By Cine Critic|Oct9th, 2011|21:22:03


Director Ranjith's latest offering Indian Rupee, starring Prithvi Raj, is one such effort where the viewer is drawn into the story to experience the sheer joy of it. The film can be easily categorised as one of the best films of the Malayalam film industry to hit the screen this year.

Jayaprakash or JP as he is popularly known (Prithviraj), is a simple guy with huge dreams and aspirations about his future. JP begins his career as a sub agent in the real estate business. He is interacting with some of the bigwigs in the industry and is slowly making his presence felt in the big bad world of reality business in Kozhikode. Hameed (Tini Tom) is his best buddy who backs him all the time and helps JP make some quick bucks. The two decide to make money by selling the property owned by an old man named Achutha Menon (Thilakan). However, that never happens.

In the process, Achutha Menon becomes an inseparable part of their lives and things start falling in the right place, much to the delight of JP. Rima Kallingal as Bina plays the love interest of Prithviraj in Indian Rupee. Bina is a doctor and her parents are not too keen to get her married to JP. JP manages to earn a commendable fortune. However, in the process, he learns some valuable lessons about the importance of money in life.

The film depends heavily on Prithvi Raj's  skills to be convincing and it works.  It is this effortless and natural performance that gives Jayaprakash the lifeblood.Among the  supporting cast, Tilakn gives ample support to Prithvi  in keeping our attention rivetted to the screen. It has been a long time since he has portrayed such a character, but here he gets a chance to bring back the memories of vintage Tilakan that we fondly remember. Tiny Tom and Rima Kallingal come up with fine performances, in their brief roles.

Ranjith is very much in control of the proceedings and has done an excellent work as the director, eliciting excellent performances out of the artists. On the whole, Indian Rupee' is definitely prescribed for everyone who likes fresher themes and initiatives in Mollywood.

Verdict:Outstanding
