Marana Mass

What a fun rollercoaster of a movie plot😄😄😄 I just loved the styling and the overall tone of the movie.

It has some very very good comical lines and parts which stand out for being very intelligent and witty.

Rajesh is like never seen before. I just cannot imagine him in a role like this. He is so consistently good here. Suresh Krishna just kills it with a wonderful role. He carries his scenes with elan. Anishma and Siju do very well. Siju has some wonderful scenes.

And as always Basil just takes his role to another level. He is always the mr consistent.

Overall a must watch. And a movie you can re-watch too. Unfortunately missed this one in the theatres.

Its not a complex film guys relax, the film was intended as a fun entertainer with lots dark humour and it works most of the time. A lot of reviews see this as some serious movie, chill out it is not. If you register it as a switch your brain off fun film then you'll have a fun time, if not as one review here said nothing will land for you. First half is filled with lots of fun moments, and by fun moments I mean lots of social media references, second half have less fun moments but it still ends nicely. Basil Joseph was fun to watch but I think more the screen presence is for the side characters.

Overall a fun watch.

Maranamass is a film that leaves you confused-not because it's deep or thought-provoking, but because it struggles to decide what it wants to be. It's neither grounded in realism nor does it dive fully into fantasy. Instead, it floats awkwardly in a middle space where nothing really sticks.

The first half is a chaos of trending social media references thrown in one after the other-memes, reels, etc. While this might have been intended to connect with a younger audience, it doesn't quite land.

Basil Joseph, who once gave us the much-loved Ponnman, feels like a completely different person here. Sadly, it's a massive downgrade. Paired with the lead actress-who also delivers a wooden performance-the duo fails to carry any scene, be it emotional or comedic.

The film tries to do a lot: mixing comedy with emotional drama, introducing several new faces, and throwing in plot after plot. Unfortunately, nothing lands. The comedy feels forced, and the emotional scenes are just... boring. At times, the two are blended together, and instead of striking a balance, it becomes a mess where neither emotion nor humor works.

Repetitive scenes, irrelevant subplots, and a frustrating climax only add to the disappointment. Maranamass is buried under weak performances, poor storytelling, and a painfully unengaging screenplay.

If you're a fan of experimental movies, you can give it a try. Otherwise, stay home and wait for it to hit OTT.

I liked the movie you want to know why? Because I expected the film to be like this way as it is a dark comedy genre.

Initially in the film character's are introduced and the actual story start at a bus .An incident occurs in the bus then how these characters deal all of these with a mix of dark humor. The characters are cartoonish and eccentric but the execution transforms the story into a darkly delightful journey.

If you look into the acting everybody's acting were good. I will not say it was the best but it was good.

Technical side was also good . I love especially how the background aligns with the dialogues of the characters that's what makes it's humor more funnier.

It was a good experience for me.

Rating - 3.25/5

A series of funny and chaotic events weaved in dark humour template coupled with complementing BGM's.

The plot of the story revolves around a young sigma male trying to blossom the relationship with his love interest unexpectedly falls into a chaotic situation wherein his lady love is involved and how they made out of it forms the storyline.

Sivaprasad & Siju Sunny has fairly managed to come up with a unique and distinctive narrative style without giving any hint of what is going to happen. The first half of the movie may keep the audience puzzled until the story makes an elevation towards the intermission meanwhile giving delectable and laughter moments through some dialogues. The filmmaker has put the audience in a story loop wherein you have to watch the movie till the end to conceive the complete story .

Impressive performances by Basil Joseph,Suresh Krishna,Puliyanam Poulose & Kudassanadu Kanakam. Startling performance by Rajesh Madhavan throughout the story and he has effortlessly carried the character through his style of conversation and mannerisms. Anishma,Jomon Jyothir,Baburaj & Pooja Mohanraj also made convincing performances.

The impressive background scoring by Jay Unnithan that stands coherent with the mood of the story is worth praising.

A decent movie for the ones who follows this genre but may not be everyone's cup of tea.
