Bramayugam (transl. The Age of Madness) is a 2024 Indian Malayalam-language period folk horror film written and directed by Rahul Sadasivan and jointly produced by YNOT Studios and Night Shift Studios. The film stars Mammootty, Arjun Ashokan and Sidharth Bharathan. It contains elements of sacred mystery, myth and folklore of Kerala. The plot, set in 17th-century Malabar, follows a wandering folk singer who takes refuge in a remote, decaying manor ruled by a powerful sorcerer, only to discover he is trapped in a deadly web of supernatural vengeance, dark secrets, and an ancient demonic force that threatens to consume his soul and body. Bramayugam was released on 15 February 2024 in black-and-white format. It received positive reviews from critics with praise for the cast performances, cinematography, music and production design. The film was a box office success and became one of the highest grossing Malayalam films of 2024. Mammootty won his 7th Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for his performance as Kodumon Potti in the film. In 2026, Bramayugam was selected for a special screening at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on February 12, as part of the “Where the Forest Meets the Sea” series. It was the first film starring Mammootty to be shown at the Academy Museum, drawing international attention to the film's global exhibition. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
