Also Menaka, who actually made a good hit pair with him in real life, speaking at the funeral was poignant.Cake values integrity and transparency.

is a good touch, though predictable, if you’ve seen the original. However, the one character perfectly cast, was that of yesteryear heart-throb Shankar as Udayakumar. Now, it’s the brilliance of the story that actually sees the film through. And at this scale that just doesn’t cut it. It's not terrible, it’s earnest but doesn’t touch you beyond that. But none of them could infuse anything extra into their characters in any way. The original music was brilliant - whether the background score with jumpy bits of jazz or the piano pieces chosen to be performed to all the songs. The song at the end was quite a let down. Again probably because it tried to be true to the original and hence came through as a pale imitation. Even if you haven’t seen the original, Bhramam clearly has a more languid style, which is not bad in itself, but for this story it ends up lacking the hard punch in the guts that's required. In Andhadhun, the pace of the film was racy and the revelations seemed to twist you like you were on a roller coaster. A point that eats into the believability. Even Simi’s lover - Unni Mukundan, (Ray describing him as 'Muscle ulla Mandan' was a good one!) needlessly became a comical character. Or Simi, when Ray actually loses his sight. The scenes at the police station for instance. They unfold like a college play, predictable and stagey. But here, you cringe watching some scenes. Malayalam films have attained a godly status when it comes to acting. In staying true to the remake it loses subtlety. The subtleties, like Ayushmann Khurrana’s meanness in his interactions with the kid in his building, Tabu’s unsmiling friendliness in the coffee scene, the nonchalant cat… Bhramam lacks any nuance. Just to let off some of that pent up frustration.Īndhadhun was memorable for the little things. Since Bhramam is such a blatant copy of the original, there is bound to be comparisons, so let’s just do one. And that’s where you really cannot help but notice the differences between the original and the remake.
