Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM), or Ajayan’s Second Theft, is a 2024 Malayalam-language fantasy adventure epic.
The film is a grand spectacle, unfolding across three different time periods: 1900, 1950, and 1990. It centers on a mystical, powerful treasure and three generations of men from the same family who are bound by its legacy. Tovino Thomas plays all three lead roles — a famed warrior, a notorious thief, and a hard-working young man — who must each confront their past and protect the treasure. Blending rich regional folklore, martial arts, and award-winning visual effects, ARM is a large-scale cinematic experience
On ARM, director Jithin Laal also served as VFX supervisor, guiding a large-scale collaboration between Mindstein, Envision VFX, Visual Birds, Rays3D, and artists across India to realize the film’s key scenes.
Mindstein Studios is one of the VFX teams that helped in bringing the fantasy world of ARM from the creator's minds to screen. This includes the Narimalam waterfalls which is a core element in the storyline, and appears in multiple scenes across different timelines. Here is the VFX breakdown of some of the scenes from ARM executed by the team from Mindstein Studios.
