The story revolves around a boy named Guppy who finds his living out of rearing and selling the small fish Guppy. Guppy has this dream of buying an automatic wheel chair for his ailing mother.

All characters in this movie will remain in our hearts for a while and all characters have some important role too... In this movie we can see the amazing cinematography, super bgm scores and good songs.. I promise you, this movie will get into your favourite movies list..

The story revolves around a boy nicknamed as Guppy(a kind of fish) played by Chethan Jayalal. The movie invites us to travel through his life, his affection with his mother, friends and many more people who love him. With the introduction of the engineer(Tovino Thomas) into the plot, events take a turn. The main strength of this movie are its characters. They are like perfectly carved sculptures. Even the characters appearing in one or two scenes have their own importance. Music suits the process of story telling perfectly. The performances by all artists were excellent. The director(and writer) Johnpaul George should be appreciated for handling this story that glides through various emotions and situations with exceptional skill. "Guppy" makes you think, feel and will remain in your mind for quite some time.

I was one of the lucky few who watched this jem at theatres.

I watched it simply because it was the next show upcoming when I went to a mall and wanted to kill some time. So I had no expectations and have not heard anything about the movie ( promotions sadly were almost non existing for this movie).

Boy was I blown away ! The score, music, script, acting, realistic and down to earth story !

Sad very few got to experience this in its full glory at theatres ( since the movie became a hit only after DVD came out )

A movie with substance. Many of us will find ourselves in each one of the main characters. People whom we often perceive as bad, are not necessarily bad in reality. When driven by the harsh realities of life, we often come across negatively in the eyes of people around us. The storyline conveyed this message beautifully with its three main characters. Script was good and songs were beautiful. Enjoyed cinematography thoroughly. Each frame of the movie had shades orange and blue; formed something sort of a theme. Very good acting by Tovino Thomas and Chethan Jayalal. Great work by director John Paul George and team. Wish there were more movies of this genre.

This movie flew under the radar when it came out, but it's a lovely little tale on the human psyche without ever getting preachy or manipulative in its storytelling. The child actor Chetan brilliantly portrays growing pains of a boy who despite the tough lot life appears to have handed him, still manages to find love, laughter and fun in his surroundings. The tussle of wits that he engages in with the recently arrived engineer (Tovino) is the plot point, but it serves more as a window into exploring the souls and lives of these two disparate characters. Add some amazing cinematography into the mix and it's no wonder this is one of the best of the year
