Kurup (2021)
Kurup is streaming in India on Netflix.
The verdict
Kurup sits squarely in the middle of the pack — watchable, and just as easily forgettable. It carries a 6.3/10 on TMDB across 62 ratings — squarely mid-table. At 155 minutes, it asks for a real chunk of your night. In India you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 35m on it?
2h 35m of Malayalam thriller, leaning crime, not one for younger kids. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
Don't watch this if…
- you take the score at face value — it's early, and 62 votes can still move it
- you want something you can finish quickly — it runs 2h 35m
- Why
- At 6.3/10 from 62 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
