ARM X Review: Netizens Hail Tovino Thomas In Triple Role, Call It 'Best Ever Performance'

Ajayante Randam Moshanam X Review: Tovino Thomas starrer ARM has finally hit the theatres after a long wait. The action-adventure drama helmed by Jithin Laal is set in northern Kerala in the 1900s, 1950's and 1990's three generations of heroes, trying to protect the most important treasure of the land. It seems the movie buffs enjoyed the action-adventure as the reviews on the social media handle are all hailing Tovino's performance and the action sequence. They are hailing the second half of the movie, which adds a "thrilling edge" to the narrative.

'Delivering a film that's both engaging and visually rich,' say netizens

The X is flooded with the reviews posted by the Malayalam movie buffs who watched the early show of the film. A user wrote, "#ARM [2024] is a visually captivating film with a beautiful folk tale at its core. Tovino shines, especially in the action sequences. The treasure hunt mode in the second half adds a thrilling edge, keeping you engaged. Jithin Lal’s debut as director is good, delivering a film that's both engaging and visually rich. Jomon T. John’s cinematography is  impressive. The rest cast, including Kriti and Surabhi, did their part well. An ideal watch in this Onam season."

Another wrote, "Terrifficc Experience. @ttovino You nailed it Man. Visually and technically adaaaru item from #JithinLaal and team. What a making!! BlockBuster."

A fan wrote in Malayalam which we loosely translated to English, "#ARM stands out in Malayalam cinema where pan Indian films that came with great expectations turn out to be huge failures because of the weightlessness of expectations.. The recent history of Malayalam cinema clearly shows that it will benefit the cinema..."

"#TovinoThomas as Maniyan was his ever best performance in recent times. Maniyan will be Pakka show stealers in entire movie and going to get lot of praises in coming days. Onam winner," wrote another fan.
