The concept of Arjunan Sakshi is none other than the wastage of resources/ failure to fulfill announced projects by the Government and the people of Kerala. The concept came to his mind in 1990 when he was an engineering student. Director Ranjith Sankar says that he was very happy seeing a new and impending tram project from Aluva to Kochi when he was a student. But the worst thing about that project is that it never came into existence and slowly slowly people started to forget that promising project. This is not the single case, there are still more of its kind happening in Kerala. This makes Kerala different from other states and Arjunan Sakshi is Ranjith Sankar's effort to portrait the real Kerala to its people. Arjunan Sakshi Latest Reports/Reviews
