Technical Analysis

This is a dark fantasy horror thriller of a different kind. Also, this story mainly revolves around three characters.. in the same abandoned house. But, Rahul Sadashivan has scored good marks in capturing the feeling that we are watching again and again in any single frame, without feeling that the story revolves around the same. (Bramayugam Movie Review) How a young man saves himself from the clutches of a sorcerer who learned tantric education in a ruined building. Caste discrimination in this.. How does power turn a man into a monster? Those things were discussed internally.

The movie starts interestingly with the scene of Devan wandering around in the forest. The friend who came with him suddenly disappeared.. He is eaten by the yaksha.. Devan runs away in the forest in fear. Mammootty’s introductory scenes as Koduman are interesting. The atmosphere of his house.. Everything that Devan encounters from the moment he steps into that house is curious. (Bramayugam Movie Review) The real twist in the story will be revealed before the break. Then another form of Koduman will be introduced to the audience. The way the director has shown it is interesting. It also raises expectations for the second half.

The background of Koduman Potti.. Chudalan Potti coming in this sequence.. the story of the Chetans.. all are impressive. Ever since he learns that Koduman is a monster in human form, Devan’s every step is interesting. (Bramayugam Movie Review) The basement under the Koduman Sabha hall.. another world in it.. the huge lamp in it.. Devan and the cook together make a move to reach it.. the terrifying experiences they face during that journey will make all the audience sit on the edge of their seats. And the flag scenes are very thrilling.

Actors Performance

Mammootty’s acting is the main attraction of this movie. The way he appeared in the role of Koduman.. his appearance.. his gestures.. all his acting will leave the audience enthralled. Especially in the key scenes, his performance is captivating. Arjun Ashokan’s performance in the role of Devan also pleases everyone. In the second half, he acted like Mammootty, you and me. Siddharth’s performance as a cook is also impressive. (Bramayugam Movie Review) Although Yakshi’s character is interesting in the beginning, it does not mean that it has importance in the movie. The story written by the director.. the imaginary world created for it called Bhrama Yuga.. the characters in it.. all take the audience into that world. Gives a new feeling. And every song composed by Christo is very meaningful as a part of the story. The background music keeps the audience immersed in the story. Even though the film is completely black and white, every scene looks beautiful on the screen. The build values ​​are high.
