Marana Mass

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.

This is loud, fun and entertaining !

I had pretty low expectations when I started watching it - but the movie surprisingly was fun, flowing, entertaining, refreshingly new and quite funny!

This is a movie like Double Barrel, Neram, Super Deluxe etc. Which may not be 100% coherant, believable and have a whole plethora of characters that many may not have satisfying arcs or conclusions - but the journey is all that matter.

Performance wise Basil stood out and Babu Antony was pretty fun as well - rest were hit and miss.

This is a great movie to watch with friends.

Had the story and editing been a bit more crispy and detailed - I might have even rated it higher - but as it is - this deserve one watch atleast !

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.

Not every movie needs to be deep or poetic. Sometimes, you just want pure mass entertainment, and Marana Mass delivers exactly that - with punchlines, power stances, and enough slow-motion walks to make your popcorn nervous.

It's the kind of movie where you don't overthink. You just watch.

The characters own the screen - larger than life, stylish, dramatic, and unapologetically over the top. The background score is doing 80% of the emotional heavy lifting, and honestly, that's not a complaint. It works.

Action? Check.

Catchy dialogues? Check.

Whistle-worthy moments? Plenty.

Logic? Left the theatre in the first 10 minutes - but that's part of the fun.

Is it perfect? No. The story is predictable, and there are a few dragged-out scenes that test your patience. But if you're in the mood for something mad, loud, energetic, and unapologetically "mass", this one won't disappoint.

Marana Mass is not here to win awards. It's here to entertain. And it does that pretty well.
