Uppu Kappurambu

Rating: 2.75/5

Streaming on: Prime Video India

Release Date: July 4, 2025

Cast: Suhas, Keerthy Suresh, and others

Director: Ani I.V. Sasi

Story:

• Set in the 1990s in Chitti Jayapuram, the film follows Aparna (Keerthy Suresh), unexpectedly elected village head, and Chinna (Suhas), a gravedigger battling cancer. When Chinna reveals the graveyard has only four spots left, chaos ensues as villagers rush to claim them. Amid this, Chinna also tries to fulfill his mother’s last wish, while Aparna learns to lead.

Highlights:

• Suhas delivers a grounded and heartfelt performance.
• Keerthy Suresh shines in moments but feels slightly miscast.
• Babu Mohan and Shatru bring in welcome humor.
• The cinematography and music are strengths.

Lows:

• The narrative tone may not be suitable for everyone.
• The first half feels exaggerated and slow.
• Several characters lack development and purpose.

Verdict:

• A quirky, layered village drama with some emotional depth, Uppu Kappurambu has heart but doesn’t fully land. Watch it if you’re in the mood for something different—but keep expectations in check.
