Ayyappanum Koshiyum: Prithviraj does a powerbomb on Biju Menon!

Within a month of its release, ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ has emerged as a true winner at the box office. It has been a long while since Malayalam cinema was witnessed a mass entertainer that doesn’t question the sensibilities of the audience. The Sachy directorial differs as it has managed to satisfy all sections of the audience.

‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ is the story of the two titular characters – Ayyappan Nair, a soon-to-retire policeman and Koshy Kurian, a retired havildar. It primarily revolves around the conflict between them. Though the plot might sound very thin, it is not. It is an intricately woven tale of revenge with a lot of important socio-political issues addressed.

Biju Menon plays Ayappan Nair and Prithviraj essays the part of Koshy Kurian. The terrific performances of these two actors is the film’s backbone. After a point, what seems like a petty ego clash brings out the animalistic traits in them. It all culminates a bloody action sequence. A making video of the climax scene has gone viral online. Reminiscent of the fighters from WWE, Prithviraj is seen performing a powerbomb on Biju Menon. It is commendable that the actors decided to take it upon themselves to perform such violent stunts without the help of body doubles.
