Bramayugam

2024 · OnManorama · Feb 2024

Rahul's 'Bramayugam' and Jijo's 'My Dear Kuttichathan' depict the manipulation tactics of power-hungry people who ensnare gods and demigods like Chathan, Karinkali, Yakshi, etc., exploiting their vulnerabilities to instil fear and exert control over fellow beings. When Jijo Punnoose used fire to display a larger force, Rahul Sadasivan used the Portuguese soldiers as the symbol of a mightier force that would devour Potti and the like.

Undoubtedly, this is Vikrant Massey's best performance to date. Kudos to the entire cast for supporting him with some of their finest performances. This inspiring journey makes '12th Fail' a must-watch by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.
