Theerppu

Tells a biased story about cunning Brahmin betraying innocent Muslim. Look at the first sentence I've written. I can clearly say many gave less rating because of that plot. Everyone becomes separated when it comes to religion. I'm not going into much. Let me discuss about the film. Story was week. Making was great. Acting also was nice. Climax was okay. Too much unwanted scenes which makes audiences to get bored. Lagging, I was time forwarding most of the time. Flashback was too lengthy, which they could've finished within 15 minutes. Although that's it. Making wise I'm satisfied. Highly not recommended but check out if you wish.

**** Theerppu ( Verdict) Movie Review ****

Directed by Rathish Ambat , Penned by Murali Gopy starring Prithviraj Sukumaran , Saiju Kurup, Vijay Babu , Isha Talvar, Indrajith Sukumaran , Hannah Reji Koshy

Verdict of the Movie: An average one time watchable movie... 3/5 ⭐

4 friends meet one night accidentally but that meet is not casual, its a final verdict to be given for a past which adversely changed one of the persons life...

Prithviraj playing as Abdullah Marakkar is a person of drunkard and person of instable person which happened due an adverse past...

Abdullah Marakkar happens to meet his school friends where he decides to give the final verdict for the justice denied for so many years...

1st half of the movie was good enough as it just throws a moment of thrill...

2nd half showcases the tough reply of the victim towards his predators of life...

A different screen play approach of Murali Gopy which reminds me of Brahmaram movie of Mohanlal where an ill-fate incident happened in past and Mohanlal is on a way to bring out the truth & Drishyam 2 where at the end it makes the audience convinced that the biggest punishment of Georgekutty is the constant running from the clutches of the law....

Here, in this movie, I would able to observe that shades as in both the above movies Murali Gopy presence was there so an influencing factor while penning for the screenplay will be obvious...

Rathish Ambat direction was noteworthy... Kamar Sambhavam can be bucketed in mass movie whereas as Theerppu is restricted to a single night story but it was very well executed

All the artists have done their role well.. Its not a Prithviraj movie but still he always delivers a stellar performance....

Overall an one time watchable movie with no compulsion of theatrical experience...

'Theerppu' is certainly NOT everyone's cup of tea.

On the technical side it is a well-shot, well-packaged unconventional revenge drama with an even more unconventional closure.

Coming to the writing, veteran Murali Gopy is going places with his ability to bring the slightest detail in place and deliver some strong political points only a smooth and flawless eye can even spot. I'm a huge fan of "Kammara Sambhavam" and Mollywood's topgrosser "Lucifer", both written by Murali but phenomenally different in genes and genre. This one is yet another mastercraft from the writer.

Filmmaker Rathish Ambat gets things right once again with the help of an experienced crew.

Watch this one on Disney+Hotstar.

Even an acclaimed writer with an ensemble cast cannot get away with trash. The proof is this very movie.

Why Prithviraj would choose to act in such an abysmally plotted script leaves me befuddled.

For a fine actor and one of the flag bearers of Malayalam film industry, to portray that lousy character; lumbering around with his perennial swag and loud mouthing nothings as if they held some deeper meanings only to see everything fall flat when the foolhardy master plan (as if?) is revealed evokes despair as much as astonishment if not a hee-haw as well.

It is indeed trying to sit through this tedious stretch of visuals aimed at but fails incredibly to building a tense narrative; and I'd suggest an evening dine out as a pleasant alternative.

It seems like the creators desperately wants to please a particular set of people. They are behaving like the political parties of kerala.

What did they gain from making such movies?

The story is pathetic. So poorly made and it seems like the writer lost their interest midway and had to somehow finish, wrap up and leave. Can not believe that established and professional actors such as prithviraj has invested time and effort in such flims.

At the end of the film, it left me with a headache.

Waste of 2 and half hours, which never can be undone.

So, please don't make the same mistake and skip it.
