What happens

Android Kunjappan Version 5.25 is a 2019 Indian Malayalam-language science fiction comedy-drama film written and directed by Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval (in his directorial debut), produced by Santhosh T. Kuruvilla, and starring Suraj Venjaramoodu, Soubin Shahir, Sooraj Thelakkad, Kendy Zirdo, and Saiju Kurup. It is loosely based on the 2012 film Robot & Frank. The music was composed by Bijibal. In the plot, Subramanian (Soubin Shahir) goes to Russia for work, leaving his old-age father Bhaskaran Poduval (Suraj Venjaramoodu) with an android called Kunjappan (Sooraj Thelakkad) to take care of him. Bhaskaran, however, hates the idea. The film was released in India on 8 November 2019. It received critical acclaim and was one of the commercially successful Malayalam films released in the year. The movie won three Kerala State Film Awards including Best Actor award for Suraj. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
