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...

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.... !!!

Bhramaram (meaning-'the beatle')

When was the last time one of you came out of a movie hall with a lump in the throat but with a kind of positive energy filed in your veins.Or with a heart that is half filled with a deep sorrow while other half finds itself with an uncharacteristic joy. Let me tell you I just got to experience all these while walking out of a show of director BLESSY's classic 'Bhramaram'.

While one part of my heart empathized towards our main protagonist in the movie,deeply, the other half finds itself filled with true joy which is partly due to how the movie managed to show the value of humanity and truth as well as because of the reflection by myself that a malayalam movie was able to travel all the way to that little corner of a place,that is my heart,which is quite uncommon nowadays.And the movie continues to haunt me well after i had seen it.

(*No spoilers*)

The movie actually portrays a simple story but the way Blessy handles this makes all the difference.The story follows 'Sivankutty'(played by Mohan lal) who is a high range jeep driver by profession, and focuses on a few days in his life and a few characters whom he gets to encounter in those days through which it tries to unravel his character to the full,his past and the people around him.Blessy show there is only a thin line separating all the good and bad or fear and trust. There is a certain HITCHCOCKian flavor that one could sense Blessy has adopted to unravel his story.

The camera handled by Ajay Vincent gives us breathtaking visuals and feel.Overall technically the film is excellent as well.

Now even with with all these if i have to pick one reason to say why one should watch Bhramaram it would be none other than the Legendary actor MohanLal's 'extra-brilliant' performance.(Sorry,i don't get another word to describe it).One of finest performance ever in an Indian screen. Most others in the cast,especially the guy who plays protagonist's friend, have also done well though few of them were some hiccups in terms of performance but that is very much ignorable.

Now if you are a STUDENT/LOVER of cinema please do yourself a favour by watching a good quality print of Bhramaram. There are people who try to degrade Blessy and his movies regardless of the its quality with some sort of agenda which itself shows the popularity and value of his movies. Regardless of how much you like it at the end, it will truly be an EXPERIENCE for anyone of you. For me it was one of the best malayalam movies of the decade and even one of the Best in Indian cinema in a few years.

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.

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
