![]() Considering all the different types of people living in the country, someone uninitiated would believe that. Indians always claim to be not at all racists. In that way, the film deconstructs that notion through this antithesis to such concepts and shows the inner self of those kinds of people. Even the climax sequences are made in such a way that it directly references films in which Fahadh Faasil himself has played the masculine hero. Almost till the end he behaves in the most gentlemanly way but his words and actions are always a little bit creepy, which hides a lot more underneath. ![]() But it is when Shammy is introduced that we see the differences more clearly. ![]() From the introduction of main characters, we can see that subtle difference. There are a lot of moments that avoid the conventional portrayal of characters that is usually seen in similar Malayalam films. Another mother is a character that doesn’t have much to do in the film, but represents everything the films stands for. The kind of mother many would avoid talking about because they think of her in a way that is most complex and mysterious. There are three different characters who are mothers, one of whom is one that has never been shown like this in Malayalam films and affects the characters mostly throughout the film.

Saji, who lives off of his friend whoμ he had helped in the past, and Bobby, who roams around aimlessly, always fight with each other much to the annoyance of the other two who prefer to live elsewhere. The four brothers live in a house that doesn’t even have a door. ![]() Kumbalangi Nights is about the lives of four brothers Saji ( Soubin Shahir), Bobby ( Shane Nigam), Bonny ( Sreenath Bhasi) and Franky (Mathew Thomas) from the fishing hamlet of Kumbalangi and how their lives change with the entry of some characters into their lives. ![]()
