Darshana Rajendran: ‘Thuramukham’ is bigger than all of the problems that the film has been facing, bigger than success or failure

Rajeev Ravi’s directorial ‘Thuramukham’ has finally hit the big screens today (Mar 10). Darshana Rajendran, who plays Khadhija, one of the pivotal roles in the film, has penned a heartfelt note recalling her experience working with Rajeev Ravi. Darshana also stated that ‘Thuramukham’ is bigger than the problems, it has been facing, and also bigger than the success or failure.

“Getting to work with Rajeevettan and to play Kaachi to Umma, my ikkas and Umani will always be one of my most favourite experiences. I feel like Thuramukham is bigger than all of the problems that the film has been facing, bigger than success or failure. It’s documenting something that’s been erased from public memory and whenever it releases, whenever we remember the event..is the right time for it. April 2019 is when we started shoot, and it’s finally in theatres today. I hope you all catch the film and take it with you,” Darshana Rajendran said in her note.

Set during the period between 1923 and 1957, ‘Thuramukham’ revolves around Mattacherry harbour, where the infamous ‘chappa’ system existed during the 1930s to 1950s. Nivin Pauly plays the lead character in the film, while actors Joju George, Indrajith, Sudev Nair, Manikandan, Arjun Asokan, Nimisha Sajayan, Darshana Rajendran and Poornima Indrajith, are seen in some important roles in the film.
