The mystery thriller is set in the monkey-inhabited Kallepathi reserve forest in Kerala, where a retired military officer, Appu Pillai (played by Vijayaraghavan), and his son, forest officer Ajay Chandran (Asif Ali), live. The film masterfully utilizes the forest setting to build suspense and a sense of isolation. wwwdvdplaymakeup kishkindha kaandam 2024 work
