Samir Thahir’s direction

Chaappa Kurishu marked the directorial debut of Samir Thahir. Even though the majority of the movie may not have impressed many people when it was first released, it is still regarded as a bold attempt by a young filmmaker.

Performances

The experience of watching this movie was improved by Vineeth Sreenivasan and Fahadh Faasil's solid performances. Remya Nambeesan gave a bold act in Chaappa Kurishu as well. There is a pivotal scene in this suspenseful film where Fahadh makes out with Remya. This scene between Fahadh and Remya was in the news for a while even though it appears to have been shot with a mobile phone. It was likely the first time a Malayalam film featured a lip-lock scene, making it controversial.
