Malayalam sports drama ‘Anaparambile World Cup‘ will soon premiere on Sunnxt. It stars actors like Anthony Varghese, Manoj K. Jayan, Saiju Kurup, Balu Varghese, Kumar Sethu.
The movie initially released in 2019 and was not very well accepted. It is written and directed by debutant filmmaker Nikhil Premraj. He previously acted as the assistant director for the film ‘Kuttanpillayude Sivarathri’. The music of the film is composed by Jakes Bejoy who has worked in films like ‘Queen’, ‘Monsoon Mangoes’, ‘Taxiwala’.
The movie tells the story of a small village in Northern Kerala that is preparing to enjoy the football World Cup. There is 9 year old boy who is a huge fan of the game and his life changes drastically when an unexpected guest visits the village. It is a true tribute to the passion for the game and it celebrates the world cup with the perspective of the fans. It is true that ‘Anaparambile World Cup’ is not a very unique story as Malayalam films usually are, it takes the basic underdog template and tells a very usual feel-good story for kids and it is obviously good for a one time watch.
The movie is produced by Stanley CS and Faisal Latheef. The film has pretty good visuals and the cinematography was handled by Faiz Siddik. Watch the movie if you are a football fan and if you want to celebrate the passion with which the gane is played and the matches are observed. It will be streaming on OTT from the 24th of December this year. It will be available on Sunnxt.
