The latest blockbuster movie of the Malayalam industry, ‘Kishkindhaa Kaandam’ has announced its OTT Release post its humongous success on the big screens. How well can it be received on the OTT platform?
‘Kishkindhaa Kaandam’ is a psychological mystery drama thriller that focuses on biodiversity and forest conservation. The story is set in the Kallepathi forest division, located on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border, and highlights the impact of imposing CrPC or BNSS Section 144 on a family.
As per the premise, the family consists of the most advanced and civilized species – humans, encountering a serious and sensitive impact. The main lead explains the monkey species living in the forest and hints at their lineage as descendants of Lord Hanuman and Sugriva from the great epic.
Regarding the positive side, the factors of the flick claim it as a brilliant one due to its traits like well-executed screenplay and handling of cinematography by Bahul Ramesh, efficient editing by Sooraj E S, and splendid direction by Dinjith Ayyathan. Also, the performances of actors Asif Ali, Vijayaraghavan, Jagadish, Aparna Balamurali, and Ashokan were mind-blowing.
The application of Hitchcock’s suspense theory is the movie’s plot device with ‘secret’ as its tool. Though it has a plot-driven narrative, the credible reports appreciate the performances which is the strength of the film.
Moreover, the movie has a record for the highest number of pre-booking sales in twenty-four hours on the ‘Book My Show’ app, becoming a ‘dark horse’.
Subsequently, the ubiquitous storytelling that is set up in a ‘world of the forest’ can connect to any viewers despite its regional boundaries and hence the content helps in breaking this shackle.
Furthermore, this flick will be the best reference for the audience to witness how content can help a cinema spread like wildfire.
Digital rights to the movie have been acquired for a great amount by the Disney+Hotstar platform, which is expected to stream the effort from the 1st of November.
