What happens
Higuita is a 2023 Indian Malayalam-language political drama film directed by Hemanth G. Nair and produced by Bobby Tharian and Sajith Amma. The film stars Suraj Venjaramoodu in the titular role, supported by an ensemble cast including Dhyan Sreenivasan, Manoj K. Jayan, Indrans, Abu Salim, and Vineeth Kumar. Set against the volatile political landscape of Kannur, Kerala, the film explores the turbulent relationship between a left-wing leader and his conflicted bodyguard amidst a web of betrayal and power struggles. The film's title, Higuita, drew controversy when writer N. S. Madhavan claimed it infringed on his rights to a story of the same name. Despite the dispute, the film was released on 31 March 2023 to a mixed critical reception. While some praised its thought-provoking dialogues and exploration of political opportunism, others criticized its reliance on stereotypes and uneven execution. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
