A landmark film in Tovino Thomas' career
Sujith�s script, however, seems to hold back at certain points, likely due to concerns about backlash, given that it�s a mainstream film. This restraint was unnecessary, especially since the movie centres around Ajayan and Maniyan. While Sujith occasionally struggles with smoothly transitioning between timelines, the material from each storyline is well-balanced, with Ajayan�s narrative getting the most screen time rightfully, followed closely by Maniyan�s. Although the writer does a good job of fleshing out the major characters, Sudev doesn�t quite live up to the buildup, partly because of the overt focus on Ajayan. By drawing parallels between events in Maniyan�s and Ajayan�s lives, Sujith also transforms their village into a key character, highlighting the superficiality of both the place and its people.(more)

Decent concept, underwhelming execution
ARM (Ajayante Randam Moshanam) is a period action adventure drama featuring adequate performances from Tovino Thomas in three distinct roles. However, its predictability and lackluster screenplay limit its overall appeal. While it has potential, the film�s shortcomings in writing and pacing may affect its enjoyment. Fans of the genre might find it worth a watch but should keep their expectations in check.(more)
