Marana Mass

Movie is show cased by interestingly taken first half with some interesting characters and events which is follows a comedy track. Characters are brilliantly intertwined each other and movie follows a sarcastic approach throughout its events. Some scores are good and it makes the movie more interesting. However, movie became a bit down after second half. Comedy elements are bit low in the second half comparing to first half because it shifts into an emotional track. Screenplay also contain its own faults and it is evident that they lost the control of maintaining the consistency of the screenplay. Screenplay of the movie became a bit wandered after first half, during second half. I didn't got a satisfying climax to the movie. However, the movie became back on track by the arrival of Babu Ramachandran from 'Vallathoru Katha'. I didn't expected it and it was so surprising for me. His portions are well made. Movie in totality follows a sarcastic comedy track with a dark comedy mode. Movie trolls many things and many persons and it was well taken and satisfying for me even though I am their fan boy. Like I said earlier, the characters are more interesting and performance wise they did a great job, especially that of Basil Joseph's and our convincing star Suresh Krishna's. Suresh Krishna was great in this movie and he deserves mention as equivalent of Basil Joseph. Rajesh Madavan also worth mentioning along with them. What a great performance he made. Bro got a good future. Anishma, Siju Sunny and Babu Anthony also did a great job. I felt Babu Anthony's character as unfitting at some situation. At some portions I felt that he is tired by acting. But in some situations, he did a great job. Overall a good dark comedy movie which follows a sarcastic mode throughout the movie, which followed by first half. Even though screenplay became a bit messy and down in the second half, it is brilliantly masked by perfect characters, performance and successfully maintained emotional track. Score also deserves mentioning, especially that of the antagonist during climax portion. Overall a worth watch.

Its not a complex film guys relax, the film was intended as a fun entertainer with lots dark humour and it works most of the time. A lot of reviews see this as some serious movie, chill out it is not. If you register it as a switch your brain off fun film then you'll have a fun time, if not as one review here said nothing will land for you. First half is filled with lots of fun moments, and by fun moments I mean lots of social media references, second half have less fun moments but it still ends nicely. Basil Joseph was fun to watch but I think more the screen presence is for the side characters.

Overall a fun watch.

I liked the movie you want to know why? Because I expected the film to be like this way as it is a dark comedy genre.

Initially in the film character's are introduced and the actual story start at a bus .An incident occurs in the bus then how these characters deal all of these with a mix of dark humor. The characters are cartoonish and eccentric but the execution transforms the story into a darkly delightful journey.

If you look into the acting everybody's acting were good. I will not say it was the best but it was good.

Technical side was also good . I love especially how the background aligns with the dialogues of the characters that's what makes it's humor more funnier.

It was a good experience for me.

This is loud, fun and entertaining !

I had pretty low expectations when I started watching it - but the movie surprisingly was fun, flowing, entertaining, refreshingly new and quite funny!

This is a movie like Double Barrel, Neram, Super Deluxe etc. Which may not be 100% coherant, believable and have a whole plethora of characters that many may not have satisfying arcs or conclusions - but the journey is all that matter.

Performance wise Basil stood out and Babu Antony was pretty fun as well - rest were hit and miss.

This is a great movie to watch with friends.

Had the story and editing been a bit more crispy and detailed - I might have even rated it higher - but as it is - this deserve one watch atleast !

Maranamass is a film that leaves you confused-not because it's deep or thought-provoking, but because it struggles to decide what it wants to be. It's neither grounded in realism nor does it dive fully into fantasy. Instead, it floats awkwardly in a middle space where nothing really sticks.

The first half is a chaos of trending social media references thrown in one after the other-memes, reels, etc. While this might have been intended to connect with a younger audience, it doesn't quite land.

Basil Joseph, who once gave us the much-loved Ponnman, feels like a completely different person here. Sadly, it's a massive downgrade. Paired with the lead actress-who also delivers a wooden performance-the duo fails to carry any scene, be it emotional or comedic.

The film tries to do a lot: mixing comedy with emotional drama, introducing several new faces, and throwing in plot after plot. Unfortunately, nothing lands. The comedy feels forced, and the emotional scenes are just... boring. At times, the two are blended together, and instead of striking a balance, it becomes a mess where neither emotion nor humor works.

Repetitive scenes, irrelevant subplots, and a frustrating climax only add to the disappointment. Maranamass is buried under weak performances, poor storytelling, and a painfully unengaging screenplay.

If you're a fan of experimental movies, you can give it a try. Otherwise, stay home and wait for it to hit OTT.
