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.

Kurukkan (2023)

A police officer try to frame a innocent paper boy but it's not workout... Because that paper boy seems good hacker and intelligent soo it backfires to him... Good story and poor execution... One time watchable movie..!

Other review... A self deprecating police officer who is down on luck and hasn't had any career promotion's tries to frame an innocent to make fame, but it backfires on him.

"oola" film like the name of one of the characters. Very bad film making. There is nothing good about this movie especially with such a star cast. Over acting by everyone - guess they were made to. Court scenes very similar to the ones in the recent movies. Looks like they were "inspired" by lot of movies. Waste of time, money and effort.

The film reminded us a lot of 'Mukundan Unni Associates', where a struggling main character uses cunning means to make it in life.

Hence, there was sadly nothing extraordinary

DELICIOUS

-As expected, Vineeth does not disappoint when it comes to being the comedian. He always delivers the funniest lines with a straight face😆

It was nice to see Srikant Murali in a comic role!

-Impeccable work done on the sound effects which accentuated inspector Dinesh's numerous mishaps

BLAND

-Kurukkan had several long scenes; e.g, the opening courtroom scene took about 20 min; even though this was meant to introduce Sreenivasan's character, it felt very tedious and could have been done differently

As a result, we weren't well directed as the focus was placed on areas that didn't matter much

-It wasn't Shine Chacko's best rendition. His appearance was sloppy, he looked tired, and wasn't as memorable as he usually is

-Overall, there wasn't much to take from the film. It was the common mischievous scheme to win a court case. There were unfortunately no sizzling elements that made it fascinating.

The movie falls somewhere between good and bad. It has noticeable direction flaws and even experienced actors deliver subpar performances. The script lacks originality, and when compared to "Mukundan Unni Associates," it falls short in greatness.

Nevertheless, it's a decent watch. In the last few minutes, Vineeth Sreenivasan nailed the entire show with his humorous mannerisms, and Sreenivasan, known for his witty dialogues, makes a commendable return to Malayalam cinema. It's heartwarming to see father and son sharing the screen.

All in all, it's not a terrible choice for a movie night. Keep your expectations in check and enjoy it as a time-killer.
