Summary
Bhaskara Poduval is a stubborn, ageing widower in a north Kerala village who has driven off every helper his son has hired for him. When Subramanian, his engineer son, accepts a job abroad, he leaves behind a humanoid caretaker robot built by his employer, and the village soon nicknames the machine Kunjappan. The old man treats it as an insult at first, then comes to rely on a companion that cooks, bathes him and learns his habits, while relatives and neighbours read the newcomer as anything from a marvel to a bad omen. Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval's Malayalam comedy-drama plants a science-fiction premise inside an ordinary rural household to look at ageing parents and the children who move away.
Android Kunjappan Ver 5.25 (2019) is a film IMDb files under the comedy, drama and science-fiction genres. Its country of origin is listed as India. It plays in Malayalam.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. Only 40 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 44 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Android Kunjappan Ver 5.25 lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 40.
