When I first saw Thappana, I was quite impressed by its entertaining treatment and the unique storyline. Especially, Mammootty, superbly playing the ex convict was the major USP of the movie having a fast paced script with no dull moments.
But I really felt quite low to find that this authentic looking movie was also an inspired version of an Original Bengali Flick called "Aar Ek Aashapurna" (1983), written by Aasha Purna Devi.

But the silver lining in the dark clouds is that the Malayalam Version was more thrilling and captivating than its Bengali source. And “Thappana” can easily be included in the category of Better Inspired Movies, where a version outshines its original.
