    To all of those who had been fooled by negetive comments

    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 - A new benchmark for thrillers

    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.

    Poignant

    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.

    " Brillaint film packed with brilliant performances and a thrilling screenplay "

    ~ ' Kishkkinda Kaandam ' directed by Dinjith Ayyathan is a mystery thriller which revolves around a simple plot which as the film goes on unveils a lot of secrets. I don't want to share anything about the plot because it's best going into the theatres without knowing anything about what you are going to witness. The film stars Asif Ali , Vijayaraghavan and Aparna Balamurali. The film is set in a very beautiful forest area in Kerala and that added a lot to the mystery of the film. The film is packed with outstanding performances from the cast especially the leads Asif Ali , Vijayaraghavan and Aparna Balamurali. Asif Ali and Vijayaraghavan was just simply mesmerizing to watch. The film from a technical standpoint also stands out with such beautiful cinematography, great score , edge of the seat screenplay , attention to details etc. The film demands audience's attention and the audience will definitely be rewarded for it , hence the film was very thrilling and made me involved or part of the story that is unfolding. Overall , I loved the film , I loved the performances and it's a great thriller for anyone who loves watching thriller films.
