What's the story

It's Rajeev Ravi versus Rajeev Ravi! Two of the Malayalam director's movies—Kuttavum Shikshayum and Thuramukham—are gearing up for release one after the other. While the former, a police drama, is set to be released on Friday, the latter is a period film that will hit the theaters on June 3 (next Friday). Trailers of both the movies were also released on consecutive days recently.

Context

Why does this story matter?

Ravi, a noted cinematographer, has directed three films so far, namely Annayum Rasoolum (2013), Njan Steve Lopez (2014), and Kammatti Paadam (2016). All three films were lauded by fans and critics alike. And after a break of about six years, Ravi is back on the big screens. So, the simultaneous release of two of his films makes his return all the more exciting.
