Brahmadaitya

I honestly had zero expectations from this movie. Had no idea it even existed as there were zero visible promotions before release. The film completely took me by surprise. It was funny, yet creepy. Though most of the jump scares were cliched and the horror scenes are loud, some of the creepy moments are really good, which is rare for a Bengali film. The amalgamation of folk tales and mythology with horror is interesting and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic. The film has a quirky black humor throughout that keeps things entertaining. However, the execution of a couple of scenes towards the end of the film is rather amateurish. Yet, the film redeems itself with a satisfying and fiery climax, followed by a rather funny and intriguing last scene. Hope to see more such folk horror films based on supernatural legends of Bengal.

The story of this movie was somewhat decent. I wasn't actually expecting much from this movie. Maybe That is why I'm not that much disappointed.

There is one thing that disappointed me gravely and that is the look of the Brahmadaitya, it could've been improved by giving some more time and attention.

Yes, this is a highly flawed film. It has poor CGI, cheap ass production value and inadequate horror FX make up. Yet, it is a thoroughly entertaining watch and has it's heart in the right place. Having grown up hearing scary tales of Brombhodoityo and other supernatural legends of Bengal from my grandparents, I could relate strongly with this film. The director's intention to revamp old, forgotten legends has been clearly stated through the dialogues of a character, and this must be applauded. The story is innovative and unlike any Indian horror film I have ever seen. I hope more such films get made.

The story of this movie is not real and this is not an interesting movie

Indian horror films are mostly possession centric and feature hackneyed exorcism scenes. This one is a breath of fresh air in that respect. The plot stems from Thakurmar Jhuli and adds a new edge online shopping twist which makes the overall story really unique, yet, relatable. A must watch. Hope a Brombhodoityo 2 happens.
