Review: As the film on India’s longest wanted fugitive hits screens, what one gets to see is a fictionalised account of his tale, grounded in real incidents. The movie, which starts off with a long disclaimer, is set over several years in the 60s and 70s, to the 2000s.
Gopi Krishna Kurup aka Sudhakara Kurup is one of those wayward rebels whose desires could never be satisfied by the ordinary. There is a flash of insane ambition in his eyes always, and a wish to achieve what he wants through the easy, riotous ways. The movie goes on to show how Kurup, a runaway army man, turns into a well-paid expatriate and later, a fugitive.
