Declaration

We're clapping for the cast and crew for a splendid job! They achieved so much with so little, well done!

---Watching Ariyippu's trailer, we thought it was going to be one of those films about society bashing women for being in an intimate video. But Mahesh Narayanan used a different and better approach through a heavy inclusion of symbolism

-Ariyippu was extremely quiet, the passive atmosphere was due to the story taking place during the pandemic lockdown. The serenity was necessary to analyze and reflect on the narrative.

-The handheld camera was very appreciated to demonstrate the feelings of uneasiness, anxiety, and tension hovering over the characters throughout the story

-So many symbols made the screenplay rich and full of layers, however, we're just going to zoom in on the reason why a glove-making business was at the center of the film as opposed to any other.

We usually use gloves to keep hands free of dirt, fingerprint tracks, contamination, etc. Bottom line is to keep ourselves clean and this was the objective of the factory, Hareesh, and Reshmi.

In the end, they all unknowingly adopted the glove mentality for good and bad reasons

-No need to talk about performance when we had pros on set! From the main cast to the supporting cast, everyone was natural and fantastic

-Ariyippu is a hidden treasure that has so much to offer, a good example of how you can achieve a lot with a simple cast, locations, and production.
