ARM is a fairytale. It has magic, mystery and magnificent visuals and a very happy ending. Directed by Jithin Lal and written by Sujith, ARM is something you should experience in the cinema in 3D if possible. This is an example how a fairytale should be told. Great visuals, mesmerizing music and impeccable performances.
Tovi's triple performance in ARM is a revelation. As Ajayan, Kelu, and especially Maniyan, he delivers unforgettable characters. The film's engaging narrative, stunning visuals, and exceptional performances make it a must-watch. There are so many actors in this movie and they all have , even though a little, but something to do that leaves an impact. Like the character played by Biju Kuttan or Jagadish or even Sudheesh...They all complete the story.
But, what made me fall in love with ARM is Tovi's incredible performance as Maniyan. He is a captivating force. Tovi's portrayal of this complex character is nothing short of extraordinary. His nuanced performance captures Maniyan's wrath, humor, his invincible love for his wife Manikyam, and an underlying mystery with remarkable depth. For me, Maniyan is Tovi's career best performance.
The director's ( Jithin Lal ) debut is a testament to his talent and vision. ARM is a beautifully crafted film that leaves a lasting impression. It's a cinematic gem that deserves to be celebrated. Congratulations Jithin and Tovi.
I'm going with a very happy 4 stars for ARM
