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..
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.

Kishkindha Kaandam - A tale of three wise monkeys
An emotional thriller showcasing the suppressed feelings and underlying truths to stay covered purposely and unknowingly by the familia what they like to call it fate or destiny and live by it.
Dinjith Ayyathan & Bahul Ramesh - You guys deserves a bow down .This is a new benchmark for thrillers.
This is the best thriller film from Malayalam released in this decade. Bahul Ramesh has conceived the idea and Dinjith has executed the story leaving no loose ends.
Dinjith has made a terrific comeback with a masterpiece movie though his initial release could not reap commercial success. His name will be engraved in golden letters among the list of Malayalam directors who has shocked the audience with exceptional thrillers.
The initial first half of the movie sets background for the formation of the storyline and the movie elevates to next level towards the interval with suprises,endless doubts and answers in the minds of the audience recurrent shocks and goosebumps throughout the later half leaving the viewers clueless shows the brilliance of the script. The climax sequence stands as a true embodiment of emotional breakdown which will be one of the most discussed and favourite sequence of this movie.
Vijay Raghavan,an actor par excellence has lived as Appupillai through his myriad performance. Asif Ali has given a splendid performance in this movie through his layered character portrayal uncovering suppressed emotions,pain and relief and how he conveys emotions on screen through his eyes is simply lit .Aparna Balamurali has made a poised performance of her character alongside Asif and Vijayaraghavan. Notable performances by Jagadish,Nishaan,Nizhaigal Ravi & Ashokan in the movie.
Kudos to Bahul for the brilliant visuals of the pristine nature and Mujeeb's BGM's added more colour,life and appeal to the beauty of the location. The efforts behind the precise cuts by Sooraj for giving the best experienceon screen is worth mentioning. The praise about the movie is endless.
A complete paisa vasool deal and don't wait for OTT release.
100% satisfaction guaranteed. A must watch movie in theatres for an enthralling experience and long haunting memories of the story.
Rating - 5/5.

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.
