Puzhu: Mammootty performs a dangerously egoistic personality in a film that exposes faultlines of caste

Puzhu has been within the information ever because it was once published that Mammootty will probably be taking part in a unfavourable personality within the film. Directed via debutant Ratheena and  according to a tale via Harshad, the movie has sure similarities to Oor Iravu, the general phase of the Tamil anthology Paavai Kaadhagal.

If the purpose of Puzhu was once to convey out new aspects of Mammootty as an actor, it obviously wins in that regard. He performs Kuttan who hails from a Brahmin circle of relatives and perspectives the arena most effective via his entitled and egoistic lens. The warfare level of the film is constructed round Kuttan’s sister Bharati, performed via Parvathy. A modern lady, she lives with a theatre activist Kuttapan who comes from a unique caste.

The film follows Kuttan’s lifestyles together with his son Kichu and it’s transparent that the teenager is suffocating underneath his father. Kuttan by no means intimidates his son, however exerts his authority over him in a large number of refined techniques, and that’s the place Mammootty excels as he underplays the nature. From the beginning of the film itself, Kuttan is proven as anyone who’s most commonly grumpy and is wearing the burden of his ego and a few previous demons. He’s now and again proven nervous and in panic, reason why at the back of which is slowly published within the movie. Many of the film follows Kuttan’s psychological warfare between his identification rooted in caste and anxiousness coming from his previous deeds. Alternatively, whilst organising Kuttan, there may be numerous emphasis on bizarre personality characteristics that really feel extraneous.

Mammootty aligns with the nature, and manages to provide nuance and sun shades of gray to it together with his frame language, actions and sound modulation. His efficiency is at par together with his personality in Munnariyippu. Parvathy additionally does justice to her function. Appunni Sasi as Kuttappan is a memorable personality within the film.
