Abraham Ozler

Abraham Ozler is a Malayalam suspense thriller movie directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas. The film, which stars Jayaram as ACP Thrissur. The movie follows Thrissur as he investigates a series of strange murders in his city. Each murder has a special clue left behind by the killer.

People really liked the actors in this movie. Jayaram does a great job showing how stressed and sad his character is, because of both the murders and something bad that happened in his own life. The other actors, like Arjun Ashokan and Anoop Menon, also play important roles in the story.

Abraham Ozler might not be a totally brand new kind of movie, but it's still exciting and well-made. It mixes together medical mystery and a sad crime story, which keeps you guessing. Overall, it's a good movie to watch!

And it seems like this movie is a big success and a comeback for Jayaram in Malayalam movies again.

I really don't know what to make of this movie. So many random events keep happening and a myriad of characters become suspects and then disappear forever. Nothing or nobody registers and randomness prevails all throughout the movie. Jayaram was just poor. He tries to play it down, but he does not have the swag nor the charisma to play such a role. Once mammooty steps in he eats Jayaram in many scenes and Jayaram them becomes a secondary character. Also, stupid tropes like a doctor telling an investigator what to check for in a murder case etc. Is just overly cinematic for a medical thriller. Overall, the film is just confusing with a terrible Jayaram at the helm.

Directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas starring Jayaram, Mammootty, Anaswara Rajan, Sentil Krishna, Arya Salim in the lead role.

Movie Analysis.

When coming to the central character, I was skeptical whether family man image star will able to carry such heavy character as his earlier police movies "Fingerprint", "Rahasya Police" was utter disappointment. But here he put the efforts, the character travels through the journey of extreme depression followed by insomnia which Jayaram could able to brought into the screen. To show the character had attained the pre mature ageing, he used to dodder which an audience could able to connect that how much this person is going through his life.

Coming to the other main character, Mammootty, his character passed through a similar kind of trauma. His voice modulation, the expression in his eyes, portrays the pain the character had gone through but when see a film, does this character is unique, this question arises as plot of vengeance had seen a lot & that is why the template adopted in Ozler is no different from Midhun's debut thriller movie "Anjaam Paathira"

When talking about the actress "Anaswara Rajan," only one word "Exceptional Artist." Her character is shown in the flash back. A 2024 girl portraying 1989 girl character so convincingly, Anaswara is establishing herself as one of the TOP Mollywood heroines.

Another notable performance was Jagdeesh. A grey shade but performed in a different way & he just nailed it.

When coming to the technical side, Midhun Manuel with his film making had able to create a mood with the known told script. The 1st half was engaging but when coming to 2nd half especially revelation of the back story we came to know its just an old wine in a new bottle. Midhun Mukundan music especially the intro of the Mammootty character mixed with the Jayaram screen presence, the elevation music was top notch & in many places the suspense tone was inserted so as to keep up the mood and it worked out well.

Overall , not wow factor but still a watchable flick.

You must be joking. After watching I felt I should leave a comment because I heard so much about it and how good a movie this is. Apparently it failed to impress me one bit. Let alone the plot, direction, casting and storyline, I am totally saddened to see of all the people Jayaram giving a deadman-walking, stale performance. I would say the same about many others too in the movie. Just wondering what happened. Many aspects, scenes and dialogues lacked minimum perfection and thrilling factors.

Just because there is Mammootty or other fav actors or because the story revolves around an investigation, the movie in totality doesn't become a thriller!!

Abraham ozler is quite different from other investigation thriller but it lacked the punch of a thriller as a whole. The movie to be frank cannot be called a thriller but just a mystery or drama. Considering the popularity it gained it is a clear disappointment. The casting is not that appreciative. The supporting characters seemed to be misplaced. Mammooka has been his best in the movie as usual. But Jayaram's acting especially at the initial stages of the movie was not that great. The casting which showed the past timeline was really good.

Coming to the story line, it was slow paced and lacked suspense. It was so dramatic and thus cannot be considered a pure thriller. But Maybe they wanted to come up with an unconventional thriller. Cinematography was not that great either.

The movie is only worth a single watch and is very loosely written. It was struggling to keep up the pace in general.

The ending also disappointed but it probably should be a hint to the upcoming part. They could have ended the story in one go without going for a second part. Hope the second part would be interesting.
