Film Review

 "Kishkindha Kaandam" is a gripping mystery thriller that explores the complexities of human relationships and the secrets people keep. The movie revolves around Appu Pillai (Vijayaraghavan), a retired military officer, and his son Ajayan (Asif Ali), who is married to Aparna (Aparna Balamurali). When Appu Pillai's licensed gun goes missing, Aparna's curiosity is piqued, and she starts investigating, unraveling a web of secrets and lies.

The film has received praise for its taut narrative, outstanding performances, and atmospheric setting. Vijayaraghavan's portrayal of Appu Pillai is particularly noteworthy, bringing depth and nuance to the character. Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali also deliver strong performances, adding to the film's tension and emotional weight.

The movie's cinematography and background score have also been praised for creating a sense of foreboding and unease. The forest setting, where the story unfolds, becomes an integral part of the narrative, adding to the mystery and suspense.

However, some critics have noted that the film's pacing can be slow, and the portrayal of Chachu, the missing boy, is somewhat one-dimensional. Nevertheless, "Kishkindha Kaandam" is a well-crafted mystery thriller that keeps viewers engaged until the very end

Rating 4.5/5
