Currency
Money is a headache, and money is the cure. Money and Women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same is the case with money. Debutante director Swathy Bhasker 's movie `Currency' deal with a similar theme about how money turns out to be human happiness in the abstract and how the man who is no longer capable of enjoying such happiness in the concrete, sets his whole heart on money.
A movie told in a grayish tone, the movie have the protagonist in Keshu, played by Jayasuriya. A little dumb youth, who had quit his studies earlier, he roams around without any real aim in life. A man of mystery, he is the only son of his mother and makes a living by running a photostat store. An introvert who keeps to avoid friends, he shares a special relation with Danny D'souza Sayip - an cunning Anglo Indian, from whom he occasionally borrows money. His other person of interest is rose, a north Indian girl for whom Keshu will do anything.
One day while making a repayment, he creates a Photostat of a currency and give it to Danny, who immediately realises the special calibre of Keshu in making fake currencies. And within days Keshu is forced to become an associate to Danny's ugly business deals, by supporting him with meticulously made Photostat money.
