Bramayugam

One of the epic movies by Mammootty. The great actor Mammootty is like a wine that gets stronger with age. Everyone else, including Arjun Ashoka, has acted well. It can be said that Bharamayugam is definitely a must-watch movie. What sets Mammootty apart from other stars is the way he chooses movies. His finesse in story selection has been evident for some time now. It can be said that the director has made this movie for us in such a way that we even forget that we are watching the movie on a black-and-white screen. Watch this movie with the confidence of not being afraid. Because when the movie is over, others will understand the fear in your eyes.

Bramayugam. Mammootty proves he is a flabbergasting ogre in performance. Review by M. Siraj

Bramayugam, directed by Rahul Sadasivan, is a brilliant folklore horror thriller that explores power corruption and human greed, and Mammootty's standout performance versatile acting, and script selection make it a must-watch cinematic experience. In the 17th century, Devan (Arjun Asokan) runs away with his friend Kora in the thick forest, at night Kora is dragged away by Yakshi (Witch/Goblin) making him fall into a trap of enchantment as he enters into a nearby dilapidated Mana (mansion) to save his life from it. In the beginning he doesn't know the mansion belongs to Koduman Potti (Mammootty) who trapped him in the supernatural house of cruelty.

Movie is slow paced in the beginning and takes time to set up the plot, later goes fairly engaging with an extraordinary creepy and scary performance of Mammootty. Every scene goes elaborated with visuals and sound effects. The art work is excellent as the Mana (Mansion) and its surroundings are untidy, nature has reclaimed parts of it, with vegetation creeping up the walls and many roof tiles broken as the look itself screams, "visitors not allowed".

Mammootty excels as the role of a Villain in howling horror, as seeing his shadow comes the shudder that comes from seeing the shadow of Dracula, the horror effect he gives with his vision and voice while sitting majestically in a chair distorts the stomach of audience. Ogre

Hats off to Director Rahul Sathasivan for framing the story in Black and White with only 3 characters throughout the film, slowly narrates how Devan escaped from that Mana (Mansion) full of occult and ambiguities to become his prison. Mammootty has brought the character to life with his trademark voice, laughter with stained teeth and sitting posture, as well as the tone of the legend and nerve-wracking intimidating gaze. In some scenes, his voice, even his shadow, makes us convulsion to compensate for his presence. Cinematography is the backbone of the film, shot entirely in black and white, (Hats of the Director's courage) with a single ruined mansion (Mana) palace as the plot. Along with the lighting for black and white, his compact frames go hand in hand, transmitting horror and the supernatural in depth. In fact, every frame and angle of Mammootty replicates the voice of that Koduman potti character. Background music plays a pivotal role in the movie by transmitting to the audience many feelings of mystery, deceit, aggression and fear, vividly through a mixture of folk and Carnatic music giving boundary shots in horror scenes. Director's concentrated collage can be felt not only in the thrill scenes, but also in the scenes that show the mental state of the characters. Director Rahul Sadasivan made an absolutely terrific folklore horror with brilliant metaphorical layers on power corruption and human greed whereas Mammootty proves he is a flabbergasting ogre in performance.

There is a famous Dialogue by Mohan Lal in the Film "Manichitrathazh" as follows:

"Oru mano roga chikilsakanum sanjarichittillatha vazhikalil koodi gnan sanjarichu ennirukkum. (I may travel in any route which other Psychiatrist were not travelled) Oru branthanai pole. (As a mad man) Ente nakulanuvendi. (For my Nakulan) Avante bharyakku vendi. (For his wife) I am going to break all conventional concept of psychiatry".

Here Mammootty breaks all the conventional concept of a Hero. Even after 400 films in his credit, his quest for new roles, passion for acting never ends. Really, he is a mad man who had the courage to travel in different routes which other actors are not dare enough to try. He is least worried about his image, concentrating only for the Character he portrays.

Yes. Mammootty is a Mad Man.

Review by M. Siraj.

Well, we all know that the another famous actor's fanboys are gonna say negative for this movie. The movie was epic, thrilling. It takes a cynical sense of humour for people to understand most of the parts in the movie line. While on the other side, Ikka's unmatched acting skills makes it more impeccable. The Character is a bit spooky. Even if it's a B&W movie, we won't feel like one. Everybody must give it a try, those who love to experience a suspense music surely give it a try. Theatre experience is a must, those who have Dolby Vision or 4K theatres nearby, should experience the movie, there. Make sure to carry some popcorns.

Bizarre. Hypnotic. "Bramayugam" isn't just a film-it's a folkloric fever dream, a black-and-white incantation that coils around your spine and whispers in the dark. I was glued to my seat from that creepy start right through the "Age of Madness" playing in the post-climax's deranged crescendo. Even now, after leaving the theater, I still feel like I'm hanging out in that eerie Bramayugam mansion, buzzing with all sorts of messed-up feelings. How awesome to see the theater was houseful and that folks are really digging this kind of bonkers movie!

Mammootty doesn't just act here; he transforms. He is Kondamon Potti, a grinning, malevolent force of nature, a masterclass in controlled chaos. With his ever-watchful caretaker (Siddharth Bharathan) and a runaway singer (Arjun Ashokan) crashed at his place, watching their messed-up personalities tangle under that fragile layer of horror? So cool. The mansion breathes, the shadows watch. The film's horror DNA is meticulously stitched, pulling from the chilling atmospheres of classic German Expressionist horror, modern anxieties found in A24's catalogue or Oscilloscope productions, and especially those Hammer films.

Coming to Mammootty, I can't stop praising him. He holds court-a grinning, grotesque puppeteer. His performance isn't acting, it's alchemy. Every smirk, every silence, every flicker of his eyes blurs the line between man and monster. The supporting cast orbits him like doomed moths, their fates etched into the very air, in a ridiculous descent where every composition feels like a cursed etching.

Among Megastar Mammookka's current filmography, it's one of his absolute best, if not the best. His terrifying laughter, the look on his face, his total commitment-this role has no equal, unless we're talking about the 'Devil' himself. He deserves to be up for every single best actor award across the globe. In the finale, Mammootty is so twisted in a battle, lit for a more sinister look, and the camera just statically holds on his face and mouth. In that moment, we, as an audience, feel a whole range of emotions: anger, surprise, a bit of horror, disgust. The final act locks onto his face, and what unfolds isn't just acting-it's possession. All these emotions are clear as day and caught, and it's not for some artsy-fartsy show-off.

Ditching color wasn't just about looks-it was necessary. The monochrome palette strips away distraction, leaving only shadows and pure dread. It's a bold move for Malayalam cinema, and it totally nails the atmosphere, especially with Christo Xavier's killer score and Jayadevan Chakkadath's awesome sound design.

In closing, the pacing is deliberate, the dread is meticulous. But if you just let yourself get swept into its rhythm, the payoff is visceral, grotesque, and unforgettable. A folk-horror opus that doesn't just haunt you-it moves in. I'm excited to see what Rahul Sadasivan conjures up next.
