Plot/Review
Kutty Srank is a 2009 Malayalam movie directed by internationally acclaimed director Shaji N Karun.It narrates the story of a nomadic drifter who is forever lured by the call of the waves. It's not just the story of a man who could never get over his obsessive quest for truth and identity; it's a multilayered account of several other lives as well that got allured by the labyrinth of his rootless existence. The film is extremely complex and demands a repeated viewing on the part of the viewer if he is to really savor its magnitude.
Kutty Srank starts off with an end; an end to a life lived. An unidentified body of a middle aged man that is washed ashore in a canoe brings forth three women, Revamma,Pemmana & Kali,who claim to have been associated with the man at some point in his life. Kutty Srank, as the sailor is called, is to each one of them a man as strikingly different from the other two as possible.
It is the story of a sailor who sails through the different social circumstances, different women and different parts of Kerala, at different times.
