No actually i feel you are right. Everytime Appu Pillai burns the waste at the exact same place even after forgetting. This could be like a muscle reaction for a dementia person
That'd be too much spoon feeding . I don't believe that they'll make a flawless script and leave such an easy clue . There'd be something harder to find. If there's any

From a woman's POV it was a problematic movie. Marital rape took place and they all glossed over it without giving enough importance to the wife's trauma. I know it happens daily but they had a good chance to NOT normalise it.
@@Nallavanaaya-unniThe theme itself is problematic bruv And the movie justifies it whether you like it or not Yes Asif Ali did great But the movie itself is problematic
I used to to be an ardent Hollywood fan watching those amazing movies the pre marvel era uptill the 2012 alhtough i like marvel they have ruined hollywood. Great movies just pop out so so rarely, now i am an ardent mollywood fan cause its a great era to be if you know Malayalam language.ARM is exceptional in technical aspects it baffles me that i am watching such a film in my own language. Like wise minnal murali too was a interesting take on the super hero genre. Waiting for more of such science fiction and action movies that can level up the whole industry.
I beg to differ.. writing in 8 days ..that too a brilliant scipt and watertight screenplay is no small feat . Writing doesnt come easy even to most celebrated writers.

In one scene appu pillai checking news paper cuttings and Appu Pillai also mentioned as naxelite attackers of police station but Sumadhan(22) Appu Pillai(17) so since he is minor may be not mentioned in official records.
No doubt, it's a very good movie. If we look closely, we can see that the theme is heavily inspired by Shutter Island. I'll try to provide a brief summary of why I think so : Similarities (in theme, not the entire story): 1. The protagonist is in search of a missing person. 2. After a while, we learn that the protagonist has issues with his memory. He repeats his actions and continues trying to find the missing person. 3. The protagonist only remembers what he wants to remember (in Kishkindha Kandam, the hero's father suffers from a similar condition). 4. In Shutter Island, the protagonist eventually realizes that his wife killed their children. In *Kishkindha Kandam*, the hero’s wife accidentally kills a child. 5. In Shutter Island, the protagonist has a friend who is a cop, but at the very end of the movie, it is revealed that he is actually a psychologist treating the protagonist for his mental illness.
@@AllThingsCinemaVodcasthe took his wife to hospital, why couldn't he put just another body All this to satisfy father's ego? What if Asif had another child ? Would he stll let his father to live without getting treatment? Stil loved the movie
@@iamhereok Obviously he can't.The kid was shot dead . It doesn't matter if that was an accident, his mother killed the child and that's a murder. Ajayan was saving not only his father but also his wife in case she survived. His father found out in his investigation one of them accidently killed the child and destroyed the evidence.So that was a truth better forgotten as if it was no use , nothing would bring the boy back to life in his PoV. A child's responsibility is on their parents no matter the circumstances and it won't go unpunished by the law.
It was a loop hole and I felt like the story didn't reach anywhere 😌 Only Appupilla knows where the child was hidden Ajayan didn't tell his father that he was dead and his mother shot him. When Appupilla came, he must have seen the child dead, in his sudden frenzy, he hide his body, but the next moment, he must have forgotten, that is, as if nothing had happened, he saw his son drinking porridge with ease. He knows that it was his son or daughter-in-law who killed the child, so that no one knows that all the evidence is burned, then he is looking for the child without even knowing what was burned. Ajayan is unable to find where the child was hidden due to his father's forgetfulness, that is why Ajayan does not stop his father's search.
Thats wot the director said in an interview..He said ,his idea was not to throw ..twist after twist through out the movie,like we usually see in thriller movies….its a mind fcuk movie in short…💀..in my mind,, even one of the monkeys was the culprit at one point of time...😁…Only Asif knows the truth..what if the story he fed to Aparna was a lie..what if the kid was killed by Asif ..His 1st wife is no more to prove otherwise , in fact nobody else is there who knows the truth.. ..He is the only reliable person who can tell the real story💀
I heard reviews that this film is as good as Drishyam and so only went to watch it. But I’m depressed. You can never compare it with Drishyam. There is no thrilling crime story in this. The gun was accidentally shot by kid himself, which resulted in his death. What is thrilling in this? Didn’t feel like I’ve watched a movie after coming out of theater. But the acting of all actors and the scenery was nice. I watched ARM last week, it is a super film, you feel like you have watched something when you come out of the theater. I give 90% for ARM, and 45 to 55% mark only for this film.
Asif or wife? It's still a mystery who accidentally killed their son? All this time asif hid the truth to his 2nd wife which he could have revealed earlier to his 2nd wife but didn't,that shows his character insecurity and non trust to the close ones. Therefore if he accidentally kills his son ,no way he can reveal it. instead in the moment time comes when 2nd wife comes closer to the case investigation, reveal to his 2nd wife where he twisted the incident 😮.
I suspect Asif Ali in this story. Loophole, I feel, is when the son is gun-shot by his mother; blood is supposed to be scattered in her body and her clothes as it was a close-range shot, but it was never found by doctors when she was admitted to the hospital by Asif Ali. The doctors would have definitely questioned if a third person's blood was found in her body or on the clothes she was wearing at that time.
The story was written in 8 days but the formalities of forest, police procedure of submitting guns at election time etc are checked by ads and updated/ reworked asper the writer.
I do think the movie needs to be viewed from another angle where Ajayan is an unreliable narrator feeding Aparna with information that has quite a few holes in it.Appu Pillai is a medal winning expert marksman who has more chances of shooting down a monkey than a 7 year old kid.Its also probable that Appu Pillai is the one who accidentally killed the child in the evening as well. Probably Ajayan with the help of Sumadathan buried the body.Makes more sense why Appu Pillai has doubts on his own involvement .Ajayan is presenting a sanitized version of the story to Aparna who is more concerned about solving a mystery than letting bygones be bygones.This is Ajayan's way of handling Aparna where the crime is justified and Appu Pillai and Praveena's medical condition is used to present a melancholy tale and also forcing Aparna to keep her mouth shut .No way this loop can go on for more than 2 years.The hospital ,which is around 100 kms in Kozhikode, will not indulge repeated frivolous requests for medical reports beyond a point.Appu Pillai never left the house much till recently, so the repeated loop is an exaggeration by Ajayan. I think Appu Pillai 'solved' the mystery maybe a couple of times and forgot about it till the intimation letter came and the loop started.
Gun not kept in safe custody why already one 8ncudent happened,bullet also and that too frm a person who 8s well organized and ex military it is OK now hero police is also zero why ,OK because medical ,OK,film good acting and after all films story and sucess is on the capturing the emotions on which films run ,good ,but malyalsm films are made this way ,new generations are seei g it now but many malayalam films of yesteryear does were made on good emotions, tragedy ,comedy,cruelty,love ,pathos and even sentiments ,good turning point ,
I have a theory Why Vijayaraghavan didnt want anyone to enter his room Some one could find the gun, or some one could piece together the case and solve it as he does in each loop Also if Vijayaraghavan had found out if he had done it , he would have turned himself in
Im also malayali. It's not. It's the best, and it's unique in its way. There are so many layers. And u won't find any movie like that in malayalam. One of a Kind. So many storis the layerd 1.Chachu vs the monkeys 2.Granpa with demetia his side 3. Mystery of a dad 4.Aparnas charactor is the viewer whos is trying to find the truth
Can you believe its the freaking movie has a Monkey with a gun in the movie posing for photo . And its freaking awsome 😂 . A forest with missing boy and falling toys from tree . World building at its best.
24:26 The three wise monkeys, got the below from another decoding video of the movie (Spoiler ahead) 1. Appu Pillai do not speak, the forest officer also comments why does he stay mute when questioned 2. Ajayan saw the dead Chachu, and then unsee the body. 3. Aparna is told about the incident, but then pretends to not hear in the last scene where they board the train to identify another dead body.

Nona you are spot on mentioning Nolan. The writer mentioned he was listning to song/bgm of inception and intersteller while writing the story.

No actually i feel you are right.
Everytime Appu Pillai burns the waste at the exact same place even after forgetting. This could be like a muscle reaction for a dementia person
Also this keeps him reminding to not to sell that land..like he sold where he burried the monkey.
This was my thought too. In that whole land why does he burn it in that place for 3years?
That'd be too much spoon feeding .
I don't believe that they'll make a flawless script and leave such an easy clue .
There'd be something harder to find. If there's any

Vijay Raghavan - He saw the body of kid but didn’t see anything monkey
Aparna - Ends she knows everything after heard Asif but act like not heard anything
