Mollywood Star Hero Tovino Thomas Most Awaited Pan India Fantasy Movie ARM. The film has hit the screens today. And let’s go to the review and find out how much it pleased the audience!
Story:
In Ajayan’s (Tovino Thomas) clan, the men spend their lives stealing. Ajayan is insulted by everyone in the village since his childhood due to his birth in that clan. Even though he is away from theft, the police suspect Ajayan of thefts in the village. A most precious idol is coming into Ajayan’s life in the background of some dramatic developments in this sequence. What is the story of that statue with so much history?, what is the adventure of Kunjikelu (first generation Tovino Thomas) for it?, also what is the story of Manian (second generation Tovino Thomas)?, what did he achieve?, finally what twists and turns will Ajayan’s story take?, Kriti in between How did Ajayan’s love story with Shetty go? That’s the rest of the story.
Plus Points:
By adding three periods and interlinking three characters, the director has designed the play well at some places. Also, Tovino Thomas, who acted in three roles like Manian, Ajayan, Kunjikelu.. acted brilliantly. In this film itself with his mature performance
Tovino Thomas gave the best performance. Tovino stood out with his trademark performance especially in some difficult action scenes and intense emotions as well as fantastic fights.
Surbhi Lakshmi, who played another key role, acted very well. The scenes between her and Tovino Thomas were also very good. Overall, she got a memorable role in this film. Kriti Shetty also acted well in the role of the heroine. Also, Aishwarya Rajesh and Basil Joseph are convincing in their roles. Nistar Saith, Jagdish, Pramod Shetty and other key actors also impressed with their performances. Director Jitin Lal’s taking and making style are very good. The background of the story is also a plus for the movie.
Minus Points:
The director who designed the character of Ajayan and the scenes of that character Taluk Vamsam very well, did not write the treatment of this film to the same extent. He failed to write an interesting story especially in the second half. Some scenes feel slow and regular. It would have been better if the mind game between the hero and the villain had been built more interestingly. Also the idol track needs to be well established.
All in all, except in the climax, the rest of the story lacks interest. Although the story could have been made more interesting, director Jitin Lal ended the film in his own style. Overall, though the hero characterization and BGM are good, the movie feels average. The movie would have been better if the villain character had been written more strongly along with the second half screenplay.
Technical Department:
Although director Jitin Lal was impressed with his take, he could not write the screenplay in a fully impressive way for the story line taken. The background score in the movie is good. Music director Dhibu Ninan Thomas has scored the songs. Cinematography is also good. Most of the scenes in the movie have been shot very beautifully. When it comes to editing, editor Shameer Mohammed had to reduce some of the stretched scenes here and there. Producers Listyn Stephen and Zachariah Thomas have made this film without compromising anywhere. Their production values are very good.
Verdict:
In this film called ‘ARM’ as a periodical action entertainer.. Tovino Thomas’ acting and his characterization and action scenes, as well
Some periodic thrilling elevations and emotions are good. However, the screenplay is slow, there are more lag scenes in the movie, especially the second half is not completely impressive. Overall only a few periodic action elements connect in this film.
