“Brahmayugam” – A Black‑and‑White Horror Epic Wins Critical Praise

Directed by Rahul Sadashivan, “Brahmayugam” is a period horror drama set in 17th‑century Kerala. The film follows a young folk singer named Thevan, who seeks refuge in an abandoned mansion and becomes trapped in a mysterious realm. Shot entirely in black and white, the movie weaves Kerala’s folklore, mythic tales, and themes of power, caste and exploitation into a chilling atmosphere that earned Mammootty the Best Actor award.
