Star Cast | Dulquer Salman , Sukumaran |

Mollywood star Dulquer Salmaan and actress Sobhita Dhulipala’s Kurup has caught the audience attention with its promotional stuff. Directed by Srinath Rajendran, the film had a simultaneous release in Telugu with the same title. Let’s analyze it.
The film explores the crime world of a notorious criminal named Sudhakar Kurup. What are Kurup’s crime activities? What kind of challenges will Kerala police undergo to track Kurup’s identity? Forms the main USB of the film.
On-screen performances:
Dulquer Salmaan potrayed the role of Sudhakar Kurup effortlessly. His commanble performance and outstanding screen presence as a fugitive adds so much of depth to the proceedings. In one word, his presence brings authentic flavour to this crime drama.
Sobhita Dhulipala is alright in her prominent role as Dulquer’s wife. Other actors such as Indrajith Sukumaran, Shine Tom Chacko, Sunny Wayne and Bharath Niwas are apt in their respective supporting roles.
Off-screen talents:
Music by Sushin Shyam is a backbone for this period crime thriller. While his songs are situational and passable on the screen, Sushin’s background score elevates the mood of the film in an effective manner.
Cinematography by Nimish Ravi is outstanding as he tried to bring the required rustic texture on the screen with his lighting setup. Story by Jithin K Jose is simple but has novelty.
Screenplay and dialogues written by KS Aravind and Daniell Sayooj registers well.
Editing by Vivek Harshan is slick. Production values by this Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer films banner are good.
Positive Points:
Negative Points:
In an overview, set in early 70s time period, Kurup showcases the crime world of a runaway army man, who eventually turns as a notorious criminal. While Dulquer Salmaan’s acting and his mannerisms are a treat to watch on the screen, director Srinath Rajendran’s execution will impress the audience big-time. If you love watching crime dramas, Kurup will end up as a satisfactory watch for sure.

Superb awesome performance by Dulquer Salman
I dont know how this movie is getting positive reviews. The storyline is very average and simple no complete explanation is given of his misdeeds... Sometimes you feel rushed.... Only saving grace is Dulqar.

Dulquer Salmaan uses his looks and charm not to make us like the lead, but to establish him as a deceptively likeable and restless rascal, a smooth operator who can worm his way into anyone’s affections.
Language: Malayalam
It goes without saying that Kurup is speculative. This biopic of one of India’s most wanted criminals, Sukumara Kurup , winds its way through chapters of the man’s life about which there is little or no public record. The crime that put him on the map took place in 1984, but director Srinath Rajendran travels back to a time well before that in the 1960s when the protagonist in his youth began showing early signs of his penchant for deception, and stays with him much after, making sensational, even amusingly outlandish, assumptions about his deeds while on the run.
The real Sukumara Kurup is accused of having murdered a man and faked his own death to claim insurance in the 1980s. The scenes in Kurup covering the horrific actions that got him on the police’s radar are neatly handled. This was not a dreaded gangster, but a regular chap who did something terrible. That is perhaps why he has captured the imagination of both the public and filmmakers, the last one being none other than Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner Adoor Gopalakrishnan whose Pinneyum (Malayalam, 2016) was loosely inspired by Sukumara Kurup’s story.
Pinneyum worked in parts, but Kurup has greater clarity in its assessment of the protagonist’s character. The casting of the hero contributes considerably to that clarity. Dulquer Salmaan – also the film’s producer – is blessed with more handsomeness than any single human being should be allowed to monopolise in a just world. He uses his looks and charm not to make us like the lead, but to establish him as a deceptively likeable and restless rascal, a smooth operator who can worm his way into anyone’s affections, tell a bare-faced lie without a flicker of an eyelid, reveal little about himself to most people and change colours in an instant. This would explain why so many people risked so much to help him escape the law.
He is not all black and white, but a fellow with shades of gray, as we realise when we see him try to exert his class and caste privilege over a young woman (Sobhita Dhulipala), but back off when she challenges him. The question before the newspaper-reading public in real life is: is Sukumara Kurup dead or alive?
The film adds a lot more to the lore surrounding Kurup.
Srinath Rajendran takes us through his leading man’s brief stint with the Indian Air Force as a youngster and an oil company in the Gulf region. In a bid to reveal information about Kurup only in increments, the script ends up taking surprisingly long – almost an hour – to get to the point. It is the director’s good fortune that he has such a charismatic cast (Dulquer, Indrajith Sukumaran playing the policeman who spent years hunting for Kurup, and a personable Sunny Wayne as the central character’s IAF colleague) to hold viewer interest through this dry first half filled with needless embellishments including one in which Dulquer metamorphoses into a stage performer – the song he sings is fun, but the scene itself is strangely conceived and feels contrived. When the film finally picks up, it becomes gripping, as new pieces are added to the puzzle and a clear picture gradually, very gradually, emerges of what exactly happened that fateful night when a man was murdered simply to assuage another man’s greed.
After that once again, the director opts for too many broad brush strokes over specifics, but not so much as to make the film entirely uninteresting.
Kurup is not a great film, but it is definitely an entertaining one with attractive visuals, music, production design and period costumes to boot. To be considered anything more than that, it needed to be more compact, fix that over-stretched opening hour along with its superfluous elements and, among other things, to better handle the multiple languages in the narrative as it travels from Kerala to Maharashtra to Madhya Pradesh and elsewhere. Instead, the mix never becomes a convincing blend. The use of English and Hindi in particular are awkward because the English lines are poorly written and the Hindi comes often from actors who are clearly not accustomed to the language but are meant to sound as if they are.
This is an ambitious, multi-strand saga with aspirations to Malik -grade grandeur and scale, but without the finesse or detailing to match up to Mahesh Narayanan’s vision. Nevertheless, it has just enough flesh to draw us into the life of an individual who has eluded the law for over three decades and cast members (including the wonderful Surabhi Lakshmi and Tovino Thomas in significant roles) who elevate the film beyond where the writing takes it.
This review was first published when Kurup was released in theatres on 12 November, 2021. Update on 15 December, 2021: the film is now on Netflix.
Rating: 2.75/5

Srinath rajendran’s period drama stars dulquer salmaan as the notorious escape artist..
Sukumara Kurup, accused of murder, identity theft and insurance fraud in Kerala in the 1980s but never arrested, has exercised enough of a hold on the imagination to inspire countless theories and at least three Malayalam movies. The latest, Kurup , stars Dulquer Salmaan as a fashion-forward escape artist and criminal mastermind.
The two previous movies about Sukumara Kurup have scripted their own conclusions to his open case file. In NH-47 (1984), Kurup is attacked by a mob before the police can arrest him. In Pinneyum (2016), Kurup undergoes plastic surgery but then kills himself out of guilt and remorse.
The latest outing, directed by Srinath Rajendran, based on a story by Jithin Jose and written by KS Arvind and Daniell Sayooj Nair, has the most fanciful proposition of them all. It belongs to a comic book rather than a supposedly serious chronicle. Coming towards the end of 165 minutes, this latest theory is delivered with maximum speed and minimum conviction, as though the makers know that it makes no sense.
The handsomely produced and slickly narrated thriller maintains some curiosity about Kurup’s real self before abandoning the pursuit. It’s suggested that Kurup, also known as Gopikrishnan, started out young. In the hope that military discipline will straighten out his crookedness, Gopi’s family persuades him to enrol in the Indian Air Force in a non-combatant position. Instead, Kurup finds new ways to feed his love for the good life.
Through flashbacks (and flashbacks within flashbacks) and voiceovers by different characters, an attempt is made to create a complex portrait. If Kurup’s air force buddy Peter (Sunny Wayne) knows him as a fun-loving and risk-taking chap, his wife Sharda (Sobhita Dhulipala) sees the amorous and caring side.
These early, and engaging, portions provide peeks into Kurup’s inner life. His rich mop of product-protected hair, colourful shirts and finely crafted moustache (which he holds on to even in disguise) suggest a vain and flamboyant man whose reach exceeds his grasp. Kurup’s derring-do and disregard for authority are evident during his stint in the air force.
But we closer we get to the crime that earns Kurup his notoriety, the further we move away from plausibility. The hunt for Kurup is appetising enough, but the awaited feast never arrives. In the absence of a credible explanation for Kurup’s ability to evade capture for decades, Rajendran comes up with a hypothesis that belongs in the realm of imagination rather than in a movie inspired by actual events.
Dulquer Salmaan, who has also co-produced the film, gives us some measure of how Kurup persuaded others to join him in his exploits. Salmaan lays on the charm thick and then limns it with nastiness, but he is unable to overcome the limited character graph and messy post-interval writing.
Kurup ’s other star is the impressive period production design by Bangalan. In a movie that hovers mostly on the surface, there are times when Bangalan appears to be working the hardest to make the scenes stand out.
Except for Shine Tom Chacko, as a permanently drunk and venal associate, nobody else in the cast leaves an impression. Krishnadas’s obsession with Kurup is only one of the many unexplored aspects of the case, leaving Indrajith Sukumaran with little to do.
Perhaps the worst-served is Sobhita Dhulipala’s Sharda. Although the shy and submissive Sharda displays a bit of spine during her early interactions with Kurup, she simply vanishes from the later portions, a bit like her scheming husband.
What does Sharda make of her husband’s increasingly shady antics and his transformation from loving partner into globe-trotting criminal genius? It’s a mystery, like the enduring fascination with Sukumara Kurup.
Kerala Police’s most successful failure’: What drew ‘Kurup’ director to a legendary murder case
OUR RATING 2.75/5
CENSOR 2h 36m, ‘U/A’ Certified.
What Is the Film About?
Gopikrishna Kurup, aka Sudhakar Kurup (Dulquer Salman), is mischief from the beginning. He later becomes a thief and then a smuggler and finally takes it to the international level. All this while, a sincere cop Krishna Das is chasing him.
Kurup tells the thief’s story from the perspective of the police, who dedicates years to catch him. He writes down everything in a diary. What are its revelations, and how did Kurup’s story end is the movie’s plot.
Performances Dulquar Salman plays a character that puts to use all his charm. He is seen in stylish costumes and dons various looks. He pulls off everything with ease.
The different looks are mostly to do with many moustaches and hairstyles. It is a walk in the park for him.
The brilliance lies in the simplicity of it all without going overboard. There are no deep emotional sequences or one-on-one challenges – everything is done subtly and with intensity. More than the performance, therefore, the challenge lies in the execution with Kurup.
Analysis Srinath Rajendran directs Kurup. It is based on a real-life most wanted criminal and fugitive, Sukumara Kurup. In Telugu, he is rechristened as Sudhakar Kurup. The film’s story is a biography of the criminal from his early days to the last known update.
The pace of the film is slow, and it is set in the opening few minutes itself. However, it is not an issue as one would lose track of the proceedings if it were done fast. There is so much content packed within the two and half hour duration. But, most of it is narrated captivatingly using the non-linear screenplay effectively.
The story tracks the journey of Kurup right from his early days at an Indian Airforce Training centre. The friendship with Peter is neatly established. However, it takes time to get to the point as some parts seem unnecessarily adding to the length. The same issues continue overall, even though one can say it adds to an emotional roundup.
The first half of the movie is seen from an external perspective on Kurup. It starts with his friend, and then others add to it. We see progress in the story with an element of suspense as nothing is known from the side of Kurup. The interval block is more like a pause in that regard rather than an actual one.
The story resumes in the second half, building on the intrigue from other perspectives. And then finally, in the last three-quarters or so, we see the Kurup’s side for all the events that have occurred. It is here that all the clarity to the doubts and confusions are laid to rest.
The recollecting of the same incidents from a different perspective is superbly handled. A few blocks are terrific and add mightily to the thrill. The whole hotel escape sequence, for example, is fantastic.
However, some bits at the same time appear muddy, lacking clarity or with extreme cinematic liberty. It is despite the best efforts by the makers to spell everything out. As there is too much happening, some events seem to be glossed over for a crisp narrative. It leads to a leap of faith in logic, in parts.
The climax is part of the muddled narrative. Its highlight is registered, but the lack of detailing (the how and the why’s) lead to little convolution and confusion. The recounting of the boat sequence has too much of a suspension of disbelief.
Overall, Kurup is a stylishly mounted crime biopic that delivers. Its stunning technical work overpowers the flaws and makes for an engrossing watch. If you want to watch something unique and engaging, Kurup is the movie this weekend.
Sobhita Dhulipala & Others?
Apart from Dulquar Salman , everyone else plays a supporting role in the movie. They appear in different stages of the life of Kurup, barring the police officer part essayed by Indrajith Sukumaran. He plays a sincere cop to perfection. However, too of it also makes it a little formulaic as far as the act is considered.
Shine Tom Chacko easily stands out among the crowd. He does his part well, as is expected from him and gives it a slight edge too. Sobhita Dhulipala is okay in a role that offers a romantic digression to the story. Sunny Wayne has a good role that ends abruptly, though. Tovino Thomas and Anupama Parameswaran in cameos add glitz to the casting besides doing their parts earnestly.
Music and Other Departments?
Sushin Shyam does the music and background score. The songs are alright, and they are few, but it’s the BGM that’s excellent. It lifts the mood of the film consistency and gives a racy feel throughout. The cinematography by Nimish Ravi is brilliant. Many frames appear like a painting capturing the various shades and colours of the bygone era. The editing by Vivek Harshan is fine, overall. The writing is neat and to the point most of the time.
Highlights? Dulquer Salman
Cinematography
Some Muddy Parts
Missing Logic (Cinematic Liberties) At Times
Alternative Take
Kurup could do well with a leaner first act and adding some details in the final one if length were an issue. It would have made it more engrossing.
Did I Enjoy It? Yes for the most part
Will You Recommend It? Yes
Kurup Review by Siddartha Toleti
Director Srinath Rajendran's 'Kurup', which looks to narrate the story of Sudhakara Kurup, a man believed to be Kerala's most elusive criminal, is a lavishly made, slow-moving investigative thriller that ends up leaving you with more questions than answers.
Kurup's story is told through the jottings in the diary of a police officer Krishnadas (Played by Indrajith Sukumaran), who has just retired.
We are introduced to Gopikrishnan Pillai (played by Dulquer Salmaan), a street-smart opportunist with swag and a wicked sense of humour. The picaresque hero from a little known place in Kerala makes his way into the Indian Air Force and is stationed at Chennai in the 1960s, where he sees an opportunity to make money by selling alcohol, meant for Indian Air Force personnel, in black.
When he gets to understand how much he can make through the backdoor, he widens his scope and begins selling other items, including footwear meant for air force personnel to those outside the force.
The station head, who understands Gopikrishnan's crooked nature well, has him transferred to Bombay in the hope that the strict in-charge there will set him straight. In Bombay, the man is made a store assistant, more as a punishment than anything else.
However, Gopikrishnan Pillai sees an opportunity here as well and in place of alcohol, starts selling arms and ammunition. At one point, when the entries in the registry don't add up, Gopikrishanan is hauled up and asked to explain. That puts him in a spot. The smart cookie that he is, Gopikrishnan Pillai goes on sick leave for a month and heads back to his native place in Kerala, where he stages his own death to fool the IAF.
Having done that, he assumes a new name, Sudhakara Kurup, and gets down to do dirty work. What he does then is what primarily gets him into trouble and makes him a fugitive...
The story of Sudhakara Kurup is narrated in a non-linear fashion, which is to say the story's developments aren't told to us in a sequence. The story moves back and forth, shifting focus to different events at different points in Kurup's life and narrated from different perspectives.
The first half of the film progresses at a gentle pace, showcasing a mischevious and bold individual who even has one or two good traits.
For instance, Kurup does not ditch Sharadha, the girl who falls in love with him. Unmindful of the pressing and difficult circumstances he finds himself in, he makes his way back to Bombay to find her and take her abroad.
The first half is so slow that by the time it ends, you begin to wonder why is a man who is wanted in just one murder case considered such a big criminal.
The answer to that question lies in the second half, which, however, seems to narrate events in a rush. What the first half lacks, the second has in excess.
It's almost like a student who has been writing an exam at a gentle, steady pace, suddenly realising that he has a lot of questions to answer and very little time to finish.
In the process, what we have are sequences that narrate the story in a hurry. As a result, you end up with a number of unanswered questions, giving you a sense of dissatisfaction.
To be fair to 'Kurup', the film has its share of pluses as well.
Dulquer Salmaan as Gopikrishnan Pillai a.k.a. Sudhakara Kurup is just brilliant. From the moment he appears on screen, Dulquer commands your attention, easily slipping into the skin of the character. Be it crime or comedy or for that matter, romance, the guy is equally at ease.
Equally impressive is Indrajith Sukumaran, who plays police officer Krishnadas. Two other people whose performances stand out are Shine Tom Chacko and Bharath.
Nimish Ravi's visuals are a delight to watch. The lighting, the tone and the angles set for the shots are all just brilliant.
Recreating a different era is no joke and the team of 'Kurup' seems to have done an outstanding job in this regard too. Be it the mid-sixties, when the story starts, or the seventies or for that matter, 2005, every era is just perfectly showcased. Be it the mannerisms of people, buildings, dressing styles or vehicles used, everything seems to be in place.
There is so much effort that seems to have gone into this project that 'Kurup' ends up coming across as a film that so desperately wants to meet our huge expectations. However, sadly, it falls short of doing so.

జోసీ నేపథ్యం, స్నేహితుల కోసం అతడు ఎంతకైనా తెగించే తీరు వంటి సన్నివేశాలతో రొటీన్ కథగా సినిమాను మొదలుపెట్టాడు దర్శకుడు. జోసీ చెన్నై వెళ్లిన తర్వాతే అసలు కథ మొదలవుతుంది. ప్రభుత్వాన్ని సైతం శాసించే శక్తి గల వెట్రివేల్ షణ్ముగం (రాజ్ బి.శెట్టి) పాత్ర కథలో ప్రవేశించిన తర్వాత సినిమా ఒక డిఫరెంట్ మోడ్లో సాగుతుంది. ఒకట్రెండు సీన్స్ ద్వారా వెట్రివేల్ క్రూరత్వాన్ని చూపించిన తీరు ఒళ్లు గగరుపొడుస్తుంది. బ్యాంకుల్లో ఉన్న వేల కోట్ల రూపాయలను తన ఖాతాల్లోకి మళ్లించడానికి వెట్రివేల్ ఎంచుకున్న దారి సరికొత్తగా ఉంటుంది. దర్శకుడు ఆ పాయింట్ను చాలా కన్విన్సింగ్గా చూపించాడు. ఆ కాన్సెప్టే చాలా కొత్తగా ఉంటుంది. ఇప్పటివరకూ ఎవరూ టచ్ చేయని, ఓ సరికొత్త సైబర్ క్రైమ్ను దర్శకుడు తీసుకొని దాన్ని అంతే ఆసక్తికరంగా తీర్చిదిద్దడం విశేషం.
జెర్రీ హత్య వెనుక వెట్రివేల్ ఉన్నాడని తెలిసిన తర్వాత జోసీ ఆడే ఆట మరింత ఆసక్తికరంగా ఉంటుంది. ఇక్కడినుంచి మూవీ మొత్తం ఫుల్ యాక్షన్ మోడ్లో సాగుతుంది. జోసీ, వెట్రివేల్ ఫేస్ టు ఫేస్ సీన్స్, ఆ నేపథ్యంలో వచ్చే యాక్షన్స్ డిజైన్ చేసిన విధానం చాలా డిఫరెంట్గా ఉంది. తెరపై ఆ సీన్స్ ఒక ఫీస్ట్. ఇంత సీరియస్ మోడ్లోనూ మధ్యలో జోసీకి, వాళ్ల అమ్మకూ మధ్య జరిగే సంభాషణలు మాత్రం నవ్వులు పంచుతాయి. హీరోయిజాన్ని ఎలివేట్ చేస్తూ సాగే ఇలాంటి కథల్లో లాజిక్స్ వెతక్కూడదు. కానీ, క్లైమాక్స్లో ఊహించని ట్విస్ట్ ఇచ్చి, సీక్వెల్కు బాటలు వేశాడు దర్శకుడు. అసలు తిమింగలం ఎవరన్నది చాలా ఆసక్తి రేకెత్తించేలా ముగించిన తీరు బాగుంది.
ఏ పాత్ర ఇచ్చినా పరకాయ ప్రవేశం చేయడం మమ్ముట్టిలాంటి నటులకు నటనతో పెట్టిన విద్య. జోసీ పాత్రలో అవుట్ అండ్ అవుట్ ఎంటర్టైన్మెంట్తో పాటు, యాక్షన్ హంగామాతోనూ అదరగొట్టారు. ఇక ఈ మూవీలో ఆయన్ను ఢీకొట్టే వెట్రివేల్ పాత్రలో రాజ్ బి.శెట్టి నటన హైలైట్. దర్శకుడి ఎంపిక సరైనదని నిరూపించారు. సునీల్ నటన, ఆయన టైమింగ్ కూడా చక్కటి వినోదాన్ని పంచింది. మిగిలినవాళ్లెవరూ తెలుగు వారికి తెలియదు. అయినా వాళ్ల పాత్రల్లో ఒదిగిపోయారు. సాంకేతికంగా సినిమా బాగుంది. అన్ని విభాగాలు సమష్టిగా రాణించాయి. ముఖ్యంగా హీరోయిజాన్ని ఎలివేట్ చేయడంలో యాక్షన్ కొరియోగ్రఫీ అద్భుతంగా ఉంది.
కుటుంబంతో చూడొచ్చా: ఎలాంటి ఇబ్బంది లేకుండా చూడొచ్చు. తెలుగు ఆడియోలోనూ సోనీలివ్లో అందుబాటులో ఉంది

Kurup movie review: With an engaging narrative style, Dulquer Salmaan's conman saga is thoroughly entertaining. The structure of the film is almost like a puzzle, where each chapter is a jigsaw piece and the audience has to assemble it from the information provided to finally figure out the mind of the man. 4/5.
Im not giving anything away when I say that at one point in Kurup, Sudhakara Kurup (Dulquer Salmaan) assumes a name shared by an iconic character played by Mammootty in the 90s. So, in my mind ...
The only drawback is the juggling narration that lagged in the first half. At a run-time of two hours and 30 minutes, the movie would have benefitted some more if edited tighter. If you are still debating on watching this movie on the big scree, I recommend you to grab a ticket at the earliest. The BGM, songs and setting of the movie is perfect ...
While Dulquer Salmaan's acting and his mannerisms are a treat to watch on the screen, director Srinath Rajendran's execution will impress the audience big-time. If you love watching crime dramas, Kurup will end up as a satisfactory watch for sure. Telugubulletin.com Rating: 3/5. Mollywood star Dulquer Salmaan and actress Sobhita Dhulipala's ...

Language: Malayalam . It goes without saying that Kurup is speculative. This biopic of one of India's most wanted criminals, Sukumara Kurup, winds its way through chapters of the man's life about which there is little or no public record.The crime that put him on the map took place in 1984, but director Srinath Rajendran travels back to a time well before that in the 1960s when the ...
The two previous movies about Sukumara Kurup have scripted their own conclusions to his open case file. In NH-47 (1984), Kurup is attacked by a mob before the police can arrest him.
Srinath Rajendran directs Kurup. It is based on a real-life most wanted criminal and fugitive, Sukumara Kurup. In Telugu, he is rechristened as Sudhakar Kurup. The film's story is a biography of the criminal from his early days to the last known update. The pace of the film is slow, and it is set in the opening few minutes itself.
Kurup's story is told through the jottings in the diary of a police officer Krishnadas (Played by Indrajith Sukumaran), who has just retired. We are introduced to Gopikrishnan Pillai (played by Dulquer Salmaan), a street-smart opportunist with swag and a wicked sense of humour. The picaresque hero from a little known place in Kerala makes his ...
