Mangalavaaram

I went in to this movie not knowing much about it and i was pleasantly surprised by the story with which we can easily connect, the presentation and times it is based on, and also the set and cinematography.. acting is spot on for the most part and the twists towards the end are unpredictable and very well placed the pace of the movie could have been a little better and they could have cut it short by about 20 minutes.

Rest everything is great about this brilliantly made movie.

Very rarely you come across a trailer that makes you go "Bruh, what the heck did I just watch? I need to see what the movie's about!" This film had one of those, so props to the editing team for coming up with such a trailer.

The film FINALLY dropped on streaming, had to check it out. Mangalavaram/ Chevvaikizhamai is a psychological thriller set in a village where people are mysteriously dying on Tuesdays and nobody knows 'who/what/why'. While this film has some regular tropes that you may have seen in previous films, it centers around something very bold, which I didn't expect the film to do; don't think you'd have seen it before either. Also, not for kids.

Extra marks for a bold topic, but special mention to the sound design and the music team. They've elevated this film to a different level. Parts of the film also look really well shot. Payal Rajput, don't know the first thing about her, did a brilliant job. Parts of the film that didn't work for me - Twists, while good, felt slightly abrupt. I didn't like the 'comedy' in the film, felt crass and unnecessary. Take that away and nothing changes in the film. While the topic was bold, the take around it felt...like I'd seen similar films before.

This would have been a BRILLIANT film 10-15 years ago, but those times wouldn't have been okay with the primary reason behind the plot. All that said, surely worth a watch, you can give it that much, you're either going to praise for the boldness or look at everything else and say this is just the same old stuff in a new box. There's only one way for you to find out.

Director Ajay Bhupathi skillfully blended an untold concept with thrilling elements and his work of maintaining the suspense and revealing twists at the end made the entire film very engaging & interesting...

In every sense Payal Rajput seems to be a perfect choice for the role & she owned it..Her bold & gutsy performance truly created a deep connection with the character & she nailed it... Rest of the characters too did some genuine refreshing performance making us feel that we have landed in to a deep route villages of Andhra restoring it's faith in every sense...

Technically film looks so good, BG score & Cinematography truly enhanced the Storytelling... Film's boldness genuinely contributes to the narrative, aligning seamlessly with the story...

Mental health is not a choice or a moral failing, but a crucial aspect of our wellbeing that demands empathy, awareness, and proper care...This movie also sends a strong message about the ill effects of greed and lust...also conveys a message that when truth strikes back, lies and their followers will be crushed to ashes...

Overall a neat package of thrilling elements makes this flick praise worthy...

Best cinematography, awesome BGM, Superb Movie. A good entertainer. Fight scenes wonderful. Story full of twists and turns. Great music as well. All characters performed really well. Setting of this movie creates a magic. Must watch movie. Special mention about the BGM score in the movie. The BGM sets the theme. The thrill and an extra ting of sexuality add spice for the audience. The audience will definitely get impressed by the music of this movie. The story is a little slow in the beginning but maintains pace till the end. Even the comedy is part of the theme and story of the move. All in all a full entertainment.

Alright, fam, let me lay it down for ya on this blockbuster mess I just peeped. So, the actors were straight-up killin' it, no doubt. They had me feelin' some typa way, you know? And them locations and sets, bruh, on point! Like, I was practically living in that flick.

Now, the cinematography, fam, it was like watching art in motion. Those shots had me like, "Dang, did they hire a magician or what?" So props on that, no cap.

Now, let's talk about this script. It's like they grabbed some random words from a hat and called it a day. And the background music? It is the real killer. Direction was straight-up mediocre. It's like they lost the map to a decent film and just winged it.

Now, the lowlights, my dude. These slow sequences had me checking my watch more than the plot did. And the VFX? Man, it looked like they hired a toddler with a crayon to do that mess. Twists? More like turns into a dumpster fire.

So yeah, if you're into movies that make you question your life choices, this one's a winner. Grab your popcorn and brace yourself for a rollercoaster of "meh."
