The film "Bhramayugam" follows a familiar horror movie trope – a person wandering into a seemingly normal bungalow in the middle of a forest, only to discover it's haunted. While this premise has been explored in countless horror films, the uniqueness of "Bhramayugam" lies in the outstanding performance of Mammootty, who, even at 70, brings enthusiasm and variety to his roles.

Despite the film's slow pace and occasional dull moments, Mammootty's portrayal of a mysterious character captivates the audience, especially with his spine-chilling smile. The movie, directed by rahul Sadashivan, takes a different approach by choosing a black-and-white theme, which adds a distinctive color to the narrative. The haunting sound design, combined with the dilapidated bungalow setting, creates an engaging visual and auditory experience. The technical values, along with Mammootty's stellar performance, contribute significantly to the film's appeal.

While the first half may feel slow and the story lacking momentum, the pre-interval episode revealing the mystery behind Mammootty's character piques the audience's interest. The second half picks up pace, with thrilling attempts by the other two characters to escape Mammootty's enigmatic presence. The last half-hour delivers interesting and exciting scenes, though some may lack logical coherence, which can be overlooked in the context of a horror movie.

Despite Mammootty's impressive action scenes, the film may leave some viewers expecting more from his character, and the ending might not provide the anticipated kick. The movie, with only three main characters, slow scenes, and a limited twist in the story, may not be for everyone. However, for those who appreciate great acting and technical brilliance, "Bhramayugam" offers a satisfying cinematic experience, albeit within the niche of horror enthusiasts.
