Thuramukham is a film directed by Rajeev Ravi based on Mattancherry Fishing and the miserable life and struggles of the port workers. The release of the film, which was postponed several times, hit the screens on March 10. Nivin Pauly, Arjun Ashokan, Poornima Indrajith, Joju George, and Sudev Nair are playing the lead roles in the film.
Poornima played the role of Nivin Pauly’s mother in Port. The star’s performance has been receiving rave reviews and critical acclaim. Actress Poornima talks about the steps she took to change her character. Poornima said that she had lost weight for the film and had come to Mattancherry and stayed with women during that period. The movie has some good scenes that intensely show the depth of their relationship.
There was a little tension that the weight would come off later. Homework was done physically and mentally to the youth. The mentality of a woman in the 1940s is unimaginable to today’s women. It was a period of male dominance. In that situation full of slavery and poverty, women were mentally fighting. Before the shooting started, I had met a couple of ummas who had moved to Mattancherry at that time. Spend a day with them, listen to their stories, and understand the situations they went through. Poornima said.
