ReviewAt 174 minutes, Thuramukham is an ambitious recounting of an important historical episode. It’s not all smooth sailing, but the ship does make it to the shore.After Kammatipaadam (2016), Thuramukham, meaning ‘harbour’, is another Rajeev Ravi ode to the historical struggles that form the bedrock of a modern city like Kochi. The period drama, written by Gopan Chidambaram, is based on an award-winning play of the same title written by his father, Km Chidambaram. At its heart is the question – what does capitalism do to human beings? The opening sequence is just the beginning of the long answer – people climbing one over another like crabs to find a token that would ensure that they got some work for the day; the inhuman chappa system in the early decades of the 20th century that forced workers to enter a gladiatorial battle every day to feed their families.

ReviewRead between the lines, and 'Theerppu' starring Prithviraj can be read as a commentary on revisionist history and political appropriation. But the lines themselves have little solid to offer.Lakshmi PriyaWhen the character posters for Prithviraj starrer Theerppu were released via the actor’s social media handles a week ago, a meme fest erupted in the Malayalam internet space. Is this a meeting of the Nair Service Society, many pondered, as posters featuring Indrajith Sukumaran as Kalyan ‘Menon’, Hannah Reji Koshi as Prabha ‘Nair’, Vijay Babu as Ram Kumar ‘Nair’, Sreekanth Murali as simply a ‘Nair’, and Shaju Sreedhar as ‘Menon’, all came out one after another. Right on track came the posters featuring Saiju Kurup as Parameshwaran ‘Potty’, which denotes another Upper Caste surname like Nair, and Prithviraj as Abdulla ‘Marakkar’ — a Muslim for a change, but an ‘elite’ one nonetheless. However, Theerppu makes one thing clear early on.
