Kishkindha Kaandam

*** 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 way this movie starts right off by placing the gun and Appupillai at the centre and then moves on by slowly revealing things to the audience bit by bit was refreshing. The film never loses its momentum and the way it makes you empathize with the characters and the way it makes you shift your thinking on things are just beautiful. People should see it without knowing too much about it and enjoy the way everything unfolds. For some reason, even with some heavy themes, this was kind of a relaxing watch for me and the ending did make me very emotional. It's possible that it could grow on me even more in the future and it may be worth some rewatches.

Recently started to watch Malayalam movie in Hindi dubbed Version... movies is amazingly written..it's start with slow pace but climax is decent..the retired army men with forgotten memories with Carring son has living in village around forest area.. initially movie started with lost gun and then turn into mystery... main actors has done satisfactory acting..their ego and problems has crafted very well in movie..direction is decent no unnecessary subplot..this is not typical entertainment movie but emotional rollercoaster..all things has been explained well in last 30 minutes.. overall decent engaging thriller..

My Rating 9.4!!

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 .
