Bramayugam starring Mammootty in the lead role. Also starring Arjun Ashokan and Siddharth Bharatan
Directed by Rahul Sadasivan.
*** A horror mystery set to convey the evil side of Rulership ***
Set in the period of the 17th Century where black magic, lust for power, control was in extreme, Bramayugam creates a world of the power vests in the hand of the evil & how the helpless society falls prey into this gamble of dominance.
As the whole movie set in Black and White, for me the impression was it was unambiguous of the dominance of the superior over the downtrodden.
Performance wise what we thought was completely different of the characterization of the megastar Mammootty. The thirst for acting has never ended and that's clearly being noticed in each frame of his. The cruelty of the character was very well absorbed by him and that's why he is the Kulapathy of the Malayalam Film Industry.
Another note worthy performance of Arjun Ashokan. The career graph of Arjun will escalate here onwards.. Siddharth Bharatan also gave a fitting performance.
The songs set back in the 17th century was pleasing. BGM added the horror mode.
Overall a purely experimental movie but with the good technical work and class performers Bramayugam sets a new benchmark for the upcoming horror jonor movies in Malayalam Film Industry.
