Mangalavaaram

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.

At first let me tell something completely unbiased that Last 40Mins of this movie saved it from becoming an average movie in front of everyone. The Storyline peaked from last 40min to the very last post credit scenes ; everything was bone chilling over there. Your prospective will change suddenly during this period but again some people will discuss about some alternate ways to get that thing done with that girl's conditions as well ( You will get my point after watching this movie).

The best part of this movie is it's Powerful BGM. WooW Those Music over there in this entire movie was spine chilling and treat to our Ears for sure. The Cinematography is extremely eye catchy with it's beautiful locations and remarkable camera angles. The Director was also pretty smart in showcasing that screenplay which people loves to watch. And most importantly the way our leading character performed in this entire movie is worth getting appreciation.

Now let's discuss some Negative points regarding this movie. Although this movie peaked from Final 40Min and gave it a remarkable Ending with lots and lots of Twists and Turns still it failed to impress in the 1st half. It takes so many times to build the narrative of village and some silly things were happening in Villagers' lifestyle. The Screen writer wasted a lot of times in that part.

Again the Story itself could have been better for our leading character and with her desires.. The introduction of the Ravi in later half could have been predictable but it felt completely illogical why the writer kept him hide till that point. And of course some more Horror Points could have been added to it.

Overall a totally adult concept based movie and definitely not recommending to watch with Family. From my side it will be 6 Out of 10 Stars for it and I'll consider it as an one time watch. And of course I'll love to wait for it's next installment as it End on a note as 'To be Continued'.

This film unfolds with numerous twists right from the outset. While these twists offer excitement and entertainment for the average movie lover, many of them tend to be predictable. Despite their predictability, the twists manage to captivate the audience's attention and maintain engagement throughout the movie.

The narrative introduces a plethora of characters, contributing to the suspense and prompting spectators to harbor doubts about each one. However, as the plot progresses, the significance of several characters diminishes, creating a sense of confusion. The performances in the film, although not at their peak, are sufficiently competent given the complexity of the character ensemble.

For viewers opting for an Over-The-Top (OTT) platform, it is recommended to experience the film with a high-quality music system, as the background score serves as the lifeblood of the movie. Overall, it qualifies as a decent one-time watch, providing a good source of entertainment and a few unexpected turns, even though the abundance of characters may lead to some confusion in the plot.

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."
