Bromance

Although I would question the decision to keep some of the scenes in Bromance, I can't deny I had a blast watching the film unfold. It's a perfect hunting film where a motley crew pull up their socks to look for a person who's a brother, a friend, an ex-lover, and many other things. Bromance gets the Gen Z lingo right and I sat back in pleasure as I could understand at least a few of them. The tiny shoots of humour and pop culture garnished across the film (mostly as filler dialogues) were a real treat to watch. A solid 7 stars out of 10 for Bromance even though some of the performances didn't gel well.

Well, movies at the end of the day, for a lot of it's consumers are a source of fun and entertainment and stree busters. An escape from the stress and rigours of day to day life and generally not much more is expected from a 2-3 hour watch. While many of us do enjoy gripping thrillers and intense drama and emotions and the odd scare fest, the slapstick entertainer is the staple when you just want to relax. Now in spite of this near staple like demand for this genre, executing it with perfection is a skill not many possess and delivering it with consistency was a skill the Malayalam industry was known for. An ode to the times of Priyadarshan's heyday, Sathyan Anthikkad and Siddique-Lal, Vineeth Sreenvasan and co.

Arun D Jose tries to emulate these veterans of the craft and while he falters on many fronts, does still manage to deliver a palatable product. The jokes do hit more often than not. The plot moves forward aided by a decent screenplay and some quirky dialogues. The cast was a bit of let down especially when it came to the comedic timing and it is Sangeeth Pratap and Shajohn who stand out but then do so more owing to being one eyed men in the land of the blind.

Overall the movie does offer some fun moments and the overall experience is worth the time invested though not by much and hence my run of the mill rating. Still, do watch if you have some time and no mood to invest much brain cells for a two and half hours.

The story revolves around two brothers, with a mix of action and comedy. While the fight scene was decent and watchable, the comedy felt forced-almost as if the filmmakers were desperately trying to make the audience laugh, but it simply didn't work. While I noticed some kids in the theater enjoying it, for me, the humor just didn't work. One of the biggest drawbacks was the overacting by several actors, especially Mathew, whose performance felt exaggerated and unnatural. Instead of immersing viewers in the story, the over-the-top acting made some scenes feel awkward. Overall, it's a watchable film, but not worth a theater visit-better suited for an OTT release.

Bromance tries to deliver an entertaining mix of drama, comedy, and action, but despite a promising start, it loses steam midway, leaving the audience disengaged.

The film initially hooks viewers with an interesting setup, but as the story unfolds, the pacing slows down significantly, making it a dull experience. Mathews' performance, instead of adding depth, often feels exaggerated, bordering on overacting, which makes certain scenes unintentionally cringeworthy. The supporting cast does a passable job, but no one truly stands out. The saving grace, to some extent, is actor Shajon, who brings some energy with his character. A few comedic moments land well, but overall, the film struggles to maintain engagement.

On the technical front, the editing is decent but lacks finesse, while the music is forgettable, adding nothing extraordinary to the experience. In the end, 2025 Bromance is a one-time watch at best, more suited for a casual home viewing rather than a trip to the theatre.
