Ariyippu (Malayalam: അറിയിപ്പ്; also titled Declaration) is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language drama film written and directed by Mahesh Narayanan.

It features Kunchacko Boban, Divya Prabha, Danish Husain, Loveleen Mishra, and Faizal Malik in pivotal roles.

[4] Set in the pandemic-stricken times in Noida, a struggling Malayali couple nurture the dream of migrating out of the country for a better life.

Hareesh watches CCTV footage to collect the proof and he finds Reshmi entering B block where the sex act was committed.

Hareesh takes them to a remote place pretending to show them the used glove godown.

Hareesh later understands that the woman in the video is another worker in the company who committed suicide.

She rated the film 4.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Ariyippu depicts women’s oppression including physical abuse without ever seeking to titillate (…) Slice-of-life cinema has seldom been more true to life than this."

[11] Sajin Shrijith of The New Indian Express rated 4 out of 5 and appreciated the film stating, "In Ariyippu, we find Mahesh Narayanan at his most liberated, operating in a terrain he hasn’t explored before."

Shrijith further wrote, "Ariyippu is his purest film, devoid of adulteration from commercial cinema trappings".
