Barroz: Guardian of Treasures

The movie 'Barroz' isn't worthy of a rating. The script is weak, and the cast's performances are largely unbearable, with the complete actor Mohanlal being an exception, although he felt like a shadow of his former self. The dialogues and dubbing were equally disappointing.

The only positives are the impressive visual effects and Mohanlal's performance.

The film could have been more engaging with an animated backstory exploring D'Gama's treasure and the bond between D'Gama and Barroz, which might have helped create a stronger emotional connection with the characters.

Overall, the movie was a complete dud.

Baroz impresses technically, especially with its stunning 3D effects and world-class visuals crafted by the talented Santhosh Sivan. The background score (BGM) is exceptional, elevating the cinematic experience, though the songs are just passable. Mohanlal's acting stands out as a major positive, showcasing his unparalleled screen presence.

However, the movie falters in several areas. The casting feels underwhelming, with many actors failing to match the standard set by Mohanlal. The story is clichéd and predictable, and the script misses the opportunity to develop its promising premise. Dialogues lack impact, and the overall delivery feels weak, failing to engage the audience. The narrative progression is sluggish, and the movie struggles to maintain interest due to its lack of momentum and depth.

Despite its technical brilliance and Mohanlal's performance, Baroz ultimately ends up as a visually stunning yet narratively disappointing film. It's a classic example of style over substance, leaving the audience wanting more in terms of storytelling and execution.

The worst movie ever.... Thought that it was going to give a minimum standard... The underwater scene was so substandard A high school student can give better results.. I don't even understand where was the effects The acting of all were very pathetic... waste of time and money A substandard serial is much better than this The best movie for a good sleep Mohanlal please don't direct anymore movie Even my 11 year old was asking why is he giving keys in slow motion I just wanted ro get up and run away in between

Music was more than pathetic I wish there was at least one thing good in the movie.

A movie is the result of teamwork, so any shortcomings must be shared by all involved. The storyline had immense potential-it could have been an outstanding 3D movie with the right technical expertise and basic common sense. Unfortunately, the script was a complete disaster, and the dialogues were equally disappointing. Was this movie made for kids? It doesn't seem so, yet the children sitting near me lost interest and started playing on their phones just 10 minutes in. Dear Mr. Lal, you are a fantastic actor, but this genre doesn't seem to suit you. Is there a quality control process in place during production? It certainly doesn't feel like it. When delivering something to the audience, ensure it is the best it can be.

I watched the movie at Aashirwad Cinemas, Haripad, and the experience was pathetic. The screen looked patchy, and the projection brightness was incredibly dull, ruining the 3D experience entirely. Polarized 3D technology requires double the brightness compared to regular screens, unlike active shutter systems. This lack of technical quality spoiled the movie even further.

Everyday I wake up and I thank the Lord for my choice of watching the film at home instead of the theatres. I would have regretted wasting my time and money. Now I only regret wasting my time. The VFX was done on Microsoft PowerPoint and their team has a combined brain cells count of 3. On second thoughts, I'd like to try the drugs that the entire team who conceived this idea was on. Mohanlal could do better. Its a shameful movie for the actor to be cast into. The horrible VFX, the mediocre acting by the cast members and the earrape of a song "Isabella" rounds up the entire experience. The only good thing I could've mentioned about the movie is the ads that would've played before the movie if I had watched it in the theatres.

0/10 wouldn't even recommend it to my enemy.

Did I mention the horrible VFX ?
