It is showering praise from all quarters for ‘Kishkindha Kaandam’, the movie starring Asif Ali and veteran Vijayaraghavan. Apart from other Onam releases, ‘Kishkindha’ was low-key when it came to promotions. And now, the tide has changed with movie tickets selling like hotcakes all across Kerala during a busy Onam season.

Nobody expected the movie to hit gold amidst many big releases in Onam. And now, amidst the flurry of positive reviews, actor Anoop Menon’s Facebook post is generating a lot of responses.

Anoop Menon:

“A film with brilliance written over it. Screenplay, direction and cinematography compete with each other to bring out a gem of a movie. Bahul and Dinjith, welcome to the future. Asif has cemented his position as the most bankable actor in the mollywood of present times. Vjayaraghavan with his nuances is enviously dot on. Jagadheesh and Ashokan added to the gravitas.”

The movie is directed by Dinjith Ayyathan and written by Bahul Ramesh. The cinematography is also helmed by Bahul. Critics are singing paeans for the film, calling it Mollywood’s finest ever slow thriller genre movie.
