Vikriti

Vikriti is a Malayalam language dramedy starring Suraj Venjaramoodu, Soubin Shahir in the lead roles. The movie released to decent critical acclaim on October 4th, 2019. The story of Vikriti is based on a real incident. It revolves around the lives of Eldo (Suraj Venjaramoodu) and Elsy (Surabhi Lakshmi). They are speech and hearing impaired couple. They have a son Basil. After admitting and staying with him in the hospital for two days, the couple takes the metro train to return home. Due to the extreme tiredness, they fall asleep in the metro itself. What happens next changes the lives of Eldo and Lakshmi like they never imagined. A co-passenger on the metro Sameer (Soubin Shahir) clicks their picks and uploads it on his social media profile. He labels them as drunkards. It leads to huge public outcry as everyone starts blaming the elderly couple without realising or understanding the truth. The lack of civility aspect of the people at large is turned into an emotional drama by taking cinematic liberty. Vikriti offers a unique peek into the minds through the moving tale.
