BAYAMARIYA BRAMMAI MOVIE REVIEW
Cast: JD, Guru Somasundaram, Harish Uthaman, John Vijay, Sai Priyanka Ruth, Vinoth Sagar, and Vishwanth
Direction: Rahul Kabali
Bayamariya Brammai, directed by Rahul Kabali, is an experimental film that delves into the mind of a notorious murderer who views his crimes as a form of art. The story follows Kabilan (Vinoth Sagar), an accomplished writer who seeks to chronicle the life of Jagadish (JD), a convict who has taken 96 lives over the past 25 years.
The film’s narrative structure is unconventional, with multiple actors portraying Jagadish at different stages of his life, including Guru Somasundaram, Harish Uthaman, and Sai Priyanka Ruth. This unique approach can be confusing for audiences accustomed to a more traditional storytelling style.
Bayamariya Brammai’s strength lies in its artistic elements, such as the clever use of light and shadow, and the depth of its dialogues. The film’s cinematography, handled by Nanda and V Praveen, and the music by K, ensure that the cinematic quality remains consistently high throughout.
However, the film’s slow-burn approach and the heaviness of its script may not appeal to all viewers. The characters don’t really click with the audience, so we never really get to know why they do what they do.
Bayamariya Brammai tries to navigate the blurred lines between right and wrong, but it doesn’t really grab your attention. The movie’s message about compassion and humanism gets lost in all the focus on the murders.
So yeah, Bayamariya Brammai is a pretty weird movie that might leave you exhauted even though it’s only 90 minutes long. It’s got a cool concept and artsy stuff, but it doesn’t fully satisfy as a movie.
