“Watched #ARM 2D Top production values. Vfx, Visuals & Art 👌 Tovino superb. Decent 1st half. Better 2nd half. Gud concept. Script & direction is mid. Slow paced & no wow moments. BGM gud at parts. Lacks the punch, bt Family audience will like. ⅗ #ARM3D #AjayanteRandamMoshanam,” a user wrote.
Another wrote, “#ARM First half visuals, VFX, BGM, and setting adipoli. The concept is very intriguing and fresh. Maniyan is simply next level. Tovino 🔥. The transition between the 3 timelines is not done properly in my opinion. Something somewhere feels off. Missing those "Romancham" moments."
"#ARM : Impressive concept but the execution is half baked. Screenplay lacks the desired impact which should have been taken care of and climax is bit downer. Technically stunning. Tovino good. Overall average film,” a comment read.
Another person wrote, "#ARM Review Decent Visual Delight 👌 @ttovino is in his elements & was good 👍 Rest of the actors were apt ✌️ Visuals & BGM 🔥 Screenplay was decent ✌️ Production Values👍 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5."
A user also shared a review of ARM and wrote, "focuses on character development, while the second half shifts into an exciting treasure hunt mode, making it engaging. @ttovino delivers a powerful performance, supported by a perfect cast, including @IamKrithiShetty@basiljoseph25. The cinematography by Jomon T John and the background score by Dibu Nainan are superb especially in the action scenes. Director Jithin Lal’s debut is impressive, bringing Sujith's script to life with impact. Overall, ARM is a well-executed cinematic folk tale that's perfect for family viewing this Onam ✨ ."
Directed by debutante Jithiin Laal, the film is winning praise from critics and audiences alike.
