Kalyan Ram enjoyed a big success with the fantasy-action film Bimbisara wherein he appeared in a dual role. With a penchant for a variety of concept films, Kalyan Ram came up with yet another film Amigos, and this time he played a triple role based on doppelgangers. The movie was released today. Let us walk into the review.

What Is It About?

Siddharth (Kalyan Ram) is an ordinary young man who learns about doppelgangers and searches if there are any for him. To his surprise, he finds two lookalikes of him, Manjunath (Kalyan Ram), and Michael (also Kalyan Ram). They all meet and become good friends, but one of them meets them with bad intentions. Who is that and what are his plans? How did the other two escape his master plan? The answers to these questions are all about Amigos.

Performances

Kalyan Ram appeared in three roles and he tried his best to show variations from one another. The idea of doppelgangers is having a stark resemblance but not exactly the same. So the director chose to separate them with unique qualities from the way of speaking, mannerisms, and even a ‘tiny’ change in physical appearance, which is apt. Kalyan Ram completely leads the show and he did a perfect job. The heroine Ashika Ranganath and Brahmaji support him when needed. Others are adequate in their respective roles.

Technicalities

Narrating a story with the triple role is challenging. The director has gone for a plain narration most of the time to keep it less complicated and less confusing. The visual effects are good but could have been better to make the three characters’ presence much more lively. The background music is mostly the same throughout the film and it is passable. The remix song ‘Enno Ratrulostayi’ is good. Ashika Ranganath looked ravishing in the song. Cinematography is good.

Kalyan Ram Unique Concept

Thumbs Down

Romantic track First Half Partly predictable

We have seen umpteen stories of twins or triplets being misplaced when born and later meeting up to fight against a common villain. Amigos has the triple role, but not the routine triplet concept. The director executed an exceptional idea of doppelgangers from different backgrounds meeting in one place.

The first half has the three characters introduced well, but the story slows down with the romantic track and comedy mostly. The actual plot is kept for the second half but the narrative gets sloppy meanwhile. The actual plot takes off with the interval block. The turn in the tale begins only with the interval and it was done well with a series of hints and guesses popping up.

The second half will dive into the baddie’s agenda but only after the introduction of his routine ‘gangsta’ background. The cat-and-mouse game between the trio has some decent twists, but the extreme thrill factor is missing for most of it. The director preferred to narrate it without complexity and confusion, but it left some of the scenes predictable.

The conflict between the protagonist and the evil doppelganger has engaging episodes. The climax action block is well-made. Like any other recent movie, Amigos also has got a cliffhanging twist in the end.

When the concept of doppelgangers is unique, the director could have maintained the freshness by avoiding the formula writing of characters like a normal guy having one innocent, and one ruthless lookalike. At times, the characters remind that of NTR’s Jai Lava Kusa. Also, an elite force like NIA failing to identify a doppelganger is unconvincing.

Overall, Amigos has a different concept and a fresh approach for a protagonist in a triple role. Other than few twists this fails to thrill on the whole.

Bottomline : Good Concept Lacks Thrill

Amigos Telugu Movie Review: రివ్యూ: అమిగోస్ రిలీజ్: 10-02-2023 నటీనటులు: కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్, అషికా రంగనాథ్, బ్రహ్మాజీ, జయప్రకాశ్, కళ్యాణి నటరాజన్, రవిప్రకాశ్ సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ: సౌందర్ రాజన్ సంగీతం: జిబ్రాన్ నిర్మాణం: మైత్రీ మూవీస్ నిర్మాతలు: నవీన్ ఎర్నేని, వై. రవిశంకర్ కథ, స్క్రీన్ ప్లే, దర్శకత్వం: రాజేంద్ర రెడ్డి

గత యేడాది ‘బింబిసార’ మూవీతో తన కెరీర్ బెస్ట్ హిట్ అందుకున్నాడు నందమూరి కళ్యాణ్ రామ్. ఇర మైత్రీ మూవీ మేకర్స్ సంస్థ ఈ యేడాది ఆరంభంలోనే ‘వీర సింహారెడ్డి, వాల్తేరువీరయ్య’ చిత్రాలతో డబుల్ సక్సెస్ అందుకుంది. ఇప్పుడు కళ్యాణ్ రామ్, మైత్రీ కలయికలో రూపుదిద్దుకుంది ‘అమిగోస్’. రాజేంద్ర రెడ్డి దర్శకత్వం వహించిన ఈ మూవీలో కళ్యాణ్ రామ్ ఏకంగా మూడు పాత్రలను పోషించాడు. సో… ఫిబ్రవరి 10 శుక్రవారం ఆడియన్స్ ముందుకు వచ్చిన ట్రిపుల్ రోల్ మూవీ ‘అమిగోస్’ ఎలా ఉందో చూద్దాం…

సిదార్థ్‌ (కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్) హైదరాబాద్ లో ఫ్యామిలీ మెంబర్స్ తో జాలీగా ఉంటుంటాడు. తన మావయ్య(బ్రహ్మాజీ)తో సరదాగా పబ్ లో గడుపుతున్న సమయంలో అతనికి డోపెల్ గ్యాంగర్ వెబ్ సైట్ గురించి తెలుస్తుంది. తనను పోలిన మనుషుల గురించి తెలుసుకోవాలనే ఉత్సుకతతో ఆ వెబ్ సైట్ లో సెర్చ్ చేస్తాడు. అతనికి బెంగళూరు కు చెందిన మంజునాథ్‌ (కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్), కోల్ కత్తాలో ఉండే మైఖేల్ (కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్) టచ్ లోకి వస్తారు. వీరంతా గోవాలో కలుసుకుని ఎంజాయ్ చేయాలనుకుంటారు. అంతవరకూ బాగానే ఉంది. ఆ తర్వాత సిదార్థ్‌ కు ప్రేమ విషయంలో సాయం చేసేందుకు మిగిలిన ఇద్దరూ హైదరాబాద్‌ వస్తారు. అయితే అప్పటికే మైఖేల్ కోసం నేషనల్‌ ఇన్వెస్టిగేషన్‌ ఏజెన్సీ (ఎన్‌.ఐ.ఎ.) వెతుకుతూ ఉంటుంది. అతనే అనుకుని తనలా ఉన్న మంజునాథ్‌ను పొరపాటున అదుపులోకి తీసుకుంటుంది ఎన్.ఐ.ఎ. అసలు మైఖేల్‌ ఎవరు? అతని గతం ఏమిటీ? అతని కోసం ఎన్.ఐ.ఎ. ఎందుకు వెదుకుతోంది? మైఖేల్ బదులు ఎన్.ఐ.ఎ. అధికారులకు చిక్కిన మంజునాథ్ గతేంటి? తనలా ఉండే వ్యక్తుల కోసం వెబ్ సైట్ లో ఆరా తీసి, సాలెగూడులో చిక్కుకున్న సిద్ధు అందులోంచి ఎలా బయట పడ్డాడు? అనేదే మిగతా కథ.

మనుషులను పోలిన మనుషులను సినిమాల్లోనే కాదు… నిజ జీవితంలోనూ చూస్తుంటాం. ఒకే వయసు ఉన్నవారు కూడా అందులో ఉంటారు. అంతమాత్రాన కవల పిల్లలలా వారి ఆలోచనలు, హావభావాలు, ఆహార వ్యవహారాలు ఒకేలా ఉండవు. ఇక వివిధ ప్రాంతాలలో నివసించే మనుషులను పోలిన మనుషుల ఆలోచనల్లోనూ ఎంతో వ్యత్యాసం ఉంటుంది. ఈ మూవీ ద్వారా దర్శకుడు రాజేంద్ర రెడ్డి అదే తెలిపాడు. లీడ్ క్యారెక్టర్ లో కనిపించే సిద్ధూకు ఫ్యామిలీ లైఫ్ జత చేస్తే, మంజునాథ్‌ బేలగా ఉండేలా డిజైన్ చేసి తన పాత్ర తీరుతెన్నులను దానికి తగ్గట్టుగా మలిచాడు. ఇక మైఖేల్ క్యారెక్టర్ నరరూప రాక్షసుడికి ఏ మాత్రం తగ్గనిది. నందమూరి వంశంలో నటులకు ద్విపాత్రాభినయం, త్రిపాత్రాభినయం ఏమీ కొత్తకాదు. మహానటుడు ఎన్టీయార్ ఏకంగా ఐదు పాత్రలను కూడా సమర్థవంతంగా పోషించారు. కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్ బాబాయ్ బాలకృష్ణ ‘అధినాయకుడు’లో త్రిపాత్రాభినయంతో పాటు ఎన్నో హిట్ సినిమాల్లో ద్విపాత్రాభినయం చేశయగా… సోదరుడు ఎన్టీయార్ సైతం ద్విపాత్రాభినయంతో పాటు ‘జై లవకుశ’లో త్రిపాత్రాభినయం చేసి మెప్పించాడు. అందుకేనేమో కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్ కూడా ఈ ట్రిపుల్ రోల్ కథ వినగానే గ్రీన్ సిగ్నల్ ఇచ్చేశాడు. అయితే కథలో ఊహకందని మలుపులు లేకపోవడంతో సినిమా థ్రిలింగ్ ఎక్స్ పీరియన్స్ ను ఇవ్వలేకపోయింది. ఫ్రెండ్ షిప్ మీద సాగిన గోవా సాంగ్ ఓకె. బాలకృష్ణ రీమిక్స్ సాంగ్‌ ‘ఎన్నో రాత్రులు వస్తాయి కానీ…’ పాట పిక్చరైజేషన్‌ కలర్ ఫుల్ గా సాగింది. హీరోతో మూడు పాత్రలు చేయించాలని దర్శకుడు భావించినప్పుడు మరింత బలమైన కథను సిద్ధం చేసుకుని, ఆసక్తికరమైన సన్నివేశాలను రాసుకుని ఉండాల్సింది. అయితే… డోపెల్ గ్యాంగర్‌ వెబ్ సైట్… దాని ద్వారా లుక్ ఏ లైక్ వ్యక్తులను కలుసుకోవచ్చుననే అంశం ఆసక్తికరమైనదే!

నటీనటుల విషయానికి వస్తే… నెగెటివ్‌ షేడ్ ఉన్న పాత్రలను పోషించడం హీరో కళ్యాణ్‌రామ్ కు కొత్తేమీ కాదు. గతంలో తన సొంత బ్యానర్ లోనే అలాంటి చిత్రాలను నిర్మించి, నటించాడు కూడా. మొన్న వచ్చిన ‘హే రామ్’ తో పాటు ఇటీవల తీసిన ‘బింబిసార’లోనూ దాదాపు అదే తరహా పాత్రలను పోషించాడు. ఇప్పుడు ఈ సినిమాలో మూడు భిన్నమైన మనస్తత్త్వాలు కల పాత్రలను సునాయాసంగా చేసేశాడు. హీరోయిన్ ఆషికా రంగనాథ్‌ స్క్రీన్ ప్రెజెన్స్ బాగుంది. తనకు తెలుగులో మరిన్ని అవకాశాలు వచ్చే అవకాశం ఉంది. కళ్యాణ్‌ రామ్ మామగా బ్రహ్మాజీ పంచ్ డైలాగ్స్ తో వినోదాన్ని పంచాడు. మిగిలిన పాత్రధారులందరూ తమ పాత్రలకు తగిన న్యాయం చేశారు. జిబ్రాన్‌ నేపథ్య సంగీతం సన్నివేశాలను బాగా ఎలివేట్ చేసింది. సౌందర్ రాజన్ సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ ఈ మూవీకి మెయిన్ ఎసెట్. యాక్షన్ కొరియోగ్రఫీ కూడా థ్రిల్లింగ్ గా ఉంది. అయితే కథలో తగిన దమ్ములేకపోవడం, కథనం ఆసక్తిని కలిగించకపోవడంతో సాధారణ ప్రేక్షకులను ‘అమిగోస్‌’ ఊహించిన స్థాయిలో మెప్పించలేకపోయింది. యాక్షన్ మూవీ లవర్స్ కు, నందమూరి ఫ్యాన్స్ మాత్రం సంతృప్తి చెందే అవకాశం ఉంది.

Amigos Movie Review: Thrills more as an idea than a film

Rating: ( 2 / 5).

Amigos  opens with its climactic scene. We see two bruised Kalyan Rams facing off each other on a dark night. One of them manages to get hold of the gun and shoots the other. The catch here is, we have no clue about the identities of these people. Did the evil Kalyan shoot the good Kalyan or the other way around? We have to sit through—in this case, endure—the whole film to reach there. 

Cast: Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Ashika Ranganath, Brahmaji

Director: Rajender Reddy

The film directed, directed by Rajender Reddy, has a thrilling idea at its core. Siddharth (he’s the hero of the story, let’s call him the ‘good guy’ for better understanding) is fascinated to find his doppelganger. Before we come to this point, we are fed information about doppelgangers twice—during the opening credits and a painfully verbal exposition by a nameless character played by Sapthagari. So when Siddharth comes across a website that lets one find their lookalike, he quickly manages to get in touch with two of his doppelgangers and they plan to meet in Goa. One of them is the clean-shaven, formally dressed Manjunath Hegde (let us call him the ‘meek guy’) and the other is Michael (he is the ‘bad guy’), who walks into the low-angle frame in slow-mo with a cigar. The central conflict in the film and about the film is that Siddarth and Manju fail to recognise the fact that Michael is the bad guy. While the good guy and the meek guy remain oblivious to the bad guy’s cruel intentions, the screenplay spends a good chunk of time on a cliched rom-com angle featuring Ashika Ranganath and a puzzle to get to her heart that you know has been planted to spin a comic moment out of the triple role facet.

It’s only at the halfway mark that the other two characters learn the true side of Michael, whom we have known for all the while as a bad guy on a mission that endangers Siddharth and Manjunath. This is perhaps why we barely feel any shock when this reveal drops. And while Kalyan Ram is neat as the good guy and the meek guy, his performance as Michael renders this evil character caricaturish, with a serious voice and a persistent smug expression that screams ‘evil’. What made the actor intimidating in  Bimbisara  is clearly missing here.

All the issues with Amigos can be traced to its weak and predictable screenplay. For example, the dog coming to the rescue in the climax of  HIT 2  works beautifully because this scene has been set up so subtly somewhere in the first act. In  Amigos , however, when information is being given out, we can discern that the only purpose of the scene is to set up another moment, robbing us of the surprise and joy we might have experienced when this lands. Here, a vegetable, yes, you heard that right, is used as a key plot point and we know that this vegetable will serve a purpose later in the film. 

Moreover, we barely feel the stakes and the menace of the ‘bad guy’, even when people are killed and important characters are in grave danger because we are never truly invested in them. Sidharth’s father, mother, and sister are as lively as the cardboard stand-ins of the film placed outside the theatre I watched the film in. The mother wants her son to get married, the playful sister pulls pranks on her brother and the father… I don’t even remember; such is the genericness in writing. It is not that the artificiality in writing is restricted to the lighter portions. Even serious angles in the film are treated in a generic way. We are told that NIA (National Intelligence Agency, I assumed) is after Michael and you cannot help but laugh at their inefficiency. In the climax, the bad guy is caught, handcuffed and escorted by armed ‘agents’ in a convoy. He manages to destroy the entire convoy single-handedly. While we, as the audience, are willing to suspend our disbelief, I wish they at least tried to make it believable.

One can only imagine the fun this idea about lookalikes could have spawned. From comedy to thrills, the possibilities are endless. It is not that  Amigos  doesn't try, just that it leaves you craving the inventiveness the film truly deserved. Films like  Amigos  are reminders that having an exciting idea doesn’t suffice. One needs an equally strong screenplay to propel the film as a whole narrative.

What problems do these lookalikes face after their encounter? How will they come out of it? Are the three related in any way? These form the important elements in this Kalyanram-starrer.

Good story but dull screenplay

Debutant director Rajendra Reddy needs to be praised for coming up with an interesting and challenging story.

Though we have seen many Telugu movies where the lead actor appeared in double or triple roles, Amigos is definitely different from them.

It is tough to handle three roles with variations, but the director has managed it with ease.

However, he should have worked more on the screenplay, because the movie appears to lag in many scenes and audiences easily predict the next scene or twist.

A gripping screenplay would have taken a suspense thriller like this to the next level.

Kudos to Kalyanram

As Kalyanram plays three roles, he appears on the screen for almost 90 percent of the runtime.

Amigos is an out-and-out Kalyanram movie. He deserves praise for handling the three roles with ease and showing the variations effectively.

However, among all the three roles, his performance as Bipin Roy alias Michael stands out.

As the actor himself plays both the protagonist and the antagonist, there is not much space for other actors.

Ashika Ranganath is confined to just romance, and even her role is limited.

Brahmaji, Saptagiri, and Jayaprakash appear in supporting roles and play their part well.

After scoring his biggest hit, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram is back with another concept-oriented film titled Amigos. As Kalyan Ram is playing a triple role, there is a good buzz around the film. Directed by debutant Rajendra Reddy and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film has hit the screens today. So let’s see how it is.

Siddharth (Kalyan Ram) who lives in Hyderabad, is fascinated by the concept of doppelgangers (lookalikes). He keeps searching for his lookalikes, and much to his surprise, he finds not one but two of them (Manjunath Hegde & Michael). Soon the three meet and Siddharth takes the help of the other two to make Ishika (Ashika Ranganath) fall for him. When everything is going well, Siddharth and Manjunath get to know the unknown side of Michael, which shocks them. Who is this Michael? What is his backstory? What did Siddharth and Manjunath do after knowing about Michael? The film has the answers.

Plus Points:

From start to finish it is all Kalyan Ram’s show. Kalyan Ram has got a lion’s share of the screen time as he is seen almost in every frame of the film. It isn’t easy to play a triple role but Kalyan Ram has done the job effortlessly. It is important that an actor has to show variations while playing roles of this sort, and Kalyan Ram’s act was nothing short of brilliance. Amigos is undoubtedly one of the best performances by Kalyan Ram. The actor is ruthless as Michael, innocent as Manjunath, and shows subtleness as Siddharth.

The film has a few interesting moments and the proceedings are a bit fast in the second half. A tense atmosphere is nicely created between the antagonist and the protagonist’s family. Scenes that come in this regard are well-knitted and fairly engaging.

The placement of Enno Ratrulosthayi song is good and brings in much-required relief in this seriously driven action drama. Ashika Ranganath makes a decent debut in Tollywood. She looked gorgeous and performed well in her limited role. Brahmaji ably supported Kalyan Ram and he evokes a few laughs. Jaya Prakash is decent.

Minus Points:

The concept of doppelgangers itself is very interesting but the makers didn’t come up with an engaging screenplay More drama could have been created around the film’s core point to elevate the proceedings. But that didn’t happen with Amigos.

There are interesting moments here and there but they are again short-lived. The film’s narrative is middling throughout and the entire first half is boring with slow pacing. The concept is introduced fairly but then the graph dips suddenly and picks up only in the second half. There isn’t anything exciting that happens in the first hour and the interval bang is weak.

There aren’t any twists and turns and the movie becomes predictable after a point in time. The way the NIA is showcased is pretty bad and many times they keep failing to catch hold of a dreadful criminal. This kind of film needs sharp editing and an effective background score but sadly these two aspects were not on the expected lines.

Technical Aspects:

It is surprising to see this kind of inferior work from Ghibran. More care should have been taken regarding the background score to enhance the impact. The cinematography by Soundar Rajan is good and so is the case with production values. The makers didn’t compromise on the quality.

The editing could have been far better and the entire first half needed some heavy corrections. Coming to the debutant director, Rajendra Reddy, he has done an okayish job with the film. He was successful in picking up a fascinating concept and his casting was also perfect. But the issues in writing played a spoilsport. What otherwise could have been a very good thriller ended up being just an okay flick due to the substandard screenplay.

On the whole, Amigos works to an extent and highly benefits from the excellent performance of Kalyan Ram. Ashika, Brahmaji, and others justified their roles. The film actually had more scope but it wasn’t utilized to the full extent. The film has a decent second half and a below-par first half. Hence Amigos ends up being a just okay watch this weekend.

Amigos Movie Review

Cast:  Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Ashika Ranganath, Nithin Prasanna

Director:  Rajendra Reddy

Producers:  Mythri Movie Makers

Nanadmuri Kalyan Ram is one of those rare actors who tries to experiment with each and every movie. The young actor who is riding high after the sensational blockbuster of  Bimbisara has come out with a thriller  Amigos,  a never tried experimental movie in Telugu.

Backed by the leading production house Mythri Movie Makers, the movie created a decent buzz before its release and finally hit the theatres today. Let’s see whether Kalyan Ram can score another hit with  Amigos  or not.

Also Read: Michael Movie Review

Sidhu (Kalyan Ram) is a businessman who is into real estate and falls in love with RJ Ishika (Ashika Ranganath). One day Sidhu comes to know about a website where one can meet their doppelgangers and register on the site. Interestingly, he finds two more look-alikes, Manjunath from Bangalore and Michael from Kolkata.

The three doppelgangers finally meet and have blast. Everything seems happy and funny initially but things turn worse eventually when one among them is revealed to be a dangerous person. This puts the lives of the other two in danger. What’s the actual problem and how the other two come out of it is the rest of the story.

Plus  Points:

  • Different Concept
  • Parts in Second Half
  • Kalyan Ram’s triple role

Minus Points:

  • Love Track /Comedy
  • Predictability
  • Lack of thrilling elements

Unlike most movies in which the look-alike heroes are related to each other,  Amigos  is a different concept movie that was hardly tried in Telugu. The core story revolves around three doppelgangers who are nowhere related to each other.

Director has presented the concept in an interesting way, however, the love track tests your patience and the lack of entertainment is another major disadvantage.

To sum it up, Amigos  is a different and out-of-the-box plot, however, the narrative fails to bring excitement and thrill. The movie goes flatty in many places and picks up during the second half. If you are someone who likes to watch different concept movies with low expectations, this is a decent watch.

'Amigos' review: Thrills more as an idea than a film

A still from the movie 'Amigos,

Amigos opens with its climactic scene. We see two bruised Kalyan Rams facing off each other on a dark night. One of them manages to get hold of the gun and shoots the other. The catch here is, we have no clue about the identities of these people. Did the evil Kalyan shoot the good Kalyan or the other way around? We have to sit through—in this case, endure—the whole film to reach there.

The film directed, directed by Rajendra Reddy, has a thrilling idea at its core. Siddharth (he’s the hero of the story, let’s call him the ‘good guy’ for better understanding) is fascinated to find his doppelganger. Before we come to this point, we are fed information about doppelgangers twice—during the opening credits and a painfully verbal exposition by a nameless character played by Sapthagari.

So when Siddharth comes across a website that lets one find their lookalike, he quickly manages to get in touch with two of his doppelgangers and they plan to meet in Goa. One of them is the clean-shaven, formally dressed Manjunath ‘Manju’ Hegde (let us call him the ‘meek guy’) and the other is Michael (he is the ‘bad guy’), who walks into the low-angle frame in slow-mo with a cigar.

amigos telugu movie review greatandhra

The central conflict in the film and about the film is that Siddarth and Manju fail to recognise the fact that Michael is the bad guy. While the good guy and the meek guy remain oblivious to the bad guy’s cruel intentions, the screenplay spends a good chunk of time on a cliched rom-com angle featuring Ashika Ranganath and a puzzle to get to her heart that you know has been planted to spin a comic moment out of the triple role facet.

It’s only at the halfway mark that the other two characters learn the true side of Michael, whom we have known for all the while as a bad guy on a mission that endangers Siddharth and Manjunath. This is perhaps why we barely feel any shock when this reveal drops. And while Kalyan Ram is neat as the good guy and the meek guy, his performance as Michael renders this evil character caricaturish, with a serious voice and a persistent smug expression that screams ‘evil’. What made the actor intimidating in Bimbisara is clearly missing here.

All the issues with Amigos can be traced to its weak and predictable screenplay. For example, the dog coming to the rescue in the climax of HIT 2 works beautifully because this scene has been set up so subtly somewhere in the first act. In Amigos, however, when information is being given out, we can discern that the only purpose of the scene is to set up another moment. Here, a vegetable, yes, you heard that right, is used as a key plot point and we know that this vegetable will serve a purpose later in the film.

Moreover, we barely feel the stakes and the menace of the ‘bad guy’, even when people are killed and important characters are in grave danger because we are never truly invested in them. Siddharth’s father, mother, and sister are as lively as the cardboard stand-ins of the film placed outside the theatre I watched the film in. The mother wants her son to get married, the playful sister pulls pranks on her brother and the father… I don’t even remember; such is the genericness in writing. It is not that the artificiality in writing is restricted to the lighter portions.

Even serious angles in the film are treated in a generic way. We are told that NIA (National Intelligence Agency, I assumed) is after Michael and you cannot help but laugh at their inefficiency. We are informed about the NIA’s arrival with on-screen text that reads, ‘NIA team landed in Hyderabad’ as we see a flight land. In the end, the bad guy is caught, handcuffed and escorted by armed ‘agents’ in a convoy. He manages to destroy the entire convoy single-handedly. While we, as the audience, are willing to suspend our disbelief, I wish they at least tried to make it believable.

One can only imagine the fun this idea about lookalikes could have spawned. From comedy to thrills, the possibilities are endless. Amigos do try, but it leaves you craving the inventiveness the film deserved. Amigos is yet another reminder that having an exciting idea doesn’t suffice. One needs an equally strong screenplay to propel the film as a whole narrative.

Bramayugam Review: A Different Horror Thriller

amigos telugu movie review greatandhra

Movie: Bramayugam Rating: 3/5 Banner: Night Shift Studios & YNOT Studios Cast: Mammootty, Arjun Ashokan, Sidharth Bharathan, Amalda Liz and others Music: Christo Xavier DOP: Shehnad Jalal Editor: Shafique Mohamed Ali Art Director: Jothish Shankar Producers: Ramachandra Chakravarthy, S. Sashikanth Written and Directed by: Rahul Sadasivan Release Date: Feb 23, 2024

"Bramayugam," a Malayalam film featuring Mammootty, achieved great success in Kerala and has sparked a lot of discussion and appreciation among film lovers.

Let's assess the Telugu dubbed version.

Story: The story is set in the eighteenth century in South Malabar. Devan (Arjun Ashokan), who flees from enslavement, arrives in a location next to a river. He observes an ancient palace and enters it for shelter. There, he encounters Potty (Mammootty) and his cook residing in the house. Upon discovering that Devan is a singer, Potty invites him to be his guest and offers him food.

Devan subsequently discovers that the mansion contains hidden truths and is inhabited by a demon. Devan recognizes that Potty has trapped him in this location, making it impossible for him to leave. Will Devan eventually break free, and what motivates Potty to engage in such evil activities?

Artistes’ Performances: Mammootty is absolutely terrific. He appears soft at first, but as his character develops, his expressions and laughter alone evoke horror. Mammootty's performance is the film's main strength. He maintains an air of mystery through his wickedness.

Arjun Ashokan is another standout performer in the film. More than Mammootty, we see Arjun Ashokan in the film, and he expresses fearfulness and helplessness effectively. Siddharth initially underplays his part, but his importance grows as the story progresses.

Technical Excellence: Horror thrillers necessitate robust technical execution. The film "Bramayugam" is entirely filmed in black and white and showcases exceptional technical quality.

The sound design and mixing, combined with the solid background music, are the primary strengths of this project.

The entire drama unfolds within a decrepit palace, and the production design effectively establishes the necessary sense of eeriness.

The cinematography is creative as well. The editing is precise in the first half but loses momentum in the second half.

Highlights: Mammootty’s incredible performance Unique narration Sound design and music Black and white setting

Drawback: Climax sequence Vagueness at some places Slow narration

Analysis Mammootty, a legendary Malayalam megastar, has turned 72 recently. At this age, he doesn't need to prove anything because he's seen countless blockbusters and received numerous awards for his performances. This appears to have prompted him to move beyond traditional main roles and push the envelope. He has recently taken on a variety of roles and appeared in offbeat films. He portrayed a homosexual in one of his most recent critically acclaimed flicks. Mammootty's performance in "Bramayugam" as a wicked and negative character astounds us as well.

"Bramayugam" is a period horror drama that is totally shot in black and white, creating an eerie atmosphere. Horror films typically unfold in isolated settings with limited characters. The film "Bramayugam" is a period drama set in the 1700s, taking place in an old palace with three main protagonists and two minor characters. The entire film centers on Mammootty and two other actors but the story begins with the character of Devan, played by Arjun Ashokan.

Arjun Ashokan's perspective drives the narrative, gradually unveiling several facets of Mammootty's character's evil plans. As each layer is peeled away, tension increases and curiosity intensifies.

The film also addresses topics such as kings, feudal lords, caste inequality, and the corruption of power. Additionally, there are fantasy aspects represented by a female character. These factors have contributed to provide the film with a unique experience.

Mammotty's close-up shots and laughter are spine-chilling. Director Rahul's storytelling in the first half of the film is both captivating and distinctive.

Still, there are moments when the plot leaves things unclear. It incorporates elements of class politics and philosophy, which are vague at times. Furthermore, the film transitions into a typical horror thriller towards the end, and the climax lacks intensity. In the second half, the narration turns slow further. Despite these issues, “Bramayugam” is captivating for the most part.

Overall, "Bramayugam" is an intriguing combination of mystery, horror themes, and folklore. This black-and-white film offers a unique experience with its captivating narrative, impressive sound design, and Mammootty's spellbinding performance. Although the narration is slow and the climax is regular, it still provides a different feel.

Bottom line: Chilling
