... View MoreEzra (2017): Horrors of Indian Cinema are meant only for lame comedy but not for content or scare scenes.True horrors never try to entertain us rather it makes us feel suffocated with nail biting suspense,shocking jump scares.Ezra,a 2017 Malayalam horror film starring Prithviraj and Priya Anand,impressed with its trailer.How is the movie? Plot: Ranjan and Priya moved to Cochin and Priya bought an antique Jewish box. When she opens the box the spirit in the box came out and possess her. Then later Ranjan knowing that the box is not an ordinary box it is a Dybbuk box which contains a malicious spirit of a dead person.The film depicts how he is going to save his wife from this malicious spirit.My review: Ezra has the identical premise of 2012 American blockbuster The Possession.The entire concept of Dybbuku is lifted from the movie.Even the scare scenes are inspired from lot of Hollywood horrors like The conjuring,Sinister,Insidious and Paranormal Activity.Flashback is similar to Prithviraj's earlier blockbuster Ennu Ninte Moideen.Even though if the movie is not original still it keeps our attention till the end.Except a routine ending,movie has good moments and decent jump scares.Prithviraj is brilliant in his role.Priya Anand is adequate.BGM is spooky and elevated the mood of the film.Cinematography is the major pro of the movie.So,Ezra is an Indian version of The Possession and has lot of scenes inspired from Hollywood Horrors but still keeps us engaged till climax.My rating 6.25/10
... View MoreFrom the release of the teaser itself, the expectations were sky high for Ezra. After watching Ezra, i can say that it reached those expectations of the audience. It is a milestone in Malayalam film industry, and we can see that the level of Malayalam films are changing drastically as it is getting more exposure and viewers outside Kerala. That quality can be seen in recent films in mollywood, and Ezra is the latest one to add to it. If you see a bunch of Hollywood horror films, Ezra might not scare you out of the hell, but it engages you through out the movie and can even be considered as one of the best horror films ever produced in India. Lot of scenes were inspired from Hollywood films, but director Jay. K doesn't make us feel so, because instead of copying he has executed those scenes in his own way and some scenes including climax were great and the credit should be given to the director. I am not revealing the story line as it can be a spoiler, and don't read too much reviews and comments in social media. Watch it with a fresh mind in theaters itself, u will enjoy for sure. Other things to be noted are the special effects and bgm, they are of world class standard. Coming to the performances of the entire cast, prithviraj is the soul of the movie and his performance in the climax is outstanding, in which there was a high risk of it becoming a disaster and a comic scene even if there were any minute flaws in acting.....but he acted extremely well at that part and he proves that he is one of the few actors who is not afraid to take risks. Priya anand is also gud in her role and got a break in Malayalam through her debut film here itself. Tovino Thomas although has a limited screen space, has an impact in the film...when the face of the actor shown on screen, the kind of whistles and cheers he got from the audience shows that there is a high possibility that he is gonna make it big here in mollywood in the near future itself. Another important character is Rabbi markes which is played by Sujith shanker, and he played his part well. Only misfit i felt about the casting was Sudev Nair who played the title character Abraham Ezra who only appears in the flashback part. I felt that he underplayed Abraham Ezra to a large extent and was pathetic in his role with his weird and untimely expressions, i even wondered how this actor won Kerala state best actor award. Rest of the cast did justice to their roles like Vijayaraghavan, Babu antony etc. So, watch this movie in theatres itself with your family as i said earlier that although it is a horror thriller, it is enjoyable to all kinds of audience....U wont get disappointed for sure.
... View MoreEZRA has taken malayalam horror style to a very different and new level. The presentation is fantastic. A very well defined story with everything explained in detail. The camera and BGM are too the points to be highlighted. The script is written very well. Horror lovers should definitely not miss this one as it has both horror and strong plot. I'd rate it 9/10. The only drawback I felt about the film was appearance of ghost. Makers could have made the person possessed by ghost a little more scary in order to give audience a little more goosebumps. Anyway.. EZRA was an outstanding Malayalam Horror film and is one of the best Horror films I have watched yet. Don't miss this one guyz!
