Marupadi

The film is inspired by a real-life incident from North India and follows a family relentlessly pursued by authority and the legal system. It centers on Aby, a bank employee, his wife Sara—an orphan—and their teenage daughter Riya, who live a quiet and content life. Their lives take a drastic turn when Aby is transferred to Kolkata as a punishment due to issues at his workplace. While traveling to their new home, their car is stopped by the anti-narcotics squad, who claim to find drugs inside. This leads to the family’s arrest and imprisonment. Inside jail, Sara and Riya endure harassment and abuse from both police officers and fellow inmates. The film sharply criticizes the failures of the legal and social systems, showing how innocent lives can be destroyed by misuse of power. It also highlights the harsh realities faced by women and children in contemporary society. == Cast ==

Deepa Soman for The Times of India stated, "With its fair share of pitfalls and loopholes, our legal justice system has been existing in our midst, to make important decisions on people lives, for long. When women are at its receiving end, the system gets a lot more skewed. Marupadi, a film by V.M. Vinu, typifies such a frightful situation, demanding some scary answers and solutions if any". Filmihood.com rated the movie 3 out of 5. == References ==
