OTT Recommendation: A Decent Malayalam Watch!

The OTT space has been running high and dry with lack of adequate new options in the South Indian Cinema scene. But for now, we have an interesting film that has arrived from the famous Malayalam land of cinema.

The film in discussion here is Maranamass which is streaming on SonyLIV. It is a quirky dark comedy that puts a fresh spin on the serial killer genre. The movie follows a chaotic and suspense-filled journey, blending humor with mystery in a way that keeps viewers entertained. Set on a night bus in Kerala, the story revolves around a mischievous young man, Luke, who unknowingly ends up traveling with a serial killer.

The public review on this film is that the audience have found the film to be a fun, offbeat ride. The humor is dark and absurd at times, but that’s part of its charm. The plot moves at a good pace, and the mix of comedy and thriller elements works well to keep things engaging.

Basil Joseph is a standout as Luke, bringing a natural charm to his flawed, mischievous character. Anishma Anilkumar impresses as his girlfriend Jessy, and the supporting cast adds solid value to the story. However, some viewers felt that Babu Antony’s role could have been explored more deeply.

Overall, Maranamass is being appreciated for its different approach and timepass entertainment. If you enjoy dark humor with a thriller twist, this film might be worth a watch.
