this film slightly red theme would match. I'd recommend this but not for family audiences cause they show middle finger.

Movie with a fresh concept and storyline. However, the script, direction, and editing are mediocre. The movie is saved from being a disaster by the good performances of Sreenivasan, Vineet Sreenivasan, and the actor playing the judge.

The script is full of clichés and the dialogue is often stilted. The direction is uninspired and the editing is sloppy. Direction these days is not just shooting what is in script by placing camera to actors. As a result, the movie feels slow and boring at times.

Overall, Kurukkan is a disappointing movie with a few bright spots. Can be watched once if you have free time.

Even though this movie received brickbats from around the corner, I gave it a go since veteran actor Sreenivasan and his famous actor-director son Vineeth Sreenivasan joined hands for a full length role.

It tells the story of a police officer who is a laughing stock due to his foolish antics. He frames a guy for a murder of social media celebrity because of his inability to find the real culprit. This comedic murder investigation takes a hilarious turn as when the suspense is revealed.

The idea of making a comedy investigation movie is great, as Indian cinema in general hasn't explored that genre much. The movie starts on the right note with the central lead being a laughing stock for his buffoonery as he investigates the case, but slowly it just gets too silly to believe. Even the scenes in court are mere mockery, and the same goes for everything else, which makes it hard for viewers to take anything seriously. It definitely is a good opportunity lost, where you start to cringe after a point.

Vineeth Sreenivasan adapts to the role with perfection, and such characters suit him. Sreenivasan is decent, and it's always charming to watch yesteryear actors. Shine Tom Chacko is in his usual element, and Malavika Menon is fine in her limited screen time. The romantic track between them comes across as a sore thumb, and featuring them in a romantic song just adds to the runtime, which could have been easily avoided.

A movie like this needs the comedy angles to be strong enough to make you laugh until your stomach aches. Sadly, nothing of that sort happens here, and you only get a few chuckles in a few scenes. Director Jaylal Divakaran's drama is a below-average film that could be watched when you don't have much else to watch.

Directed by Jayalal Divakaran. One time time pass movie. Silly comedy dialogues scenes for all actors. There is death of an instagram influencer, and Vineeth Seeenivasan who is a police officer is investigating it. He fixates on Shine Chacko as the murderer, and creates a story and fake witnesses to make him the culprit. Shine being tech savvy defends his own case. Oo antava vava by Vineeth Sreenivasan, and all his comical scenes, is hilarious. He did really well. Sreenivasan is the usual fake witness for the police: He gets his dues as well at the end. Overall fun for a one time watch. And great to see Vineeth Sreenivasan being comfortable in any role.

I kinda had a good feeling about the movie thinking it's Vineeth Srinivasan and the guy wouldn't go anywhere near a below average movie, Guess I was wrong entirely!!

The script is actually not so bad i would say, but the casting totally ripped it off! A lot , i mean a lot of scenes feel pretty cooked up and the characters are making a fool out of themselves throughout this film. The background scores seem sarcastically funny,maybe the director intended the same. However the dubbing totally went south with the character of shine tom Chacko, the lip movements and the dialogues are totally out of sync like even a kindergartener can figure that out. In many scenes especially on the second half of the movie I felt like shine was pretty much behaving like an MDMA junkie who's about to loose his it. The character enactment by all the peeps on screen are subpar and even a noob film school fresher might have put them to shame. Also no genuine logic applies here on screen while they are trying to show a hacker at play with shine and others. The ip addresses shown are common subnet numbers any tech savvy human can make out also the data recovery screen they show is almost like some stuff from kochu tv.

It's 2023 and they are still doing this!! #facepalm The only thing I liked about the movie was the climax and a lil comic acting from Vineeth for a couple of minutes. I would definitely not encourage anyone to watch this.
