Sushin Shyam once again weaves his magic in Pakaliravukal from Dulquer Salmaan, Sobhita Dhulipala’s Kurup

Varathan and Kumbalangi Nights composer Sushin Shyam once again proves why he's one of the best music directors in Malayalam right now, with the first track from Dulquer Salmaan’s Kurup. The song, titled Pakaliravukal in Malayalam, was released in five languages and featured visuals of a time when Dulquer’s character Sukumara Kurup was romancing his girlfriend Sarasamma, essayed by Sobhitha Dhulipala in the 70s.

The song begins with a conversation between the duo's characters and shows the two bonding in Mumbai. Sobhitha, who plays a nurse, meets Kurup during his days with the Indian Air Force. The video also gives us a glimpse of Kurup's love for fancy cars. 

The track, which is titled Uravenum Vazhiyea in Tamil, Edi Paravasamo in Telugu, Arerere Ragale in Kannada and Pal Itna Mera in Hindi, is rendered by Neha Nair and has lyrics by Anwar Ali. 

Kurup, which will mark Dulquer’s first theatrical release since the pandemic, is directed by Srinath Rajendran and has the actor essaying the role of one of India’s most wanted fugitives. The film is currently slated to hit theatres across the world on November 12.

It will be the first big theatrical release in Kerala since cinema halls re-opened on October 25. Kurup will be screened across 400 theatres in the State, making it the young star’s biggest release in his career.

Made on a budget of Rs 35 Cr, the film, which is scripted by Daniel Sayooj Nair and KS Aravind, revolves around the story of Kurup from the late 60s to the 80s. Apart from Dulquer and Sobhitha, the film also has Indrajith Sukumaran, Shine Tom Chacko, Surabhi Lakshmi, Shivajith Padmanabhan, P Balachandran and Vijayaraghavan as part of the cast.

The movie’s cinematography is by Nimish Ravi. It was shot over a period of 110 days in Kerala, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Mangalore and Dubai.
