Aarkkariyam is directed by Sanu John Varghese starring Biju Menon, Parvathy thiroth , Sharrafudheen in lead roles.
Roy and Shirley who lives in Mumbai plans to visit shirleys Father Ittyevara at Kottayam just before Covid Nation wide lockdown. Movie proceeds as a family drama until a revelation about past comes to picture. With the concept or plot director would have created a seat edge thriller but he sticked on with a slow narration giving importance to personal feelings and behaviour during different situations. Eventhough the narration is slow certain dialogues and very good performance from lead actors keeps us engaging.
Verdict : An engaging slowly narrated thriller drama
7/10
