The Tale of Kappurambu Uppu

The fictitious village of Chitti Jaya Puram is the setting for Uppu Kappurambu. Apoorva (Keerthy Suresh) is the village sarpanch, who finds herself in a pickle when Chinna (Suhas), the head of the burial ground, informs the villagers that there is only room for four cremations there. As the village leader, Apoorva chooses to distribute the area to four individuals through a lottery, which causes additional conflict there. The remainder of the tale revolves around how Apoorva handles the situation by working with Chinna, which only increases the tension.

Review of Uppu Kappurambu

Ani I.V. Sasi wrote and directed Uppu Kappurambu, and he chose a very unique topic for his village drama. The plot is fascinating, and the environment in which it takes place seems to have potential. However, regrettably, the manner in which it is told leaves much to be desired.

The story is told through slapstick comedy from the very first scene under the direction of Ani. Every actor in the movie overplays their role and speaks very loudly. Despite the fact that the characterizations are well thought out, the actors' loud performances may be annoying.

Although the personalities seem natural, their depiction in some of the film's important scenes is let down by the village issues, the rivalry between the groups, and Keerthy Suresh's character assuming the role of sarpanch.

When recounting such stories in an exaggerated tone, there is a delicate balance that must be struck in comedy. Regrettably, Keerthy Suresh's character is depicted as somewhat perplexing and excessively dramatic. Her role is unbalanced, and if her performance had been softened, it would have made far more sense.

Although the portrayal of issues in small towns is well done, there is not enough time for them to mature. The scene between Suhas and his mother, portrayed by Talluri Rameswari, is the highlight of the movie. Their chemistry makes you grin, and it seems that more of their scenes would have enhanced the movie's appeal. The movie's sole track that feels genuine and grounded is this one.

Although the emotional scenes might have been amplified, the director opted for a more lighthearted approach, which reduces their effect. The film Uppu Kappurambu is best seen with modest hopes. The tone is anything but organic, and it requires some getting used to.

Suhas stands out in all of this. In Uppu Kappurambu, Suhas gives a strong performance as Chinna, and as always, he excels. His innocence and screen presence elevate important moments.

Keerthy Suresh makes an attempt at something unique here. In a few instances, she appears adorable, and her body language is comical. As written, her character seems strange because of the excessive way in which the plot moves forward.

Shatru is surprisingly excellent in a comedic role, and Babu Mohan is precise in his. The other performers are so noisy that they don't need to be mentioned separately. The village mood is wonderfully captured, and the production values are excellent. The camera work, discussion, and editing are all flawless.

Despite its compelling plot and well-developed characters, the overdone conduct of the characters in Uppu Kappurambu makes the situation frustrating. The second half begins to make sense, and the sentiments start to make sense, but by that point, it's too late.

Verdict on Uppu Kapurambu

Generally speaking, Uppu Kappurambu is a hilarious comedy that might be a little too loud in its production. Despite the promise of the plot and the excellent performance of Keerthy Suresh and Suhas in their roles, the film is sometimes bogged down by its excessive storytelling. Give this movie a try if you're the kind of person who appreciates unusual comedies.
