For those who’ve watched the original movie ‘Andhadhun’ Bhramam would feel like a let down. The casting could’ve been better. I loved Shankar - he was the only wise choice in terms of casting. Prithviraj’s performance didn’t wow me still he deserves some points in trying. I personally would’ve loved Fahad for this role tbh. Unni Mukundan’s performance was good enough in terms of being described (by Prithviraj in the movie) as “muscle ulla Mandan.” I just wish his character wasn’t as funny as portrayed though. A big thumbs down was Mamta. I wouldn’t say her as a performer but her as a casting choice. In the original movie Tabu’s character was so iconic that I feel this role deserved much more in Malayalam. I would’ve preferred Simi to be a bit calm and composed rather than being so high in spirits throughout the movie but that’s just my opinion. Again, Anna could’ve been a relatable face but no luck there. The other characters - the doctor played by Jagadish and his two helpers shouldn’t have been this funny too. In terms of the story, second half didn’t make much sense as it should’ve. The essence of the story was missing. I tried viewing it through the eyes of someone who’s watching it for the first time still it lacked the thrill. We should’ve been wowed by certain plot twists and it just felt meh. The songs could’ve been far far better. Especially the Jazz music at the end. Overall it could’ve been better. It should’ve been. 2.5/5 may be. 🤷‍♀️

Minnal Murali didn’t hit me that well, to be quite frank. For the first superhero movie in Malayalam, I was ready to be amazed but sadly that didn’t happen. I found the movie to be a mix of Gundala, Nolan’s Batman, Shazam and above all, Toby’s Spider-Man. The plot was the same, the incidents and instances were really similar. As someone who has grown up watching Superhero movies, I could relate almost every incident in this movie to the exact incidents of the above-mentioned movies and that was a huge disappointment. The story lacked originality. There I said it. Some of the characters were poorly written. Dialogues too. They merely existed. It’s a shame. The only part I loved was the love story between the antagonist and his childhood crush (I’m sorry I can’t remember their names). That story ended quite tragically though it had all my heart. The guy who played as Kurukkanmoola’s Magneto outshined Tovino in performance. Also, I was expecting the iconic Basil’s wit and humour elements in the movie which could’ve been what, if added, made Minnal Murali standout - though the plot being a big Malayali rip-off. Overall, the Magneto meets Gundala with Spider-Man movie incidents, meets Scarecrow turned Harvey two face who burns Gotham after losing Rachel, only to be killed off by Batman, the watchful protector, silent guardian of Kurukkanmoola movie was disappointing, still a one time watch.
