Ariyippu: Overall

Overall, Ariyippu is a decent film worth watching to know why you shouldn't be careless about what you do. (Watched its India premiere at the 2022 International Film Festival of India in Goa.) Ariyippu holds a mirror to the morality and conscience of the human mind. It is a battle between doing what is right and the innate need to lead a better life, which often exposes the flawed morality of the most perfect race on this planet. In his latest venture, Ariyippu , Mahesh Narayanan uses a character-driven approach to address a subject driven by moral dilemmas and masculine ego. A plot that felt very one-dimensional gets considerable depth when Mahesh cleverly mixed it up with a corrupt system that was in the backdrop. With a making that keeps everything raw, Ariyippu hits the sweet spot towards the end. Ariyippu (transl. Declaration) is a 2022 Indian Malayalam -language drama film written and directed by Mahesh Narayanan. The film is produced by Shebin Backer, under the banner of Shebin Backer Productions, Kunchacko Boban under the banner of Kunchacko Boban Productions and Mahesh Narayanan himself under the Moving Narratives banner.
