Oru thekkan thallu case - Life of a local thug and his enemies

 

Oru Thekkan Thallu Case (A southern  beat  case)

 Generally every village has a superhero. A thug, someone who others fear. Most of the time these people would be of bad character. But the lighthouse watcher of Anchuteng ,Amminipillai was a different man. He did justice to his wife and was also considerate of other women. That was why he objected the meeting of neighborhood  girl Vasanthi and Podian  at night and spread that love affair among the public. That's how Podian's ego was shattered. With the help of his friends Kunjipaki, Prabhakuttan, Kunjukunju  and Lopez, he ambushed Amminipillai and fatally injured him. Amminipillai came  back stronger after treatment and beat  them one by one in front of the public. He planned  to beat the fugitive Podian before his marriage with Vasanti. A variety of problems, many really trivial but big things in village life, arise one after the other in Amminipillai's life. But his wife Rugmini made  up for everything and ended  the story auspicious.

The  movie was directed by debutant N. Sreejith, written by Rajesh Pinnadan based on G.R.Indu Gopan's story  Amminipilla Vettu case. What made the film enjoyable was that it was set in a village in the early 1990s, brought  many actors who were not familiar to the audience, and told the story in an interesting way. The film was produced by Mukesh R Mehta and CV Sarathy and was not a big challenge for cinematographer Madhu Neelakandan, who had done cinematography for Annayum Rasoolum, Churuli and Kammattipadam.  The film was edited by Manoj Kannoth. The background music  was composed by Justin Varghese, who composed the music for Tanneer Mathan Dinamal, Joji and Ajagajantharam. Anwar Ali composed the lyrics. Biju Menon, Padmapriya, Nimisha Sajayan and Roshan Mathew in the lead roles, Arun Shankaran, Reju Shivdas, Akhil Kavalayur and Aswat Lal had given remarkable performances in the film. The film is available on Netflix.
