This post is a discussion about the movie which released recently in Malayalam.
I like enjoyable movies of all genre but carry a special interest in science fiction drama kind of movies. Hence, This one was my first choice to watch in theatres.
One thing is crystal clear that Malayalam cinema has never ever tried something like this for a long period of time which gave a fresh experience on the screen. Though being new is not a guarantee that a movie will be interesting and compelling throughout. However, this movie created a compelling experience for me.
My interpretation of the movie
I like enjoyable movies of all genre but carry a special interest in science fiction drama kind of movies. Hence, This one was my first choice to watch in theatres.
One thing is crystal clear that Malayalam cinema has never ever tried something like this for a long period of time which gave a fresh experience on the screen. Though being new is not a guarantee that a movie will be interesting and compelling throughout. However, this movie created a compelling experience for me.
Why did I like the movie?
1. LAYERED SCRIPT :
* spoiler alert *
From the beginning, when young Prithvi's father played by Prithvi himself tells him that you should ask questions till you get the answers and a time will come when people will say that there are no answers for some questions. AND THAT IS FALSE...
And this opening scene conveys a lot when you see the end scene of the movie according to me.
Whether there was a real character called Aira was the unanswered question which Prithviraj asks his son in this movie. Let's discuss the answer according to my understanding at the end of the last scene.
Now, let's look into the layers in which the story is told.
In this movie, human relationship and the influence of external forces move parallelly.
Dialogues which showcase the theme of the story
1. Prithviraj tells his friend when asked that humans are enough to destroy the planet. There is no need for a comet to come and do it.
2. Aira character played by Waqima tells Prithviraj that the only weapon which the human race has against her is love.
Are you getting a clue of what the theme is?
If not we will look through that at the end.

2. BEAUTIFUL VISUALS FOR STORY AND NOT MERE TO SHOW THE BEAUTY:
This movie is strictly not for those who sit in a movie theatre with a mobile phone on hand with one finger on the keypad.
Because then you miss a lot of details which are shown visually to you to enjoy it with its all flavor.
1.Aira walking through the steps with the candle.
2. Her legs whenever shown, whenever not shown.
3. Redline in the sky throughout.
4. The scene where Prithviraj faces the animal and then Aira.
3. LAST SCENE OF THE MOVIE :
Now let's discuss the theme of the movie or How the total movie is described through the last scene of paintings.
The first image of tribals celebrating around the campfire.
Remember !!! If you have seen the movie you must have remembered prakash raj telling about those tribal people living in the Himalayas knowing a lot of secrets.
Then we see them fighting each other with bows and arrows.
And then the wolf which represents the animal in every person.
And after everything, the last one is the ghost resembling Aira.
The story told by tribals: A man turns animal and then evil when the comet passes by during these 9 days and to fight that love and devotion is the only way.
Scientifically: Like the psychological condition of a little mentally unstable person goes worse when the moon comes nearby. It's like that hence concentrating your mind through beads towards one thing like god and filling yourselves with sweet emotions will help during these 9 days.
These are my views and analysis of the movie.
The magic of art is such that it sometimes goes deep beyond the imagination of the creator.
One thing is for sure that this movie is a compelling art experience.
