Will ‘Kishkindha Kaandam’ Emerge as a Dark Horse

The Malayalam film industry is ongoing a profound week in delivering a brilliant piece of work for its region. Last day’s releases ‘A.R.M’ and ‘Kishkindha Kaandam’ have been receiving positive responses from the audience and both are reported to the must-watch flicks category.

‘Kishkindha Kaandam’ talks about an unsolved mysterious case that is held back in the world of forest and it travels through a three-person perspective. It has subtle references to the epic ‘Ramayana’ including the title. 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.

Technical labour is also claimed excellent in handling cinematography and screenplay by Bahul Ramesh, editing by Sooraj E S, and direction by Dinjith Ayyathan respectively. Also, the performances by actors Asif Ali, Aparna Balamurali, and Vijayaraghavan are the pillars of the film, and supporting actors Jagadish and Ashokan’s characters are noteworthy.

However, the flick seems to have a lack of promotions compared to its competitors even though it drives its best in content-rich aspects. Actor Aparna Balamurali is popular in other industries for her roles in Tamil movies like ‘Soorarai Pottru’ and the recently released ‘Raayan’ which can have a positive effect on the movie.

Moreover, the flick can have the potential to fill the theatres with its regional audiences by making it a commercial success and balustrade the film industry’s economy.
