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.

Nothing special, full of holes and lacks proper pacing ( i dont mind slow thrillers, but this was not well paced and could use a good 20 - 30 mins cutting and would have benefited from elaborating a bit more of the back story - especially recent bits and how they did what they did )

Performances are ok - but other than Jayaram and Mamootty - rest of the cast seems artificial in their acting - and script was not upto standard, which made the supporting acting being more poorer - leads fared better since their characters were mostly doing action more instead of words.

All in all - this was a below average movie - which does not engage you intellectually ( since there are multiple plot points and unresolved plot elements) or give you a suspense / action of a thriller (subdued, no action sequences and slow pacing)

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.

The film ' Abraham Ozler ' directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas starring Jayaram , Jagdish , Anaswara etc.. was one of my highly anticipated films of the year and that might be the reason for me getting slightly disappointed after watching the film. It's a Medical Crime Thriller which is simple and predictable and goes with the same template we have seen in past years. The film's highlights were It's Background score produced by Midhun Mukundan and the build up for the cameo which was clap-worthy and impactful. Other than that the movie lacks the thrills and I strongly felt the character of Arjun Ashokan was very much wasted in this one. Jayaram has delivered a good performance and this is his comeback none the less. It's not Boring but it's not Thrilling either. It's an Above Average Thriller Drama.
