Bhramaram

Synopsis - The movie starts off with Mohanlal coming back to meet his friend Unnikrishnan (Suresh Menon) who is working in shares.The movie later develops into a road movie with anxious moments.

Story & Screenplay - The story isn't special,but the treatment was brilliant.Thats a credit actually for Blessy the director,but he wrote a brilliant screenplay in manner that it doesn't deviate from the mood of the film.This was the mistake he made in Palunku & Calcutta News. The dialog's were normal human to human conversation (it might disappoint so called fans who expects "Savari Giri Giri"s)

Direction - Blessy showed signs of a brilliant director even in his worst movie Calcutta News.In Bhramaram,shots were absolutely stupendous.You can see a lost Bharathan touch in this movie.As I mentioned before,the treatment/presentation was brilliant.In C:N & Palunku,he tried to handle too many subjects which he avoided in this movie.Even though at a point,you might guess the so called suspense,its his direction combined with Mohanlal's out of the world performance,that made a wonderful climax out of a predictable one.But still he depends on family,sentiments in this movie,than an edge of a seat thriller.To his credit, even after the first half completes,many people cannot make a guess on the second half.He chose a road movie over a suspense thriller.

Cast & Performance - No matter how well you write a scene,No matter how will you direct that scene,If you cannot deliver a performance like Mohanlal in climax,It would have been an ordinary climax.I don't remember when was the last time Mohanlal displayed his caliber,I feel this performance is above Thanmathra's Rameshan.For me the best scene was the bathroom scene with Suresh Menon at lodge when his friend visits him.Just no words to describe about it.The bar scene was the one with most applause.Another competition for NATIONAL AWARDS.

Suresh Menon got a dream role.Just don't remember when someone got a role throughout along with Mohanlal.Even though he couldn't come anywhere near to the magnitude of Mohanlal's performance,he was pretty fine.Murali Nair as his doctor friend was fine.Lakshmi Gopalaswamy didn't have much to do.But the biggest disappointment came in the form of Bhoomika Chawla.She couldn't come anywhere near to the female protagonists of Blessy films (Padmapriya,Meera Vasudev,Lakshmi Sharma & Meera Jasmine).But the worst & most irritating performance came in the form of Mohanlal's daughter.God knows what was Blessy thinking while filming those scenes.Baby Nivedhita was as usual herself. By the way, as special mention to that cute Pomeranian puppy.It was really a cute piece of life.

Music & BGM - The songs were quite fine & pictured well.People wanted more of Annaara Kanna song which shown in bits & pieces.Except the inspired "The Dark Knight" theme during two scenes of intensity,the background score was good.

Technical Side - Brilliant Editing,Picturesque Cinematography really suits the mood of the film along with its strong direction

Finally,I can say with utmost confidence that Bhramaram is the Best movie released this year.Even though the caption suspense thriller is misleading,it keep people interesting.

Good Movie. Mohanlal and everybody acted very well in the movie. The movie had no unwanted scenes but the movie was so slow that made the movie somewhat lagged at 2nd half. Songs and BGM in the movie were not so good. The movie was so interesting in 1st half. Good Movie.

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.... !!!

After Kazhcha and Tanmathra I had great expectation from a Blessy movie.Bhramaram is yet another masterpiece from this brilliant director that will leave you with an impact. The only flaw in the movie is lack of strong side characters. Suresh Menon is a great mimic and comedy artist however didn't fit the role perfectly. The movie might not appeal to everyone due to the theme and low life of the main protagonist. Howeverif you are a serious cinema lover Bhramaram will not disappoint you. Again the reason is Lalettan, Bhramaram belongs to our greatest actor. Bhramaram presented him with a perfect opportunity to display all the emotions and to be in his elements. He depicts the innocence,madness,ruthless cruelty, anger, frustration of ShivanKutty, a poor man ; victim of his circumstances. The actor continues to mesmerize me with such performances and make me realize that I am too lucky to witness him. Watch Bhramaram for this Mahanadan :)

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
