Anil's 'Kayam' has the tagline 'Mysteries of the Mind' that should probably refer to the inexplicable ways in which the mind works. What is mysterious about the film itself, are the unexplainable ways in which the story is pulled this way and that until it finally forms a noose around its own neck and chokes on it.
The film centers around Thamara (Shwetha Menon) who is abducted from some faraway shore by Choonda (Manoj K Jayan), who later marries her. Choonda's adversary Raghu (Anil Murali) hopes to get the better of him through the village Kabbaddi match, and brings in a star player Sajikuttan (Bala)as his opponent. But as fate would have it, Sajikuttan turns out to be Choonda's long-lost brother, much to Raghu's dismay.
'Kayam' cashes in on the enticing beauty that Shwetha Menon is, and there are numerous references to what a beguiling woman she is. It is the male gaze that speaks in the film, as man after man go crazy over her magnetism and some even get drowned in a whirlpool of lust.
