Mammootty breaks records in Malayalam with 'Bramayugam'

Mammootty’s latest venture, ‘Bramayugam’, directed by Rahul Sadasivan, has achieved a remarkable milestone by entering the Rs 50 crore club within a mere 10 days of its release. Released on February 15, this black-and-white film has sparked conversations across the town due to its experimental nature.

This achievement is not only a triumph for the film but also a significant milestone for Mammootty himself. He has become the first actor in the Malayalam film industry to consistently achieve Rs 50 crore box office collections over the past three years. His previous films, ‘Kannur Squad’ in 2023 and ‘Bheeshma Parvam’ in 2022, also crossed the coveted Rs 50 crore mark. Additionally, ‘Bramayugam’ holds the distinction of being the first black and white film in Indian cinema history to join the Rs 50 crore club.

The film’s storyline revolves around a character named Thevan, portrayed by Arjun Ashokan. Thevan seeks shelter in a traditional Brahmin household, where he encounters Kodumon Potti (played by Mammootty) and the household cook, portrayed by Sidharth Bharathan. As the plot unfolds, unexpected twists and turns captivate audiences, earning praise from both critics and viewers for its engaging narrative and stellar performances.

In this chilling folklorish fantasy, Mammootty once again proves his versatility by taking on roles that push boundaries and surprise audiences. The eerie atmosphere, combined with captivating storytelling, makes “Bramayugam” a standout addition to the horror genre in Indian cinema
