Abraham Ozler

The film ' Abraham Ozler ' directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas starring Jayaram , Jagdish , Anaswara etc.. was one of my highly anticipated films of the year and that might be the reason for me getting slightly disappointed after watching the film. It's a Medical Crime Thriller which is simple and predictable and goes with the same template we have seen in past years. The film's highlights were It's Background score produced by Midhun Mukundan and the build up for the cameo which was clap-worthy and impactful. Other than that the movie lacks the thrills and I strongly felt the character of Arjun Ashokan was very much wasted in this one. Jayaram has delivered a good performance and this is his comeback none the less. It's not Boring but it's not Thrilling either. It's an Above Average Thriller Drama.

Nothing special, full of holes and lacks proper pacing ( i dont mind slow thrillers, but this was not well paced and could use a good 20 - 30 mins cutting and would have benefited from elaborating a bit more of the back story - especially recent bits and how they did what they did )

Performances are ok - but other than Jayaram and Mamootty - rest of the cast seems artificial in their acting - and script was not upto standard, which made the supporting acting being more poorer - leads fared better since their characters were mostly doing action more instead of words.

All in all - this was a below average movie - which does not engage you intellectually ( since there are multiple plot points and unresolved plot elements) or give you a suspense / action of a thriller (subdued, no action sequences and slow pacing)

It's feels just ok, unwanted scenes,character mismatch. The presence of mammooty is not necessary.

Some twists are too good, but suddenly the hangover loose because on unnecessary sentiments.

Flashback pose above average feelings but the siju kurup teenage character is always singing only one song ...that create boring mood.

Direction is just ok and way to tell the story is not good. In more scenes the Police officers are like dolls and always vomit one dialogue "sir,what's next". We will feel itching..... The trigger to kill victims are very funny... Director failed to transfer the feelings to audience.

Directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas starring Jayaram, Mammootty, Anaswara Rajan, Sentil Krishna, Arya Salim in the lead role.

Movie Analysis.

When coming to the central character, I was skeptical whether family man image star will able to carry such heavy character as his earlier police movies "Fingerprint", "Rahasya Police" was utter disappointment. But here he put the efforts, the character travels through the journey of extreme depression followed by insomnia which Jayaram could able to brought into the screen. To show the character had attained the pre mature ageing, he used to dodder which an audience could able to connect that how much this person is going through his life.

Coming to the other main character, Mammootty, his character passed through a similar kind of trauma. His voice modulation, the expression in his eyes, portrays the pain the character had gone through but when see a film, does this character is unique, this question arises as plot of vengeance had seen a lot & that is why the template adopted in Ozler is no different from Midhun's debut thriller movie "Anjaam Paathira"

When talking about the actress "Anaswara Rajan," only one word "Exceptional Artist." Her character is shown in the flash back. A 2024 girl portraying 1989 girl character so convincingly, Anaswara is establishing herself as one of the TOP Mollywood heroines.

Another notable performance was Jagdeesh. A grey shade but performed in a different way & he just nailed it.

When coming to the technical side, Midhun Manuel with his film making had able to create a mood with the known told script. The 1st half was engaging but when coming to 2nd half especially revelation of the back story we came to know its just an old wine in a new bottle. Midhun Mukundan music especially the intro of the Mammootty character mixed with the Jayaram screen presence, the elevation music was top notch & in many places the suspense tone was inserted so as to keep up the mood and it worked out well.

Overall , not wow factor but still a watchable flick.

The film Abraham Ozler is a cinematic work belonging to the romantic and crime thriller drama genres, and was directed by Mithun Manuel Thomas.

The narrative recounts the experiences of Ozler, a police officer who suffers the profound loss of his wife and daughter. Police successfully identified the individual responsible for the murders. However, despite thorough investigation, no bodies or parts were found. The Killer has consistently asserted that he is incapable of recalling the location of the burial sites due to an overdose of narcotics. Ozler exhibited symptoms consistent with depression and experienced hallucinations. Following a three-year hiatus, he resumed his position within the police force. Concurrently, a series of killings occurred in the city. He assumed responsibility for the investigation. The murders are characterised by a consistent pattern. Firstly, the victim was admitted to hospital for treatment of either an accident or other health issues. Subsequently, the perpetrator committed the murder in the hospital, employing a scientific method. In each of the homicides, the perpetrator made use of formalin, blue ink, a birthday card and a cadaver of identical size. It was hypothesised by the police that the perpetrator of the crime in question might be a medical practitioner, due to the method of killing being of a scientific nature. However, it was also noted that the individual in question did not have a significant amount of experience in the medical profession. Subsequently, a witness statement prompted police authorities to pursue Krishna Kumar, the assistant of the perpetrator, and ultimately to Alexander, the perpetrator himself. Alexander was apprehended by the police while attempting to commit the next murder. During the subsequent interrogation, Alexander divulged the motivations behind his actions. All three of the victims' fathers were the offspring of Alexander's colleagues from medical college. The fourth victim was also a colleague of Alexander. The aforementioned individuals were responsible for the loss of sound in the case of Krishna Kumar and Alexander's significant head injury. Subsequently, the fourth individual perished as a consequence of the toxic effects of blue ink that had been administered to him by Alexander. The film concludes with the assertion that Ozler's wife and daughter have not been murdered.

The narrative was of a satisfactory quality, and the direction was adequate. The performances are satisfactory. The film is notable for its depiction of a plethora of riveting experiences; however, it ultimately leaves a rather muted impression upon the viewer. This is a valuable resource for individuals who wish to watch the film once.
