The village that sold its graves

‘Uppu Kappurambu’ turns the absurd idea of villagers fighting over scarce burial land into a warm, satirical comedy.

Picture a frail man lying on his deathbed, but fate or rather, the strange rules of his village will not let him die. Now, picture a ‘Housefull’ sign, the kind you see outside a packed cinema, being hammered onto the gates of a graveyard. Absurd? Yes.
