Kurup, directed by Srinath Rajendran, whose debut directorial Second Show (2012) introduced Dulquer, the handsome son of superstar Mammootty, to the big movie world, is the dramatisation of the life of Sukumara Kurup, the infamous Malayali fugitive, who, in 1984, burned to death a young film representative, and faked his own death to evade the police.

After two rough years, the Malayalam film industry has been seeing some light in 2022. Many big-budget movies and small-scale films have released in theatres over the last five months. Films like Bheeshma Parvam, Hridayam, and Jana Gana Mana turned out to be the biggest grossers at the box office, while others such as Oruthee, Pada, and Jo and Jo were received well by both critics and the audiences.
Contrary to reports, Beast, the Vijay starrer that released on Wednesday, has been a profitable venture for theatre owners, Tirupur Subramaniam, president of the Tamil Nadu Theatres Association, told Silverscreen India.
The last two years saw the Hindi film industry not being able to create much stir at the box office barring a few films like Sooryavanshi and Gangubai Kathiawadi that helped it get back on its feet post the pandemic. Cut to the present, the Hindi versions of pan-Indian films like KGF: Chapter 2 and RRR are the ones breaking box office records and bringing in huge footfalls.
Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2 has been helping cinemas flood with moviegoers as the film as seen record-breaking numbers since its release on April 14. The Hindi dub of the film alone has managed to earn Rs 43-44 crore (nett) on Friday. This takes the collection of the first two days to around Rs 96 crore (nett).
The Indian film industry is fully on the way to a revival after the long lull due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. This week, Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2 released and has received a record-breaking response from the audience. Meanwhile, the previous pan-Indian release RRR refuses to back down and is still earning good numbers even in its fourth week. However, Vijay’s Tamil film Beast has slumped at the box office since its opening day.
With the decline in Covid-19 cases in Kerala and the subsequent theatrical release of several Malayalam films, the cinema and theatre businesses in the state seems to be on the path to revival.
Nigam has been playing the unhappy, emotionally-damaged millennial in film after film – Kumbalangi Nights, Parava, Valiya Perunnal, Bhoothakalam – creating a stereotypical image that, sometimes, spills into the yellow columns about him.There is hip music and a visual texture that looks contemporary, but the film’s breeziness comes across as forced, unlike in movies like Parava or Kumbalangi Nights.
Vijay’s Beast, which hit theatres on Wednesday, has reportedly collected around Rs 34 to 36 crore (gross), at the Tamil Nadu box office on its first day.
From Ranjith’s own Tamil films to the Hindi film Article 15, based on 2014 Badaun gang-rape allegations and 2016 Una flogging, several movies have highlighted caste oppression and portrayed the lives of people from marginalised communities.The film follows the life of a young girl Yosana (Ajmina Kassim) from the Puthirai Vannaar caste, and tells the tale of how she becomes immortalised as the local deity Maadathy after a traumatic incident.
Some character quirks are well written — Vijay dropping all for a crying child is endearingly done — but for the love of God, I can’t understand how Nelson sold this film to Pooja Hegde. “Listen, you’ve to be there in two songs, look like a deer caught in headlights, feel jealous even in a hostage situation. That’s all. ” Like Instagram’s Satshyaa would say, “Easy!
