The Hidden Arrows) is a 1990 Indian Malayalam-language political action film, directed by T. Hariharan, written by Dennis Joseph, and produced by K. G. Rajagopal.
This film also marked Aishwarya’s Malayalam debut (the daughter of notable South cinema female star, Lakshmi).
The tribals are terrorized by sandalwood smuggler Devayyan who is hand in glove with Thomas and uses his political power to freely destroy the forest to their needs.
To retaliate against Devayyan, Baby gathers the tribals and sets off to confront him, but are stopped by the police at the behest of then forest minister John Mathew.
This leads to a confrontation between father and son where John acknowledges ignoring some illicit activities of the party members for the greater good.
John Mathew's driver Nanu Mooppan witnesses the murder but is arrested and jailed on false charges by Thomas.
Baby tricks him into coming to the place where he reveals that he has already killed Devayyan the day he evaded the arrest from Thambi and escaped.
