The film could have benefited from more compelling elements, such as a deeper exploration of Muniyan’s vision for the treasure, which would have added intrigue and interest.
The Telugu dubbing is passable, though more care could have been taken in translating the signboards. The lack of detailed attention makes it feel like an ordinary dubbed film.
Technical Aspects:
Jithin Lal’s decision to take on this story for his debut is notable, but its execution suffers due to writing flaws. Jomon T. John delivers some visually captivating shots, while Dhinu Ninan Thomas’s music enhances several scenes. However, Shameer Muhammed’s editing could have been tighter, particularly in both halves of the film, to improve the pacing. The production values are satisfactory.
Verdict:
Overall, A.R.M (Ajayante Randam Moshanam) is a period action-adventure drama that features decent performances from Tovino Thomas in three distinct roles. However, its predictable plot and uninspired screenplay limit its overall impact. While it shows promise, the film’s issues in writing and pacing might reduce the level of enjoyment. Fans of the genre may still find it worth watching, though it’s best to manage expectations.
