Bramayugam

Storyline

Bramayugam is a descent into psychological horror set in feudal Kerala. A wandering singer becomes trapped in a decaying mansion where illusion and reality intertwine. Under the control of a mysterious host, he is drawn into a deadly contest of will and manipulation. The film explores the corrupting nature of power, the cyclical hunger for dominance, and the human mind's capacity for self-destruction. With its black-and-white aesthetic, layered symbolism, and unsettling atmosphere, Bramayugam stands as one of the boldest and most artistically ambitious Malayalam horror films of recent times.
