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.

An Aithihyamaala style masterpiece!! Had so much of expectation for this movie and it broke that expectation and soared past sky level. It was with awe that I watched Mammooka's performance. Lord of the rings needed VFX but here just the sheer brilliance of Mammookka on his acting made it exemplary. Arjun Ashokans career best performance and Siddharth Bharathans subtly master class acting. The decision to make it into a black and white release was perfect as it added all the desired effect on its dark theme and horror. Every shots were amazing and that inception style rotating room was just kidu. This year looks to be a bright one for Malayalam Cinema.

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.

Attempting a big-budget black-and-white horror movie in Malayalam itself is laudable. But using it to unleash the devilish side of Mammootty is where this movie really shines. As expected, Mammootty hit it out of the park. In films like this and Rorschach, we can see that the devilish side is used in a way that is so powerful but also charismatic in a way only he can do. We are in awe and horror of the deeds but also can't help but love it. And the director knows this, so the framing and music also evoke the same. Here, the story itself is pretty simple and uses an exposition sequence to fill in all the blanks. So, it's the atmosphere created and the performances that really carries the movie. Thematically there are a lot of obvious aspects to it but it felt like the focus on certain things could have made more impact instead of spelling everything out. Besides Mammootty, Sidharth Bharathan surprised me with his performance. The production design and some detailing in makeup were all fabulously intricate. Editing on the whole felt not as good as all the other technical aspects, as there were many moments where it felt like it disrupted the flow rather than immersing us. The black and white cinematography worked well but I wish they played with it more. Rather than just the usual black and white, the use of some darker black and whiter white etc would've been great, but that's just my opinion. Overall, it's an incredible attempt at folklore horror rooted in Kerala mythology, even though I do think there was some room for improvement.

The fans association people were celebrating with a bandset and everything at the end, so the repetition of a dialogue at the end of the credits wasn't completely audible but that was a really nice way to end the movie.
