Oru Korean Padam

Oru Korean Padam is a 2014 Indian Malayalam-language drama film co-written and directed by Sujith S. Nair and starring Maqbool Salmaan and Jwang-ki-Ju.

Plot

Kishore is a filmmaker who has directed the movie Turning Point, which is an unofficial remake of the Korean film Something Out of Nothing, by Jwang-ki-Ju. Since the Korean film was a failure but the Malayalam film was a success, Jwang-ki-Ju comes to Kerala to claim the rights for the film. At the same time, Kishore is trying to win over his love Eva and prove that he is successful. What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Production

The film is directed by Sujith S. Nair, who previously co-directed Kaashh. The film is based on how many Indian films copy Korean films without giving the original film due credit. Oru Korean Padam began production in September 2013. To prepare for the role, Maqbool Salmaan closely observed the mannerisms of assistant directors. Theatre actor Jwang-ki-Ju made his feature film debut through this film. The film was shot in Munnar and Thiruvananthapuram.

Soundtrack

The music for the film is composed by Sreekumar Vasudev.

Reception

Deepa Soman of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "It is a onetime watch for its theme, but the overall treatment and entertainment quotient is disappointing".
