For film analytics, ‘Kishkindha Kaandam’, the newly released Malayalam movie is indisputably actor Asif Ali’s career best. The movie is doing wonders at the box office while due credits continue to fall on the mesmerizing screenplay and masterly performance of the lead characters.
All eyes are now fixated on the box office collections. But one astonishing fact from the movie left many perplexed. Not many would instantly accept this reality in one go. What evoked interest from people was the location chosen by both movies.
The old traditional Kerala house belonging to Olappamanna family in Ottapalam wears many faces. Seeing both images might make anyone give second thoughts and we can't question that. This is nothing but a laureal to the exemplary artwork from Jyotish Shankar for the movie Bramayugam.
The long shrubs, leaky roofs and the wide open patio would even make the owners difficult to recognize their house. The meticulous representation of the bygone era and the anarchic characters infused a reality that even added charm to the movie.
However, the eerie similarity in the location used by the two films has already generated awe in netizens. The same house has been a vital part of Mollywood over the years, gracing in many movies including 'Narasimham' and 'Valliyettan'.
