Unlike the exaggerated expressions of his contemporaries, Kurup mastered the blank stare . His signature was a wide-eyed, slightly bewildered, yet utterly sincere look. He didn’t tell you his character was stupid; he showed you a man operating on a different logic.
Directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan, this film was a landmark in Indian parallel cinema. Kurup’s involvement in such a foundational project highlights his standing in the industry. kp sivasankara kurup film
