While the recently released Malayalam film ‘Kurup’, starring Dulquer Salmaan, has been doing extremely well on the box office, there has been a strong reaction from a section of people, who have slammed the makers, for making the film, which is based on the life of Sukumar Kurup – one of the most wanted criminals in Kerala since 1984-- the third such film in Malayalam cinema, after ‘NH 47’ in 1984 and ‘Pinneyam’, which released in 2016.
