About the Movie
Set against the mysterious backdrop of the monkey-inhabited Kallepathi reserve forest, *Kishkindha Kaandam* weaves a suspenseful tale centered around Appu Pillai, an ex-military officer, and his son Ajay Chandran, a forest officer. Their secluded lives are disrupted by strange and unsettling events that echo through the dense wilderness, drawing in a newlywed couple and forest officials as they seek to uncover the truth behind the disturbances.
The film explores the tension between human vulnerability and nature’s enigmatic forces, framed by the looming presence of monkeys and the legacy of the forest. As the story unfolds, layers of family dynamics, local politics, and hidden secrets emerge, revealing how external pressures—such as an impending election and the confiscation of firearms—impact the inhabitants’ fragile equilibrium.
While inspired by the title referencing the Kishkindha chapter of the Ramayana, the film is not a direct adaptation but rather a psychological thriller that uses the symbolism of the forest and its creatures to reflect on human fears, power struggles, and resilience. The narrative balances mystery with emotional depth, highlighting the characters’ complex relationships and their fight to maintain control in a world where ancient and modern conflicts collide.
