Plot

Kishore is a filmmaker who has directed the movie Turning Point, which is an unofficial remake of the Korean film Something Out of Nothing, by Jwang-ki-Ju. Since the Korean film was a failure but the Malayalam film was a success, Jwang-ki-Ju comes to Kerala to claim the rights for the film. At the same time, Kishore is trying to win over his love Eva and prove that he is successful. [1] [2] What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Cast

Production

The film is directed by Sujith S. Nair, who previously co-directed Kaashh (2012). The film is based on how many Indian films copy Korean films without giving the original film due credit. [2] Oru Korean Padam began production in September 2013. [1] To prepare for the role, Maqbool Salmaan closely observed the mannerisms of assistant directors. [1] Theatre actor Jwang-ki-Ju made his feature film debut through this film. [3] The film was shot in Munnar and Thiruvananthapuram. [1]

Soundtrack

The music for the film is composed by Sreekumar Vasudev. [5]
