Bramayugam - is one of the unique movie released in Malayalam industry. Story is not new, but the way of making and performance from the lead actors really need to be praised. It's not a commercial element movie , we can call it as a classic approach drama.
Positives -
We never felt the fact that it's a Balck and white movie.plot really required the whole colour concept.
Performance from the lead cast ,for sure Mamooty sir , literally killed it . Very very limited cast. Arjun Ashokan and Siddarth Bharathan done their role well. Female lead and Manikandan achari doesn't have much space in the move .
Direction - Rahul deserve a great appaualse for taking such risky plot and he executed very well
Cinematography - it's kind of world class experience - you need to experience it in the theatre itself. Frame by frame Shehnad made us love his work
Execution of the haunting and horror element - while team made that happen.
Editing & Art - it's the top notch , very much apt for the whole plot.Makeup department aslso did a superb job.
Music & BGM - Christo done a fabulous job, you can't find not even a single unwanted noise or beat in the movie.
Negatives -
Slow phase - first half you can find lots of dull movements and it's took own time to come to the track ,more like a progressive plots. Don't expect it as a commercial movie.
Not everyones choice - family won't accept it for sure . You can't find any happy movements in this. More like a myth story telling.
Final verdict .
If you a true movie lover this movie never disappoint you. It's a class movie ,not just the same popcorn watch . Lead actors and technicians came out with their best . It's an old school movie with new experimental plot.
My rating 4/5
