Theerppu

One more movie with a touch of propaganda against Hindus especially higher caste . Actor saiju kuruppu who does a role of a higher caste potty is trolled and name shamed in the movie . Also this movie shows that female entrepreneurs or wife's of male entrepreneurs promote their ventures by "honey" trapping affluent business men . Lol the museum scenes were the biggest joke. Mocked North Indians , Arnab Goswami and showed as Hindus illegally occupying properties of mslims. Lol , it's there reverse that's happening in reality with fundings from Middle East . Only positive in this movie was Indrajit's cameo appearance. Avoid it.

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.

**** 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...

Imagine you are passionate about something. You need to put your best foot forward to make more people take part in your passion/cause. But then you go ahead and write a film that turns people off your cause. Your writing is so cringe inducing that the film does not even survive in the movie halls. Despite the huge star cast. The dialogs were unbearable. Every single character was a caricature. It makes me ill to even write this review. I cannot believe so many talented actors where wasted in a piece of crap like this. And those sets! What were they thinking? Who agreed to produce this project? Murali Gopy is like a traitor to the cause or passion or propaganda he was trying to peddle through this movie. I am not sure why he even bothered. He is like a bad marketing manager trying to sell his product. I cannot think of a worse analogy. This film is that bad. It is a torture. I fell asleep.

Not a fun film, the film tries portray a certain high class life, and pettiness that some of them carry. The recently found out mollywood predator was a good choice for the character, cause the stories about him and the character in the film seemed so in sync. So the film has a true seed in character development. I don't know if fanboys/girls will attempt to put a philosophical lens to film, and will try to rescue the film by giving a cult status. If they do, I hope no one will fall for it.
