The Arbit Documentation of An Amphibian Hunt: Aavasavyuham

I am a cinephile and I watch atleast one movie per day,as a part of it I got to know about this Malayalam movie as a suggestion. I searched this movie in Google and the poster looked so interesting, so immediately i downloaded the movie. I started watching the movie and from scene to scene the movie was running so interestingly and finally the climax was mind blowing. The cinematography of the movie was so good and the actor as main lead was brilliant,his performance and his looks are backbone of the movie. It was a new kind of movie upto now I didn't saw that kind of film,the directors experiment became a success, every cinephile should must watch this film.

Movies like this push film craft in different ways. What starts like a documentary moves in interesting ways bring out the characterisation and human emotions.

Unlike some of the pretentious leftist crap that get dished out every now and then in Malayalam & Tamil films, this one gives it real even to the activists who only mostly succeed in destroying anything good around.

If the amphibian went a about his life without mixing with the wretched activist communist, he might have got a good life eating what he wanted and also a girl who took to him. But, typically, if u get mixed up with such activists, your life will be ruined and society will continue with its ways.

Good film and good film making.

Saw this at the IFFK screening where i went in with not knowing what to expect - and i got out of the theatre with a rare sense of joy.."what did i just witness!". An intricate storyline that has multiple visual styles. A realistic film studded with surrealist elements almost reminiscent of Donald Glover and Hiro Murai's acclaimed series Atlanta. A bold social commentary underlines the plot at every turn and it fails at none. Made in a semi-documentary style (similar to character interviews in the Office series) and thriller & comedic elements throughout the runtime made it an exciting watch. A bit sad that this isn't widely accessible outside the film festival circle and even then only screened at select few festivals- more people need to be able to watch this gem!

This movie is a real gem. Cinematic experimentation at its best. On the lines of Super Deluxe, Jallikattu, Churuli. Pictured with great skill.

+ves: Director Krishand and everybody -ves: Not everybody's cup of tea.

This was...something unlike stuff I've watched from Malayalam cinema. I'd say it's unlike any other Indian movie, but if it's unlike anything else in Mollywood, it's surely the case with the rest of Indian cinema.

This is a mockumentary style, under-2-hour, film about...the (human) nature, but it's also a fantasy, and the society, and the ecosystem, and it's a revenge story...I don't know...anything more to help explain the plot will potentially spoil it for you. It's several genres into one, and while films that try to do a lot usually fall apart real fast, this one didn't and for that, it's been winning all sorts of awards for Best Film/Screenplay/Director this year, and it's counting.

It's one thing to have a unique way to tell a story but it's a whole new ballgame to make this into a movie bc not everybody may get it...? This, dunno....you've got to watch it to get what I mean. You're either gonna find the storytelling in this one to be fascinating or as a film, this might go way over your head. There's only one way to find out. If you've seen it, I'd love to know your thoughts.
