Maayon Bags The Best Mythological Thriller Feature Film Award At The Toronto International Film Festival 2022

Maayon
featuring
Sibi
Sathyaraj
released
worldwide
on
June
24,
2022.
The
story
of
the
film
is
about
the
powerful
ancient
temple
of
Pallikonda
Krishna
at
the
Maayon
hills.
There
is
a
treasure
in
the
secret
room
of
the
temple.
Sibi
Sathyaraj,
Hareesh
Peradi
and
KS
Ravikumar
work
in
the
Archaeological
Survey
of
India.
Sibi
Sathyaraj
in
association
with
Hareesh
Peradi
tries
to
loot
the
treasure
without
the
knowledge
of
the
government.
There
is
a
superstitious
belief
about
the
temple
that
nobody
should
go
inside
it
after
sunset
and
if
someone
tries
to
go
inside
they
will
become
mad.
Whether
they
managed
to
get
the
treasure
or
not
is
the
crux
of
the
story.

Director
Arun
Mozhi
Manickam
who
is
also
the
producer
of
the
film,
didn’t
stop
with
the
theatrical
release.
He
took

Maayon
to
film
festivals
across
the
globe
and
it
proved
its
mettle
at
the
prestigious
Toronto
International
Film
Festival
2022,
by
bagging
The
Best
Mythological
Thriller
Feature
Film
Award.
Announcing
the
same,
the
official
Twitter
handle
of
Double
Meaning
Productions
tweeted,
“We
are
delighted
and
grateful
to
announce
that

Maayon
has
been
awarded
as
the
Best
Mythological
Thriller
Feature
film
at
The
Toronto
International
Film
Festival
2022.”

The
film
also
speaks
a
lot
about
the
temple’s
architecture
and
the
art
direction
department
has
done
a
fantastic
job
in
designing
the
sculptures
of
the
temple.
It
automatically
gives
a
grand
visual
to
the
audience.
Legendary
music
director
Isaignani
Ilaiyaraaja
composed
the
music
for

Maayon
with
a
much
needed
devotional
touch.
‘Maayonae
Manivanna’ song
was
an
instant
hit
in
the
album
and
it
gives
goosebumps
every
time
you
listen
to
the
wonderful
music
arrangement.
Ilaiyaraaja
also
wrote
the
lyrics
for
the
entire
album
and
his
contribution
to
this
film
is
tremendous.
Though
the
computer
graphics
was
not
up
to
the
mark,
cinematography
covered
it
really
well
with
brilliant
shot
selection.
Hats
off
to
Double
Meaning
Productions
and
the
entire
team
who
worked
hard
for
this
wonderful
film.
