Saranam Ayyappa

About This Movie

So, 'Saranam Ayyappa' from 1980 is quite the interesting piece. The plot centers on Adaikalam, a prisoner who's been locked away for a long stretch. What's intriguing is how he helps two other inmates escape, and they blend in with the throngs of devotees heading to Sabarimala. The pacing has this unique rhythm, almost meditative at times, reflecting the pilgrimage's spiritual essence. The drama unfolds with a palpable tension that keeps you engaged. Performances are solid, especially from the leads – they bring a certain authenticity to their characters. The themes of redemption and faith are woven into the narrative pretty well, adding depth without feeling heavy-handed.
