Review‘Kurukkan’ is not poorly made. The scenes are straightforward, and at a little more than two hours, the script is not boring at all. But the writing fails in stretching out the idea.Of late, with merely a handful of movies, Vineeth Sreenivasan has made it clear that he is a tremendous performer, with a range you may not believe possible based on his off-screen soft persona. He appears to specialise in roles with a dose of villainy mixed with a lot of humour. But the humour does not always work for no fault of his, as in the case of Kurukkan, his latest film which has him in the role of a police officer, who keeps becoming the laughing stock in the force. Vineeth does not hold back, he throws his body about, unafraid to be loud or slapstick-level comical. Unfortunately, the making does not help his act.

ReviewBiju Menon, Padmapriya, Nimisha Sajayan and Roshan Mathew are wonderful in the film, which loses some appeal due to its storytelling.CrisFrom the top of a 250-metre high lighthouse on the beach, all of a little town in South Kerala could be seen, says the narrator of Oru Thekkan Thallu Case. Inside the tower then, on cue, appears the cartoon figure of Biju Menon. A nice little animation introduces the characters of the town in the titles before the film opens. The situation is made clear in a few scenes — Biju Menon is Amminipilla, a sort of hero figure in the town whom no one wants to mess with. A gang of five young men are pitted against him for many reasons. The film, based on a short story by Gr Indugopan, revolves around this rivalry, set against a beautiful rustic background, but lacking in storytelling quality. It is director Sreejith N’s first film.
