A.R.M (3D) (Malayalam with English Subtitles)

A.R.M 3D at Victory Cinema A.R.M arrives at Victory Cinema as a Malayalam 3D action adventure spanning three different periods in Northern Kerala. The story follows Kunjikelu, Maniyan and Ajayan, three men from the same lineage whose lives unfold in 1900, 1950 and 1990 around a treasure of extraordinary importance. Tovino Thomas performs all three roles, giving each era its own personality, conflicts and emotional weight. Directed by debutant Jithin Laal and written by Sujith Nambiar, the film combines folklore, romance, history, social tension and large-scale action. Victory Cinema presents A.R.M in Malayalam with English subtitles for Bengaluru audiences seeking an immersive fantasy adventure experience. Tovino Thomas in three roles Tovino Thomas takes on the challenge of portraying three distinct men separated by generations. Kunjikelu belongs to an earlier heroic age and carries the stature of a warrior. Maniyan emerges as a rebellious figure shaped by injustice, skill and survival, while Ajayan lives in the 1990s under the shadow of stories and prejudices inherited from the past. The triple role allows the film to explore how courage changes across time while certain struggles remain painfully familiar. Tovino alters his physicality, expression and energy for each character, making the three men feel connected by blood without becoming copies of one another. The treasure connecting three generations The film’s central mystery revolves around a treasure that carries meaning beyond value. Across generations, powerful people seek to control it, while those closest to the land understand that ownership is tied to memory, belief and identity. The search connects the lives of Kunjikelu, Maniyan and Ajayan, revealing how one unresolved story can influence descendants decades later. A.R.M uses this treasure as the foundation for adventure, but also as a symbol of heritage and dignity. The question is not merely who can find or steal it, but who has the moral right to protect what an entire community considers sacred. Maniyan and the power of legend Maniyan is positioned as one of the film’s most striking figures, a man whose reputation survives long after his time. He moves through a world shaped by social hierarchy and suspicion, relying on intelligence, agility and fearlessness when society refuses him ordinary respect. His story brings darker energy to the narrative and strengthens the film’s themes of exclusion and resistance. Rather than presenting him only as a legendary thief, A.R.M asks audiences to consider the conditions that create legends and criminals in society. His choices echo into Ajayan’s life, making the past an active force rather than a distant memory. Ajayan and the weight of the past Ajayan provides the audience’s closest connection to the film’s recent timeline. Living in the 1990s, he carries the burden of a family name associated with Maniyan and faces judgement before people understand who he truly is. His relationship with Lakshmi, played by Krithi Shetty, adds romance and tenderness to a life complicated by social prejudice and inherited reputation. Ajayan wants dignity, love and an ordinary future, yet circumstances draw him towards the same mystery that shaped earlier generations. His journey asks whether a person can escape the story society has already written for his family or must confront it directly. Krithi Shetty and the ensemble Krithi Shetty appears as Lakshmi, bringing warmth to Ajayan’s emotional world and making her Malayalam film debut. Their relationship gives the adventure a personal stake because Ajayan is not fighting only to solve an old mystery. He is also trying to preserve the possibility of a future in which he can be loved without being reduced to his ancestry. Aishwarya Rajesh and Surabhi Lakshmi appear in important roles connected to the different timelines, helping the film give each generation its own emotional relationships. Rohini, Basil Joseph, Jagadish and other familiar performers further expand the world surrounding the central family. Jithin Laal’s fantasy world Director Jithin Laal builds A.R.M from folklore, fantasy fiction and oral stories passed between generations. The three-period structure allows the film to move from heroic legend to rebellion and finally into a recognisable modern setting without abandoning the same core mystery. This approach gives the screenplay opportunities for visual echoes, repeated symbols and revelations that gain new meaning when seen from another era. The director’s challenge is to make a large mythic story remain emotionally accessible, and the film centres that task on one family whose experiences reveal how history, memory and prejudice can survive long after individual lives end. Northern Kerala in immersive 3D The Northern Kerala setting gives A.R.M a distinctive visual and cultural identity. Forests, village spaces, ritual imagery, old structures and changing landscapes help separate the three timelines while preserving the feeling that every generation occupies the same remembered world. Cinematographer Jomon T. John shapes the film’s period atmosphere and action passages, while production design recreates environments moving across almost a century. The 3D presentation adds depth to landscapes, movement and fantasy imagery, making the film especially suited to theatrical viewing. For Bengaluru audiences, the format offers an opportunity to experience Malayalam folklore and period adventure on an expansive cinema screen. Action across three eras Action is an important part of A.R.M because its heroes belong to different historical circumstances and cannot fight in identical ways. The film’s pre-release material highlights swordplay, physical combat, pursuit and movement influenced by traditional martial forms. Kunjikelu’s heroic presence, Maniyan’s agility and Ajayan’s desperation create different kinds of confrontation while maintaining a shared sense of inherited courage. Large-scale action gains impact through 3D, where weapons, landscapes and rapid movement occupy greater visual depth. Yet the strongest fights remain connected to character: each man is defending something larger than himself, whether honour, freedom, love or the right to truly remember. Music by Dhibu Ninan Thomas Dhibu Ninan Thomas composes the songs and background score, giving the film a musical world moving between romance, folklore, adventure and mystery. Kiliye, released before the film, introduces a lyrical and emotional side through the voices of K. S. Harisankar and Anila Rajeev, while the larger score supports the changing eras and escalating search for the treasure. Music is important in a story built around legend because recurring melodies can connect events separated by decades. In a cinema auditorium, percussion, voices and atmospheric sound combine with 3D visuals to make rituals, chases, discoveries and emotional revelations feel larger and more immediate. Malayalam 3D with English subtitles A.R.M carries a U/A certificate and has a listed runtime of approximately two hours and twenty-three minutes.
