Chaappa Kurish

This movie is a rip-off from Korean film Handphone (2009). Unlicensed copy. No rights from the original obtained before ripping off the plot directly. So...what effort?

Before beginning i personally appreciate the Sameer thahir(Director) for bringing such unconventional attempt which is first in our mollywood. Coming to script-cannot claim it as a flawless but let us appreciate the effort for their audacity. Script is mediocre but what makes it more interesting and engaging is our actors and mind-blowing cinematography by Jomon.T.john. Fahad as a rookie actor shows his mettle and scintillating performance which will be remember as is best and other actors like Vineeth had done a commendable job, special mention to Remya nambeeshan, Nivedita has nothing to do much. Songs were average. What stands above all is the Climax-climax is probably the best made/executed ever and cinematography was just par excellence. Climax shots were just like real footage or like any hidden camera shots, never seen in any movie this kind of camera-work, we can easily see the Fahad vindictive expression and he had performed it meticulously and Vineeth role was his career best.

Watch out for Fahad,Jomon john camera-work and best shot climax ever.

I'll like to rate it 7.1/10

Well, it hurts to say that I saw this movie in an almost empty theater. This movie could be included in the category of those which are trying to make a so called 'new wave' in Malayalam cinema. But I should say it went a little overboard. This movie may not please the average malayali cine buff. He may find it a little too raw and stylish.

The main characters Arjun and Ansari are played well by Fahad Fazil and Vineeth Sreenivasan respectively. Ample backup is given by Remya Nambeesan. The music by Rex Vijayan is passable. The highlight of the film is the impressive camera work and the fight sequence.

This movie is surely a deviation from the normal clichéd Malayalam movies but there was scope for much more from the story. Such movies may not be groundbreaking or trend setting but it sure does pave the way for future ones. Hats off to the director Sameer Thahir for bravely handling a sensitive storyline like Chappa Kurishu.
