Ariyippu

Reshmi (Divya Prabha) and Hareesh (Kunchacko Boban) are a couple from Kerala who works in a medical glove manufacturing factory in the National Capital Region ( ...

The symbolism of Reshmi's ring to portray her shackles seemed a little too on the nose. Ariyippu holds a mirror to the morality and conscience of the human mind. Hareesh embarks on a silent mission to find out the culprits behind the video. However, COVID decides to put a dampener on things, forcing the couple to hang on to their 'transit' job indefinitely. The movie opens with Hareesh shooting a 'skill video' of Reshmi, a prerequisite for acquiring a job visa. For them, the job is a stepping stone towards a life outside India.

Ariyippu, starring Kunchacko Boban and Divya Prabha in the lead role, is streaming on Netflix.

But, it's not shelved. Meanwhile, director Mahesh Narayanan will also collaborate with Kamal Haasan for a film. Apart from Kunchacko Boban and Divya Prabha, the movie also stars Danish Husain, Loveleen Mishra, and Faizal Malik in pivotal roles. "No no, it is not shelved. Shot by Sanu John Varughese ISC.

In one of the best-written scenes in the movie, a disgruntled and humiliated Hareesh comes home to his wife, after failing to identify the sender of the hoax s*x video, that has ruined their relationship. We also get a flabby B plot ( involving an in-house scam that has been brought to light in the factory) that is rather smartly strung into, subsided with the central plot. We also get the central plot mystery ( who made the video?) that is used as a device of innate suspense ( like in most Farhadi outings) that leads to mind-numbing turmoil and gradual loss of a sense of trust between the characters and their surroundings. As a staple in his films by now, we get the emotionally volatile breakdown of the transactional nature of truth and individualistic dignity, and Mahesh pays his dues to his filmmaking hero Asgar Farhadi in the film's characteristic mood and narrative concerns. It's about a Malayali couple Hareesh ( Kunchako Boban) and Rashmi ( Divya Prabha), working in a small time glove manufacturing plant in Noida, in their transit period, waiting for their much cherished foreign visa to be processed for their dream jobs. The third directorial feature of Mahesh Narayanan Ariyippu, his second stint with Kunchako Boban in the lead, has been grabbing some major awards, acclaim and screenings at prestigious film festivals like Locarno and International Film Festival of Kerala.

Ahead of its Netflix premiere, the director, along with actors Kunchacko Boban and Divyaprabha, discuss its inspirations.

Mahesh quickly adds that this is the first film where he got the liberty to shoot in chronological order. “She is completely different from me, in terms of the way she talks or walks. The actor credits it as a result of Mahesh’s conviction and some great teamwork. Thankfully, it all came together well with the efforts of some wonderful artists and technicians.” Naturally, he knows me inside out, as a person and as a performer. What if such a couple with the intention to move abroad are caught in this video scandal and gets stuck in an alien environment? “I’ve known Mahesh for a long time, and he has been an integral part in shaping up my career in the second innings. She wanted the judge to issue a declaration stating that she wasn’t the same woman. “A certain incident should affect me, and then I’ll let it marinate and travel with me for some time. "They move to places like Delhi, where most of the embassies are, live on the city’s outskirts, work there for 6-8 months, attend recruitment programmes and then get the paperwork done. The judge was sarcastic saying that it can’t be used as a legal document anywhere. Despite the successful run at the festival circuit, Mahesh feels that the ‘real test’ is on December 16, when the film comes out for public viewing on Netflix.

Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Faisal Malik, Danish Husain, Kannan Arunachalam, Sidharth Bhardwaj, Lovleen Mishra and Divya Prabha. Director: Mahesh Narayanan.

Thanks to an approach that rests more on the inconspicuous than on the obtrusive, the backdrop - the badlands of Delhi NCR - is not just a convenient backdrop. The mess caused by the emergence of the video is infinitely more irksome. The obvious one is that Covid-19 is still raging and parts of the world are still under partial lockdowns. Tension and intrigue abound in Ariyippu as a can of worms is opened. The face in the recorded footage - that of a woman employee of a medical gloves factory near Delhi - is hidden behind a surgical mask. Ariyippu, competing for the Suvarna Chakoram at the 27th International Film Festival of Kerala, is now streaming on Netflix.

We also have actors and the crew from the North to give the film that pan-Indian feel. This movie has a very commercial angle, but Mahesh wanted to keep it very realistic and true to the story. I always had the tendency to observe people in my surroundings. And in an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the director, along with the lead pair Kunchacko Boban and Divya Prabha, spoke about the film and their take on the vitality of the OTT platform to gage a wider audience. Music is a character in Qala which has a distinct identity of its own. A filmmaker should have the platform to work in both the mediums. I knew this film was for a platform and not for theatre, so I had that liberty to conceptualise and make it honest from my end. This is a give and take kind of a process. [Ariyippu](https://www.firstpost.com/tag/ariyippu), we knew we had to base this on another level. We started from Locarno, traveling all the way to Busan, Marrakesh, so that journey has been quite wonderful. It premiered at the 75th Locarno Film Festival earlier this year in August and opened to glowing reviews. The discussions happen after the script is ready.

The Malayalam film Ariyippu, written and directed by Mahesh Narayanan, speaks of misogyny in workplaces and at home.

I like to narrate a proper script to the actors. In Ariyippu, some of the strong statements about morality, sisterhood, and compassion are unspoken. Both Kunchacko and Divya — who found their roles “mentally and physically challenging” — were nominated for top acting award at the Locarno festival. Until then, it’s fluid,” says the director of Take Off (2017), CU Soon (2020), and Malik (2021). “This experience eased their task of performing in front of the camera,” adds Narayanan, who chooses to work closely with his team. We could feel the ambiance and the moment. Narayanan, a long-time friend of Kunchacko, thought of casting him as Hareesh since the director loves to make the actor “do things that he has not tried before”. What helped both Kunchacko and Divya was that the film was shot in chronological order. This comes as an additional setback for the couple, who after shifting from Kerala with the dream of immigrating to a foreign country found themselves stuck in their staid factory jobs when the pandemic broke out. Set in a gloves factory on the outskirts of They usually go to Delhi, where they find temporary jobs and initiate the visa process. This incident and the judge’s amused remark about someone seeking such a document stayed with Narayanan.

Even though it addresses the moral compasses that go awry in stressful times, Ariyippu also highlights the importance of identifying what’s crucial in a relationship – unyielding support and trust. As the troubled Hareesh, the actor gets to show an array of emotions as he fights his imaginary demons and transitions from a husband to just another man in the society. Kunchacko Boban as Hareesh is spot on with his performance as a man, whose frustration with his circumstances is evident in each of his actions and expressions. The duo endures the hardships of working in a factory in North India, away from their home in Kerala and overcoming language barriers, to realise their dream of leaving the country for greener pastures. It’s during one of their attempts for a visa that they decide to shoot a skill video in the factory, which somehow gets leaked from the agent, and a clip of a sexual act is attached with it and circulated. In fact, the filmmaker even uses music sparingly but it never makes the film any less engaging because of the smooth flow of events.
