A Malayalam movie titled 'Kishkindha Kaandam' has recently been released, with no big stars, no grand plot, no mass songs, or action sequences—just a simple story with suspense and excellent direction.
Despite its modest production budget of 7 crores, the film has garnered 75 crores in collections. These numbers are not inflated by the typical "fraudulent collections" often seen with big Telugu heroes.
This success shows that the audience has supported it, proving that people will watch quality content, even without the usual commercial elements.
The film has now been released on Disney Hotstar. The director's closing dialogue, which reflects that both truth and lies are necessary for life to progress, sums up the theme.
The story centers on Ajay, whose wife dies and son goes missing, with Aparna Balamurali playing the second wife.
Ajay’s father, a former army officer, has a missing gun, which is later found in the hand of a monkey.
The director masterfully spins the story around this quirky premise, maintaining suspense and intrigue throughout, showing that how a story is told organically.
