Richter Scale 7.6 movie review: Seismic shifts in a father-son equation in the face of displacement and isolation

Empathy and immersion in the milieu are what help Richter Scale 7.6 rise above its rough edges, of which it has a few.

Richter Scale 7.6 movie review: Seismic shifts in a father-son equation in the face of displacement and isolation

Language: Malayalam

As the opening credits roll in Richter Scale 7.6 , folk artiste CJ Kuttappan’s voice reverberates across the screen. Kuttappan does not just sing, he immerses himself in each word and note emerging from his lips.   

  …Ineem ulla kaalam nammal paadaandirunnaa

Naadinde nattal potti nammal chaakum.   

Chaavaandirikkaan engilum paadedi, theiyye.   

Paadeettu chaavaan engilum paadedi, theiyye.

(Roughly: If in coming times we do not sing, the backbone of our homeland will be broken and we will die. If for no other reason than to ward off death, you must sing. If for no other reason than to die singing, you must sing.)

The song runs for about two minutes over a black screen with names in simple white lettering – two entire goosebump-inducing, poignant minutes that demand soul-searching from the viewer.

There is pain in this man’s every breath. He sings because if he and his people do not, their story will never be told. He is acutely aware that in keeping with the practice of colonisers, conquerors and dominant social groups down the ages who have written history from their point of view while erasing or distorting the truth about the vanquished and the downtrodden, those who are destroying his community too will not reveal the havoc wreaked by the “ karutha deivathe kollunna thambraande deivam ” (literally: the god of the master who kills the black god).   

He sings while exhorting others to also sing – for their survival and self-respect, and to ensure that they are not forgotten.

Like this song written by Madhu Narayanan with which the curtain rises on it, Richter Scale 7.6 is an anthem of protest and a chronicle of hidden lives. The film is based on a story by Reji Kumar K and Rajesh Kumar K. The unornamented grandeur of its preamble is mirrored by the central narrative of Richter Scale 7.6 , which marks the feature debut of director Jeeva KJ.   

At a basic level, Richter Scale 7.6 is about Ramankunju and Suku, a father and son living together in a hut in what appears to be a remote area. Until the film’s eye-opening closing shot, we are not shown their surroundings but their limited human interactions indicate that it is a sparsely populated region.   

Suku is a daily wage earner who also takes care of the house since his father seems to be unwell. He believes Ramankunju is mentally ill and so chains the old man to his bed each morning before leaving for work.

We gather from fleeting conversations that the family was offered compensation to leave this place. It is not specified whether they were asked to relocate to facilitate a project run by the government or private enterprise or both. Either way, Suku is furious and frustrated because Ramankunju refused to move though all the other locals did, as a result of which they now live in complete isolation. The situation has led to seismic shifts in the father-son equation, hence the title.

(Spoilers in the next six paragraphs)

As Richter Scale 7.6 rolls along, it gradually becomes evident that what Suku views as mental instability in his father is actually Ramankunju’s desperation to hold on to his cultural roots and memories of his close ties with nature, and to Kollam Thullal, the indigenous dance form he once practised.   

What, after all, is the definition of “normal” and “insanity” in a world where human beings denounce anyone who stands by their beliefs or will not rein in their minds. Ramankunju embodies a blend of both: an individual who resists being plucked out of his natural habitat while it is ravaged by his fellow humans, and who sets his mind free to honour the remembrance of his earlier existence.

By means of Sujith Sahadev’s editing, for much of the film it is unclear when Ramankunju’s imagination ends and reality begins.

Throughout his screen time, Ramankunju is portrayed as a man who is one with nature and not threatened by it. He is affectionate towards the stray kitten wandering into his room and challenges a snake, that he knows is not venomous, with a song.

Suku, on the other hand, is perennially angry and is even violent with Ramankunju.

Balance is restored and peace returns to their home only when roles are reversed following a dramatic turn of events. Ramankunju is not bitter at the treatment he has so far received from Suku. He does not seek revenge. He fought back earlier when he was struck, but now that he is not under attack, he takes care of his son and calmly goes about doing what needs to be done for their sustenance.

(Spoiler alert ends)

It then dawns on Suku that they are inter-dependent creatures, each benefiting from this new-found harmony. When this happens, and when DoP Sujith Lal pulls the camera away from their habitation in the climax, moving further and further up to reveal the destruction of the landscape by human hands, you might see that the father-son relationship in Richter Scale 7.6 is in fact a metaphor for the inter-dependence of the human species and Nature and the gains that will accrue to humanity if we embrace rather than assault the planet.   

Given Richter Scale 7.6 ’s intent, the decision not to somewhat explain Ramankunju’s resistance to leaving home is self-defeating. The trauma caused to marginalised communities by displacement is rarely part of the public discourse. The privileged tend to assume that opposition to such displacement comes from pointlessly stubborn, foolish, anti-development forces. For those living in the lap of Nature out of choice, however, enforced uprooting means more than just shifting from one condominium to another, irrespective of the financial compensation – it means an entire way of life ruined. Richter Scale 7.6 is oblique in its messaging in this regard and risks preaching to the already converted alone.   

For Jeeva, the ordeal of the Dalit community represented in Richter Scale 7.6 is close to home – literally. She has spoken publicly of how her husband’s family was profoundly affected by displacement before she married him.   

This is perhaps why there is not an iota of othering in Richter Scale 7.6 , which plays out like an account of “people like us” and not an alien “them”.   

Empathy and immersion in the milieu are what help Richter Scale 7.6 rise above its rough edges, of which it has a few. The acting by some of the supporting players, for one, is not up to the mark. The soundscape is left too bare too often. And the film does itself a huge disservice by not subtitling the opening and closing songs (the latter a traditional song of unknown origin), leaving viewers who do not know Malayalam to merely sense the mood from CJ Kuttappan’s beautifully stirring rendition.

Considering the choice of theme, it is also hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment that even while telling a tale of an oppressed community, even a woman director in this male-dominated film industry gravitates towards a tale of men from that community – Richter Scale 7.6 does not feature a single substantial female character and the only two women seen in the film make fleeting appearances.   

Of the leads, Murugan Martin who plays Suku has earlier played satellite roles in Angamaly Diaries and Lucifer . His acting is one-toned until the film’s final moments when we get a glimpse of what might possibly be his potential for more.     

The lynchpin of Richter Scale 7.6 is Ashok Kumar Peringode who plays Ramankunju. His role is tricky since it often borders on being over the top, but the actor keeps a check on himself in his remarkably real performance.   

What stands out above all else in Richter Scale 7.6 is Jeeva’s conviction and her keenness to draw attention to people that most Indians would rather look away from.   

Rating: 2.75 (out of 5 stars)

Richter scale 7.6 malayalam movie review: it is a dreary pretentious father-son story.

Richter Scale 7.6

Richter Scale  7.6 (Malayalam, Roots Video/ Koode)

Starring  Murugan Martin, Ashok Kumar Peringode

Directed by  Jeeva KJ

Richter Scale  7.6 Review: The waves of   raves  are so  predictable. In  our country any cinema  about poverty, powered and punctuated  by long bouts of silence when  nothing happens, gets the  critics in a state  of collective orgasm.

Alas, not every film about  rural poverty is   Pather Panchali . And needless to say, Jeeva KJ is no Satyajit Ray. The silences in this  film are…how do we  say it?…unbearably sultry. In Ray’s  ather Panchali . the  sounds of silence spoke to us  in a language that needs no words. Here the  silences do not speak. The  shroud the  caderverous   plot in sheaths  of disfigured distress.As if  saving money  on  subtitles.

 There are only two characters  in a  ramshackle but suspiciously neat  hut(art director gets marks for  the studied authenticity). The father Ramankunju(Ashok Kumar Peringode), the son Suku(Murugan Martin) and the unholy ghost: that being  the uneasy  friction  between them. Father  is  chained to  wooden cot,  thereby further reducing immobility in a  film that  mimics the  inert silences  of a frozen yogurt.The  older man is frequently threatened  by his son. Do they  have a history?  If they do, this film is  not interested.

 Incidental  characters drop in to sing tribal folk songs with the father.But the songs, traditional wails of  lost generations, hardly reduces  the  tedium that creeps  up on us  like  a slithering snake  looking for  some excitement in  the land of  the bland.

 Halfway through, the dynamic between  the father and son undergoes  a sea-change. Son breaks his leg and comes  home in a cast. At last, something moves. Father  who  until this point was  a mentally  unstable  man, chained and  singing, suddenly becomes  a caring father. He  cooks, bathes and mothers  his son who tells  the woman he loves, “It’s almost as  if the sickness  is gone.” She  looks back coyly at  the son and  says, “I’ve told my father not to look  for any other groom  for me.”

Ah, some more suggestion of immobility.The sickness  that  consumes this  film with a pretentious title. The sickness  of staying silent , ostensibly  pregnant silences . But actually  the  soundtrack remains inert  because there is  nothing to say. Of course the two  central  performances are undeniably strong. And  the camerawork(by  K Sujithlal)  sketches  gruff pastoral  images of a dying light catching two generations in  a  confined space with  little to  bind them except their mutual  despair.

There are very  few happy moments in this  sullen neo-realistic drama which Satyajit Ray  would have  watched  wondering if he did  the  right thing by  making  Pather Panchali .

Richter Scale 7.6 is a realistic tale of a father and son, where the son considers his father as a mentally sick person and so ties him up in their isolated hut while leaving for work. The father meanwhile is lost in his own world of thoughts and never retaliates to the hatred shown by his son. This is all about what happens in the film on a surface level.

There are only two main characters and a single location throughout the entire 71 minute runtime. The cameraman has tried his level best to offer good visuals within the limited area but still, the single location experience was a bit suffocating at times as the movie progressed. The performances of the…

Review by Anupama Chopra

An earthquake or some sort of disaster is perhaps what comes to mind when you hear the title Richter Scale 7.6. Actually, this Malayalam film is a father-son story unlike any you’ve seen before. The title perhaps refers to the seismic shifts in their relationship. The masterful last shot is a chilling portrait of environmental disaster. Debutant director Jeeva KJ isn’t interested in spelling out intentions with a sledgehammer. Richter Scale 7.6 works like a visual poem, hinting, suggesting, shifting seamlessly between reality, memories and dreams.

The film is almost entirely contained in a ramshackle hut where father and son, Ramankunju and Suku live in abject poverty. Suku believes that his father Ramankunju, who was once a folk dancer, is…
