Thevan, a persecuted lower-caste folk singer fleeing slave traders in British-era Kerala, ends up at the gateway of a dilapidated Brahmin mansion (Illam). He soon finds out that he cannot leave easily. The synopsis of ‘Bhoothakaalam’ filmmaker Rahul Sadasivan’s latest, Bramayugam, can be summed up like this.
Arjun Ashokan, undoubtedly the lead protagonist, plays the role of Thevan, a weak, lower-caste singer tired of hunger, thrown into a labyrinthine mess. Meanwhile, Mammootty, the showstopper, is the soul of the film; he effortlessly plays the role of the mysterious Kunjamon Potti. Sidharth Bharathan, who wears a wry and exhausted look, completes the plot. Sidharth’s character is the cook and showrunner for Potti, who is easily irked, annoyed, and is often unforgiving. Horror or supernatural themes in Malayalam have their roots in traditional folk tales. They often concentrate on the dominant caste, the Brahmins. These stories, of knowledge-hungry Brahmin sorcerers crossing into the ‘dark side,...

As was the tendency in the last years, South Indian films continued to dominate the box office in 2022, with “Rrr” and “Vikram” being some of the highlights, and the former actually getting international recognition, as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu highlights. In another international success for Indian cinema, Pan Nalin’s “Last Film Show” was shortlisted for the Oscars in the Best International Feature Film category, while Pan Nalin documentary “All That Breathes” won the Grand Jury Prize in World Cinema Documentary Competition in Sundance, before it was also shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature for the 95th Academy Awards. If you add to all these the fact that local movies seem to find more space in international festivals, it seems that finally Indian movies are getting the recognition they deserve.

Film CommentaryThe title can be read as ‘the past’ and ‘the time of demons’ and the film is simultaneously about both. How does the past sow the demons that we have to confront in the present? Sowmya Rajendran*Major spoilers ahead. This is not a review but a closer look at the film and its themes. Malayalam film Bhoothakaalam premiered on SonyLiv on January 21 and has become an instant favourite with fans of the horror genre. With a minimal cast and hardly any dependence on visual effects, the film has emerged as one of the scariest horror films to come out in recent times. At the heart of Bhoothakaalam, directed by Rahul Sadasivan, who co-wrote it with Sreekumar Shreyas, is the troubled relationship between a mother and son, Asha (Revathy) and Vinu (Shane Nigam). The title can be read as ‘the past’ and ‘the time of demons’ and the film is simultaneously about both.
