Bhramaram

Bhramaram is not just a movie....its a magic show by Mohanlal...who just delivers a magical performance you cant imagine or u just wont expect....Bhramaram is not at all a great movie...It starts off with good expectations and eventually falls out off track...But it has a good story...The casting is not very good..Especially the villains(are new comers) are not at all up to the notch...It should have been performed by some experienced actors..The camera is the second thing in this movie that can be highlighted after Mohanlal...The locations(marayoor etc)are really beautiful....The songs are also good...Overall this movie may not entertain you much..However Mohanlal once again proves why he is the greatest actor in India....You should see this if you don't want to miss Mohanlal's magical performance...

Blessy's previous movies featured ordinary human beings caught in natural situations in a refreshing way. But Bhramaram story was centred on a rather extraordinary crime and the hero's response to it was even more extraordinary. The beginning of the movie did have a Hitchcockian flavour, but the second half was slow paced - more Adoor than Hitchcock. A striking quality of Blessy's first movies were the speed and flow of the narrative - the economy of dialogue and the agility with which one scene gave way to the next - with Thanmatra and Kazhcha, the flow was swift - there was never a bump or breakdown - giving no chance for boredom to raise its head in the viewer at any time. I felt this was not the case with Bhramaram. The mature romance between the portly Mohanlal and the nubile Bhoomika and the surrealistic (belly) dance number in a supposedly rustic village lacked the authenticity of similar scenes of Kazhcha and Thanmatra. There was hardly any suspense in the second half. In both Kazhcha and Thanmatra, the movie ended leaving the viewer with positive and warm reflections on human nature and convincingly showed that love could get the better of adversity - but in Bhramaram, the ending was not nearly as heartwarming- though the director may have tried to bring in a positive feeling by projecting the goodness of forgiveness.

I love when movies evoke a wide range of emotions. I love when movies have the power to ground me in reality, to make me feel deeply and personally connected to the story. When I find myself sitting in silence afterwards, contemplating the film's impact and wanting to share that experience with others, I know I've witnessed something truly special. This particular movie is a prime example of what makes Malayalam cinema so remarkable.

This film masterfully portrayed Sivankutty's deception through subtle cues, like his averted gaze whenever he spoke of his family. This was evident from the very beginning, even when he gave the false name "Jose." At other times, when the weight of his loss wasn't present, he acted normally. It's impossible to blame him for his emotional breakdown and subsequent violence. His anger was directed at everything normal and happy, but he never intended to harm anyone. It was the overwhelming pain of loss that drove his actions.

Except for A. P. C. Lalitha, the other characters were below average. Alexander and Unnikuttan were poorly dubbed, and their roles were not central to the story. Unnikuttan's fear and guilt were not convincingly portrayed, and it was only his dialogue that indicated his emotions.

A. P. C. Lalitha, who played Sivankutty's mother, conveyed a lot through her silence. Her character's strength might have been built by her experiences in the movie industry.

While the film's production quality may have been lacking, and it wasn't perfect in every way, it still managed to capture my heart. The few movies that have ever brought tears to my eyes hold a special place in my life, as they require a deep emotional connection to the characters. This film successfully achieved that, and I will cherish it as one of those special movies. I would definitely recommend it to others, but I would also warn them about its various shortcomings.

The movie Bhramaram really thrills you to the max , till the end...

It was indeed worth spending the money to go to the theatre , to watch the great actor Mohanlal in full form .. his expressions were tremendous... great camera work by Ajayan Vincent merits special attention.. don't miss this movie , its one among the best movies of malayalam.. Kudos to blessy as well for brilliantly managing to extract excellent performances from all the lead actors and combining the other factors of movie making to make it an enjoyable experience.

So , all you malayalees who want to watch a movie from the theatre............Rush to the theatre ... this is an Onam Gift from blessy.... !!!

I just simply love this movie, every time this movie is on television I watch it. the acting done lead actor Mohanlal is just unbelievable. His acting really connects with the audience. Climax was the best part of the movie even might make you emotional. The child actress as Mohanlal's daughter was disappointing. Kalpana as Mohanlal's mother too acted brilliantly. Movie does manage to maintain the intensity right through.I have always been a fan of director Blessy's movies. Even though the suspense can be predicted just before the climax, its still OK and might be done by the director intentionally. The use of house fly's wing flapping sound here and there right the movie is also a brilliant thought. Also the song annarakanna vaa was good to hear placed properly in the movie
