Kishkindha Kaandam

The first complain is the acting . The acting of every one is good and fit perfectly. Those eho disagree is just flat out stupid and dont know a thing about movies The second complain is the dragging of the plot and poor climax and this is flat out misunderstanding the movie. First of all a climax dont need to be at the end lf the movie. A climax can be anywhere like in the first half and the second half could be the aftermath of it. But this movie does not have a big climax or you could say the entire movie is a climax , slowly filling the plot one by one which is very entertaining. I completely lost track of time in the first half. The second half is where the climax fully starts developing into a slowly cooked big climax spread out as piece and overall a master piece.

And every one who says 'ohhh they didn't close the plot with the monkey with you know what ' like seriously cant just use your freaking head for once in your life and they show what has happened. In the scene where Vijaya Ragavan goes to vist Jagathish the final time its cleary shows a poster for the monkey with the you know what. Monkeys live in forests and there is thousands of them in a forest and the chance of finding the same monkey is flat out impossible.

And the people who says the missing child plot is not closed they are too stupid , there are thousands of missing cases that have not been closed. And you think the police will keep searching for a child lost in the forest for more than 2 years any thing could have happened to that child in the view of police from alien abduction to simply just dying of starvation. And the police will have to dig up the entire forest to find the skeleton

I dont understand all the hate for this movie those who hate on this movie dont even know what a movie is they probably hate on Shawshank redemption because there is no romance lol.

*** Kishkindha Kaandam Malayalam Movie Review ***

Directed by Dinjith Ayyathan starring Asif Ali Aparna Balamurali Vijayaraghavan in the lead role.

One Line Review : As a person who unveils the mystery when going deep into the forest, the movie takes us through the same mood.

The story which initially goes on a slow pace but thereby gives the mood of suspense, it doesn't loosen its viewing interest thanks to the stellar performance of Vijayaraghavan. As his character Appu Pillai, a retired army officer whose initial presentation was a kind of mystery but as the story moves it is through him the mystery gets unlocked.

Another stellar performance was Asif Ali. The suppressed pain which the character carries, the emotional bond towards his father, Asif Ali just captured the love of the audience. When dialogues not eyes required to reach the emotions, that areas, Asif scored very well.

Able to remember Jayasuriya 2020 movie " Anveshnam ( Investigation) & all time crime thriller DRISHYAM while watching the climax.

Coming to the technical aspect, Dinjith's direction, backed by Bahul Ramesh's eye catching cinematography & mysterious music of Mujeeb Majeed makes Kishkindha Kaandam a worth watch movie.

The slow-paced mystery thriller with elements of drama, Kishkindha Kaandam, successfully keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The solid script coupled with a talented cast delivers excellent performances, with Vijaya Raghavan standing out in his role as Appu Pillai.

The beautiful locations captured by the cinematography, along with perfect lighting, create a hauntingly atmospheric setting within the forest. The editing and background music work together seamlessly to enhance the mood and maintain the mystery of the film. There are no unnecessary scenes or shots, and the film avoids spoon-feeding the audience information, opting instead for a more subtle approach to unfolding the background story.

The dialogue is kept concise and impactful, with silence and expressions utilized effectively to convey emotions and further develop the characters. While there are a few scenes that may come across as unconvincing and lacked some logic, the overall quality of the film remains high due to its well-thought-out plot and execution.

It is a well-crafted cinematic experience that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats, intrigued by the unfolding mystery and captivated by the performances on screen.

Went for the movie without reading any reviews. Was blown away by the mastery of the craft shown by the director of the movie. Each actor played their role perfectly . Performance by Vijayaraghavan as a former army officer is commendable. Jagadish's acting was very controlled and subdued. Asif Ali and Aparna did their roles perfectly .

The script of the movie is flawless. The director has skillfully used the script and woven up the bits and pieces to make a wonderful movie.

Wonderful location near a forest. The camera man has used the nuances of the script well. Great usage of lights and shadows .

No film songs in the movie , which according to me was a good move. Back ground scores felt a little loud some times.

Overall a wonderful experience.

Somehow this movie made me remember K. G George .
