Kurukkan OTT release date: When, where to watch Vineeth Sreenivasan’s investigative comedy

Vineeth Sreenivasan and Shine Tom Chacko’s madcap comedy entertainer Kurukkan, which had hit theatres in July, is now gearing up for its OTT release. The movie, which is directed by debutant Jayalal Divakaran, didn’t make too much noise at the box office but Vineeth’s performance was hailed as one of the highlights from Kurukkan.

Apart from Vineeth, the movie also has his father Sreenivasan, who made his comeback to films with Kurukkan after being on a hiatus due to his illness.

Plot of Kurukkan

The investigative comedy revolves around an eccentric cop, a fake witness and a man who is falsely accused for a murder. How the three chase each other and the consequent murder trail form the plot of this madcap comedy that also has Malavika Menon, Srikanth Murali and Aju Varghese as part of the cast.

Vineeth Sreenivasan’s ‘most eccentric role ever’

In an earlier interview with OTTplay, Vineeth said that he hasn’t done a role like that cop he played in Kurukkan ever before. “The closest I have come to playing a wild character like this was Ravi Padmanabhan in Thaneer Mathan Dinangal,” said Vineeth, whose acting in his recent films such as Thankam, Mukundan Unni Associates and Pookkaalam were lauded by the critics and audiences. The latter two are available on Disney+ Hotstar, while Thankam is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Another reason that Vineeth was thrilled to work on the movie was that he could act with his father Sreenivasan again. “This is the genre that he loves the most and that’s why he was also more than happy to come back with a comedy,” said Vineeth, who is currently working on M Mohanan’s Oru Jathi Jathakam.
