Bromance

Let's break this down like an equation: (BROMANCE - Mathew Thomas) + anyone else = a watchable flick

Congratulations to Mathew Thomas-you've officially delivered one of the worst performances by any working actor in recent times. Seriously, it's baffling how you've made it through so many films with such consistently subpar acting.

That said, if you can survive the first 20-25 minutes, the movie actually becomes enjoyable. The humor clicks, the comedy is light-hearted, and it works as a no-brainer entertainer with some decent laughs. The songs didn't do much for me, and while the background score was passable, Govind Vasantha seemed like a shadow of his former self. The Gen-Z and the Vloggers are trolled completely all over the movie was a good part.

Performance-wise, this film belongs entirely to Sangeeth Prathap-he nailed every scene he was in. Arjun Ashokan was okay overall, but in the second half, his performance edged dangerously close to irritating-just a notch above Mathew Thomas. Shajon, with his Don Lee-style mimicry, was fun to watch and delivered good comedic timing. Bharath Bopanna looked the part and played Ashish convincingly. Shyam Mohan didn't have much to do, but he served his role well. Mahima looked beautiful and was okay with her role.

All in all, despite the drag caused by Mathew Thomas, Bromance still worked for me and turned out to be a fun ride.

Rating: 5.5/10.

Well, movies at the end of the day, for a lot of it's consumers are a source of fun and entertainment and stree busters. An escape from the stress and rigours of day to day life and generally not much more is expected from a 2-3 hour watch. While many of us do enjoy gripping thrillers and intense drama and emotions and the odd scare fest, the slapstick entertainer is the staple when you just want to relax. Now in spite of this near staple like demand for this genre, executing it with perfection is a skill not many possess and delivering it with consistency was a skill the Malayalam industry was known for. An ode to the times of Priyadarshan's heyday, Sathyan Anthikkad and Siddique-Lal, Vineeth Sreenvasan and co.

Arun D Jose tries to emulate these veterans of the craft and while he falters on many fronts, does still manage to deliver a palatable product. The jokes do hit more often than not. The plot moves forward aided by a decent screenplay and some quirky dialogues. The cast was a bit of let down especially when it came to the comedic timing and it is Sangeeth Pratap and Shajohn who stand out but then do so more owing to being one eyed men in the land of the blind.

Overall the movie does offer some fun moments and the overall experience is worth the time invested though not by much and hence my run of the mill rating. Still, do watch if you have some time and no mood to invest much brain cells for a two and half hours.

A Fast paced colorful comedy Movie ! Nice making by Arun D Jose !

I did not get bored for even for a moment , that's more than enough not to mind some negatives and i think this one is nice choice for a time pass for anyone !

All characters are fun to watch ;mathew thomas done fine as hyperactive bro and small yet effective role for Shyam Mohan !

Arjun ashokan role is cool and Mahima Nambiar got the charming persona to entertain !!

& show stealing performance goes to Sangeeth prathap his one-liners and some expressions are priceless !

Comic scenes blended with Govind Vasantha's music is enhance the mood for a perfect entertaining watch !

A jolly good time is waiting near your cinemas !!!

I see writer-director ADJ's intention to package a clean, colorful Gen Z entertainer, but this is honestly just passable fare. The humor barely (..and I mean, BARELY) hit the mark for me (eliciting a couple of chuckles isn't what I expect from a film marketed as a comedy), with only Sangeeth Prathap and Shajohn managing to work some magic. The rest of the cast is supremely annoying-Mathew and his anger issues reminded me of Ram Charan from Game Changer, just louder; Arjun Ashokan needs to change things around a bit, while Mahima Nambiar and Shyam Mohan hardly have anything substantial to do. Being loud and over-the-top only works when you have the acting range to back it up and that's unfortunately not the case with the majority of the ensemble here. It's not Saturday Night-level abysmal, but I sat through 2h 30m without connecting to the characters or their cooked-up situations. Bharat Bopanna, as Arjun Reddy lite, is alright. Govind Vasantha's music, which I usually like, also turns out to be meh. The Akhil George-Chaman Chakko combo, after Identity, is again working overtime to cover up for a weak script.

It's a nice feel good comedy movie. All youngsters portrayed their characters well Funny thriller can watch with Family and friends. The movie is a thriller wherein brother starts his search for his missing brother .With the help of other friends the story shows how they find the brother ..the journey is fun. Loved the expressions. At few places felt there was unnecessary hyper action added. Would give this movie above average rating. Nowadays all big superstar make average movies and Fan club's make it a hit by adding all fake ratings. Movies like this needs to be promoted. Malayalam movie has evolved because of simple movies like this and the because of unique story telling Would recommend watching this movie have fun.
