5 Prithviraj Sukumaran movies to watch!
Long before Ayushmann Khurrana pulled off 'SMZS', Prithviraj essayed the role of a gay lead in a mainstream Indian film. This Rosshan Andrrews movie remains among the best investigation thrillers in Malayalam to date.
The investigation of ACP Aaryan John's (Jayasurya) murder is entrusted to ACP Antony Moses (Prithviraj), a close friend of the victim. The stubborn cop solves the case but loses his memory in a road crash right before revealing the killer's name to his superior. Forced to restart from square one, can 'Rascal Moses' win the race against time?
This hard-hitting court drama ruffled quite a few feathers as a politician went on to label it "anti-national". Taking anecdotes from a handful of incidents that rocked contemporary India, curtains fall on this Dijo Jose Antony movie only after hinting at a more engaging second part.
Why do only some rape cases shock us? This country is not anyone's paternal property... The politics of caste is a curse... Prithvi's Adv Aravind Swaminathan is relentless (and fearless) as he defends the accused in a gangrape and murder case, who in turn was killed in a "police encounter" (ring any bells?) His intentions gradually become clear as the cop-turned-advocate on crutches decodes layers of mystery surrounding Prof Saba Mariyam's death.
This period drama set in the 16th century, co-produced by Prithviraj and directed by the gifted Santosh Sivan, featured the actor alongside Prabhu Deva, Genelia D'Souza and Tabu among many other big names. This one is a must-watch action drama if patriotic tales give you goosebumps.
Krishna Das and Thanseer don't give two hoots about anything but money. As a consequence, Das then gets to (read forced to) hear the story of local resistance against Vasco da Gama's Portuguese armada. The uprising was led from the front by a warrior of whom Das is a direct descendant.
Even before his voice cracked, a young Kelu (Prithvi) had himself crafted a golden Urumi (long sword). He grows up to be a man of values and valour, falls in love, and becomes the royal chieftain but his life mission remains unchanged -- the sacrifice of Vasco. Because payback stories are written the best with blood...
A comedy-action flick that only Vinayan could conceive and pull off in Mollywood, this one is your ideal pick for a family movie date. The film holds the unique Guinness Record for casting the most dwarves!
An IAF crew crashlands on the shores of an uncharted island inhabited by a medieval population. The kingdom is not an ideal place for them to seek asylum as all men on the island are dwarves and they consider "tall" men as devils. Prthiviraj's Hari and fellow survivors are helped by the kind-hearted princess (Mallika Kapoor) of the land. Can they make it out alive as the threat of giant-sized cannibals looms over the island? Watch the movie to find out.
Prithviraj Sukumaran was just 22 when he was cast as the lead in this Shyamaprasad directorial. The movie that bagged two National Film Awards and six Kerala State Film Awards is an adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play 'The Glass Menagerie.'
Prithviraj is young Neil D'Costa, the breadwinner of an Anglo-Indian family in Kerala that includes his mother Margaret D'Costa and handicapped sister Rose.
