What’s the story of Kaapa
In a voyage that is unabashed yet occasionally gruesome, Kaapa leads us through the crime-ridden city of Thiruvananthapuram. This is not an entertaining film for the general public; rather, it is an attempt at a gangster film that strives to maintain its status at the top of its genre. Shaji Kailas has, to a greater or lesser extent, been successful in presenting a gangster movie that depicts the never-ending cycle of crime and retribution. Although it offers a revitalising experience with Thiruvananthapuram as its setting, the artists’ interpretation of the local lingo isn’t very convincing.
In the opening scene of the movie, a techie named Anand discovers that the name of his wife, Binu Trivikraman, was included in the Kaapa list by accident. The fact that the gang her brother used to be a part of still uses the moniker is what led to her inclusion on the list. The story is told through Anand’s perspective as he travels over the world to protect his wife. He is introduced to Kotta Madhu, the head of the opposing gang. He has his sights set on winning a seat in the next elections for the Thiruvananthapuram city corporation. However, despite his efforts to avoid the murder site at least for the duration of the election, his past continues to follow him around like a ghost.
Kotta Madhu is in no way, shape, or form a heroic figure. He is heartless, sneaky at times, and vicious in many other ways as well. However, Kailas and the writer G R Indu Gopan, whose tale Shamghumughi is the source of the script, did strive to present his gentler side in which he is just a man of his family—his wife and son—grieving his previous mistakes, albeit in a selective manner. A local journalist named Latheef provides assistance to the opposing gang. The film is primarily around the violence that arises between the various gangs.
Cast & Crew of Kaapa
The major character in the film Kaapa was portrayed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, and the film also featured Asif Ali, Aparna Balamurali, Anna Ben, Dileesh Pothan, Jagadish, and Abhijit in key parts.

Kaapa makes an attempt to reproduce the impression that Ram Gopal Varma’s iconic gangster films had on audiences. We are reminded of Varma’s Sarkar series by the use of longshots, sombre background music, and situations with low levels of illumination.
The theme of the apparently never-ending cycle of revenge is explored in depth throughout the film. Those who have been implicated in criminal activity are unable to break the cycle of violence without first making restitution. The issue is that both Shaji and Indugopan appear to have the mindset that the only thing that happens in the life of gangsters is that they get killed and they kill other people.
When Madhu is preoccupied with avoiding death and his competitors are plotting his demise, there is little to no opportunity for pleasure in Kaapa. This movie takes itself far too seriously, which is one of the major issues with it. The members of the gang almost never discuss anything other than business when they get together. The writing is so superficial that it lends the characters an air of pretentiousness.
Even though he is supposed to be the head of a criminal organisation, Prithviraj seems to play the role of Madhu in a way that makes him appear to be a foolish and indecisive criminal. After one stupid decision after another, he continues to make them. For a man who has been toughened by the vicious methods of the underworld, he is unable to make an educated guess and avoid circumstances that could put his life in jeopardy.
In addition to this, the staging of the action is fantastic. Madhu, who is driving an SUV, is attacked by a group of bikers who are equipped with knives. The assailants don’t even have a weapon with them. And as a result, Madhu’s SUV winds up colliding with them. What on earth were they contemplating? In a different scene, a significant character goes to confront his sworn adversary without any discernible form of protection, only to be obliterated in the process.
