Mamangam

The film is on the medieval Mamankam festival celebrated during the 17th century on the banks of the Bharathappuzha in Kerala. For years, the warriors known as Chaaverukal plot against the Zamorin rulers to overthrow them.

The film has a good setup and great production values. The camerawork is superb and the amazing BGM takes the film a notch higher. The film is more of a dialogue drama than fights and dance. 

Firstly, the film has a heavy-duty Malayalam flavor which is hard to digest for the Telugu audience. Moreover, the story moves at a snail’s pace in both the halves and can get on to your nerves.

The hype surrounding a film like Mamangam needs no introduction. The movie, which has the magnificent Mammootty as the main lead, has come in as the biggest-ever motion picture in the history of Malayalam cinema.

irst thing first, as the director M Padmakumar mentioned in an interview, Mamangam is not a Baahubali and it is a film with the right mix of class and mass elements, with the former ruling the roost.

Mammootty is just splendid as Chandroth Valiya Panicker, the warrior beyond comparisons. Once again, he steals the show in a historical character, giving everything that is required for perfection.
