Kurup

Script - 7/10 Direction - 8/10 Acting - 8/10 Cinematography - 9/10 Bgm -10/10

A good entertainer that is a one time watch. Its nothing close to a "masterpiece" or a "cult classic" as the advertisers and the teen kids want you to believe. And its nothing close to a third rate movie as some degraders want you to believe.

As far as the story is concerned its a mix of realilty and fiction. Anyway the overall outline of the story is around 70% real. Do we get to the real Kurup? To some extent, yes we do.

The romantic song is really good. It gets better with each time you listen. The background music is "cult" level. In fact the BGM did a great role in hiding the imperfections in Script and Direction.

The lead lady did a fine job along with Shine Tom Chacko and Indrajith. Dulquer act was the usual, nothing out of box. He still has to go beyond his comfort zone. That doesnt mean he hasnt got his charms. Boy, the guy is extra charming. All I say is he has miles to go ahead in terms of acting.

The pre release over-advertisement of the movie will create many expectations for the audience. So it wouldn't be a surprise if this movie would get mixed reviews.

Overall verdict - A good entertainer for 170rs.

I'M AWARE OF THIS INCIDENT AS IT'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY, THE HUGE CHALLENGE HERE IS HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE WHO KNOW THE ENTIRE STORY, ENGAGED.

MUST SAY THE FILM SURPASSED ALL MY EXPECTATIONS AND TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT CRIME THRILLER.

THE STORY WAS MUCH BEYOND ALL THAT I KNEW, PERSONALLY I FOUND THE FIRST HALF TO BE INTERESTING WHILE SOME AUDIENCE FOUND IT A BIT LAGGY BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SECOND HALF THE FILM IS PHENOMENAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYTHING FROM THE FIRST HALF RELATES AND MAKES SENSE.

A MUST WATCH FILM, AND THIS IS HIGH TIME THAT WE SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY.

Kurup is classy. Kurup is tremendously cinematic rather a true story. Kurup is worth the wait. Kurup is fine with me though I avoid regional movies. Not a documentary style of story telling as some of the fans anticipated. The first half would have been reduced by 25 mins. Second portion is fast paced, well directed and acted by all nicely.

Only one glitch. If you ask me how to pronounce Cheriyanad it will be 'Chernaad' and majority of the locals and family call it "Chernaad" and not Cheriyanad as the writer/director stuck with correct written pronunciation which is not natural. Some sequences in Air Force part is exaggerated and ill conceived.

Also the head of the investigative officers did a tremendous job of trying to nab the real culprit. Then in 1984 till 2005 was a well known figure of the family which the director or the research team is missing or they refused to show it in the film.

There is a scope for a sequel and I call it Alaxander!

So many characters missing. Neither detail about Suresh Kurup who is brother of GK nor the whereabouts of GK's family (wife& kids) after the incident is missing!!

DQ did a tremendous job as a producer and main actor so is Shine who was depicted more of a villain than GK of real story.

Also the murder, investigation and subsequent media frenzy on the family took place when we were just 16. That's almost 38 years ago.

Go and watch it if you missed theatre for two long years👍🏻🙏🏻

This movie is a worth watch first of all it's a based on true story of fugitive sukumara kurup the movie shows very well of negative side of him.technical side of this film is excellent especially bgm and vfx works good making and casting overall it's a worth watch.

Movie making is very good Technically very sound. But first half lags big time until the pre-interval ,The neo noir sceenplay didn't help much but rather its confusing to many. Second half is racy , finishes in no time with more commercial appeal to it. Its a good watch on the whole but if the makers have more concentrated in screenplay of first half with little more detailing with case rather than his love interest it would have been a great watch.
