The Malayalam movie Kuruthi has been criticized by health expert B Iqbal. Iqbal has come out with a Facebook post trolling the film. The film was released on Amazon Prime on August 11.
.
Iqbal described the portrayal of terrorism in Kuruthi as an ‘extreme illusion’. “Amazon Prime Kuruthi ends the extreme illusion by loudly declaring that humans’ enduring emotion is hate;” says Iqbal in a Facebook post.
.
Iqbal’s humorous language points to flaws in the storyline from the beginning to the end of the film.
.
“The terrorists split into two camps and rode their motorcycle and jeep through the jungle in a stunning death patch like in Hollywood movies. Finally, after the stabbing, a few mixed extremists share philosophies, quoting scriptures, reclining on rocks in the background of the jungle and forest, reminiscent of cultures such as Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro;” wrote Iqbal.
.
The film, which deals with terrorism, and Hindu-Muslim hatred, has received a mixed response.
.
The film seems to criticize the extremist activities of the majority and the minority. The main criticism is that the film twists reality and is a Sangh Parivar narrative.
