Uppu Kappurambu

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.

This movie takes a little time to draw you in, but as a fan of The Office, I didn't mind the gradual setup. Once it finds its rhythm, the music makes a striking entrance, almost as if you're watching a play where the score itself is narrating the story.

In a world dominated by the action sequences, enhanced by seamless CGI and VFX, this movie feels so refreshing-like a cool breeze in the world of ACs. While this genre is packed with similar films, this one confidently earns its place among them.

I thoroughly enjoyed the film-the characters were vibrant and lived up to their potential, keeping the fun alive from start to finish. Beyond the entertainment, it offers a subtle yet thoughtful commentary on modern-day mindsets, something worth reflecting on. Technically, the film is polished, with no compromises in execution.

Rana's narration in the beginning was particularly engaging, setting the tone perfectly. The storytelling, backed by Vivek Sagar's brilliant work, shines throughout. The entire cast delivered, bringing the crew's vision to life with authenticity.

You'll find yourself smiling through most of the film, but by the end, there's a lingering weight-a bittersweet touch that stays with you.

A well-crafted blend of humor, action, and heart-definitely worth a watch!

Fresh and unique concept Comedy and emotions worked well, movie carries a meaningful message without feeling forced.

This time, Keerthy Suresh took on a different role and did great Suhas was very natural and impressive as always All the senior actors also did a good job and added strength to the storytelling

Good direction and screenplay that keeps the film engaging throughout.

One interesting fact I known, entire film was shot in just 28 days out of that, Keerthy was on set for 18 days and Suhas for 20 days

Overall, UppuKappurambu is a feel good movie with the right mix of fun, emotion and message.

A rural story set in an earlier period, featuring a woman as the lead who becomes the leader of a village and resolves a problem. The main conflict arises when a shortage of burial space in the village graveyard enters the plot, and the solution stands out because it goes against the village's traditions. The plot goes as finding solution to the problem. A slow run story, but this film might not disappoint viewers looking for a fresh or engaging story. It's a decent film that stands on uniqueness of different characters and keeps engaging in unexpected scenes. This movie successfully balances entertainment and depth, would be better if the beginning scenes shorten.
