Kurup (2021)
Audiences are lukewarm on it.
The FilmyChill Score combines audience ratings and critics' reception, and updates twice a day. No studio or platform can pay for a score. How the score works
Kurup is streaming in the UAE on Netflix.
What the audience says
Kurup sits squarely in the middle of the pack — watchable, and just as easily forgettable. It carries a 6.4/10 on TMDB across 64 ratings — squarely mid-table. At 155 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. In the UAE you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 35m on it?
2h 35m of Malayalam thriller, leaning crime. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
Don't watch this if…
- you take the score at face value — 64 votes is a thin sample
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 35m
- Why
- At 6.4/10 from 64 ratings, audiences are split; the genre fit matters more than the score here.
- Skip if
- you want to relax rather than be wound up
- Best for
- A night you can give it your full attention
