Asuravithu(2012),D(2005)&Guns For San Sebastian(1968)

A.K Sajan’s stylishly made “Asuravithu” was not accepted well at the time of its release. But it is now considered as one of the average works of his career. However the movie gets many of its main scenes from “D” & “Guns For San Sebastian”. In fact, these two movies have inspired numerous malayalam flicks based on Gangster and Gang War theme. Among the inspired ones, is the sequence when Asifali takes Samvrutha to a Restaurant for dinner and people start staring at them with a disgusting look.  You can find the same scene in ”D” too. Apart from this, the conflict between Aasifali and his mother, the hospital sequence with the nurse are also there in the original starring Randeep Hooda. In “Asuravithu”,the gangster turned priest plot is similar to “Guns for San Sebastian” or “Bataille de San Sebastian, La” (1968)   But Inspite of all the above similarities "Asuravithu" is an average  in its own, withMaqbool Salman as an added ace beyond any imitation.
