MOVIE REVIEW: EZRA (Bangalore Mirror)

Considering that horror is not a well explored genre in Malayalam cinema one doesn’t really expect someone to make his filmmaking debut with a horror film.

But that’s exactly what Jay K has gone on to do with Ezra, taking people pleasantly by surprise. Having released in Kerala last week, (after a delay due to the recent film industry strike) and after getting off to a flying start at the box office), the film is all set to hit the screens in across the country, including Bengaluru on Friday.

R a n j a n M a t h e w (Prithviraj) and his wife Priya Raghuram (Priya Anand) relocate from Mumbai to Kochi. At Kochi they move into a lovely old villa and Priya keeps herself busy by decorating the villa with handpicked curios.

In that process Priya comes across a strange looking box at the antique shop of Moosaka (Alencier Ley Lopez). With the entry of the box in to the villa, both Priya and Ranan realise that their peaceful existence has gone on to get disturbed. How do they go on to face the situation and overcome it is what Ezra is all about. Jay K and his co-writer Manu Gopal have come up with a novel concept. Jews have been around in India and Kochi for long, yet no one so far has explored the Jewish background and used “Dybbuk” as an element of horror, till Ezra came along.

In terms of the writing due credit goes to character development as well as detailing that has gone into the plot. A sizeable part of the tale in the second half is set in the 1940s and it’s impressive to see that the period appears quite authentic, kudos to the production design as well as the VFX work.

The film is technically sound. Sujith Vaassudev’s cinematography is an asset; the songs by Rahul Raj and Sushin Shyam go with the flow. The pace does dip a bit inbetween and the film does not have any jump scary moments as such. And the culmination to the tale is a bit of let-down. But all these do not take away from the fact that the film has a lot of positives going in its favour. Sudev Nair, Vijayaraghavan, Sujith Shankar, Babu Antony and Tovino Thomas play their parts well. Priya Anand makes a confident entry into Malayalam cinema and she compliments Prithviraj well. Prithviraj gets back to form in style with Ezra, as he plays Ranjan Mathew with a lot of maturity.

Ezra is certainly a refreshing horror film and one that should ideally encourage more such efforts in Malayalam cinema.

Ezra Movie Review: Ezra, a strong thriller with horror laced in to it for the kicks!!!(cinemaglitz)

What is it about: It’s a horror-thriller which ponders few facts on Jewish Culture in Kerala, which has an underlying plot of couple moving in Kochi and how this comes in to play forms the crux of the story directed by Jay K.


Why it’s disappointing: It stays put for this movie.

What to watch out for: After watching this film, most of them will come to know that Jewish culture is still followed by a bunch in the state of Kerala. This films does a great job in educating one or two about that faith. At the same time keeps a sane balance in sentiments surrounding it. The film was well woven by writer & director Jay K. Who did a great job in executing the plot in a subtle way. The director didn’t seem to scare the audience, just for the sake of horror, rather makes a strong point through his narration. That part made this film all the more interesting. And most definitely this was well decorated with a talented cast.

Prithviraj, is a seasoned actor who have donned may roles and have explored his acting nuances across the major film industries in India. As Ranjan Mathew, he makes a strong case and delivers a commendable performance.

Priya Anand, who makes her debut in Malayalam did a fine job. And it didn’t seem like she was new to the language, which is a great advantage for her. A neat performance by Priya Anand.

The rest of the cast from which couple of noteworthy are Sujith Shanker as Rabbi Marques, who did a great job. And there was Tovino Thomas as ACP, who had a crisp screen presence.

Apart from them there were two more who were on screen for a brief moment but becomes a vital part of the film. They were Sudev Nair as Abraham Ezra & Ann Sheetal as Rosy. They both were equally good.

The film had an exceptional technical team, which elevated the experience of this film to next level. The cinematography was astounding, which was perfectly constructed by Sujith Vaassudev. He had a nake to handle the camera and a great taste for the tone of the film. Editing was top notch by Vivek Harshan. The film required VFX and was done to requirement with not blowing it out of proportion. And finally, without a good sound design, you can’t complete a horror film, Anish John did an exceptional job with sound design.

Verdict: Jay K weaved a neat horror-thriller which doesn’t deflect from its notion and keeps moving forward with a strong plot. And that was performed by a great ensemble of cast. Definitely worth a watch.
