yashrajs536 Ezra is a much different horror movie. Yes it is true that it has taken some of the concepts from Hollywood movies. But in Indian Cinema it has totally driven the horror genre to new directions.It was very dark themed and the background score was totally suiting to the Ghosts scenes and also in the rest of the movie.Prithviraj Sukuraman , Priya Anand and other supporting actors has done a fine justice to there roles. What makes it different is the showing of "Jewish rituals and there history " and it has brought a totally different taste in Malayalam as well as Indian Cinema.It is a must watch and I recommend others to watch it.

Rajesh M It is indeed a very good attempt to give a horror movie in Malayalam based on Jewish horror legend. The director has succeeded in creating a eerie atmosphere to keep the audience engaged right up to the climax. The filming, photography deserves appreciation as it attempts to match with Hollywood style filming of horror movies.But it appears the Director have taken some inspiration from Hollywood movie particularly 'The Possession ( 2012)' directed by Ole Bornedal which deals with the possession of Dybukk over a girl.There are of course scenes that are of pure cinematic portrayal which eludes our logic particularly the reappearance of the antique box from the sea shown in the post credit roll rescued by two youths. How can a metal box dropped into the sea can all of a sudden reappear at some seashore of Mumbai?It evidently shows the Director's clear cut intention to produce a sequel.On the whole a good horror movie to watch out for.

kidilamfs i rate this 4 for sujith vasudev for capturing the best a horror movie can deliver in malayalam .....the rest from the scene where the box was first scene is just copied from the movie titled the possession ..... however they added extra history and masala to the story ...even the climatic scene and everything surrounding the story base is just remade into malayalam ..even the climatic CGI of the ghost entering the box .

mefith From the release of the teaser itself, the expectations were sky high for Ezra. After watching Ezra, i can say that it reached those expectations of the audience. It is a milestone in Malayalam film industry, and we can see that the level of Malayalam films are changing drastically as it is getting more exposure and viewers outside Kerala. That quality can be seen in recent films in mollywood, and Ezra is the latest one to add to it. If you see a bunch of Hollywood horror films, Ezra might not scare you out of the hell, but it engages you through out the movie and can even be considered as one of the best horror films ever produced in India. Lot of scenes were inspired from Hollywood films, but director Jay. K doesn't make us feel so, because instead of copying he has executed those scenes in his own way and some scenes including climax were great and the credit should be given to the director. I am not revealing the story line as it can be a spoiler, and don't read too much reviews and comments in social media. Watch it with a fresh mind in theaters itself, u will enjoy for sure. Other things to be noted are the special effects and bgm, they are of world class standard. Coming to the performances of the entire cast, prithviraj is the soul of the movie and his performance in the climax is outstanding, in which there was a high risk of it becoming a disaster and a comic scene even if there were any minute flaws in acting.....but he acted extremely well at that part and he proves that he is one of the few actors who is not afraid to take risks. Priya anand is also gud in her role and got a break in Malayalam through her debut film here itself. Tovino Thomas although has a limited screen space, has an impact in the film...when the face of the actor shown on screen, the kind of whistles and cheers he got from the audience shows that there is a high possibility that he is gonna make it big here in mollywood in the near future itself. Another important character is Rabbi markes which is played by Sujith shanker, and he played his part well. Only misfit i felt about the casting was Sudev Nair who played the title character Abraham Ezra who only appears in the flashback part. I felt that he underplayed Abraham Ezra to a large extent and was pathetic in his role with his weird and untimely expressions, i even wondered how this actor won Kerala state best actor award. Rest of the cast did justice to their roles like Vijayaraghavan, Babu antony etc. So, watch this movie in theatres itself with your family as i said earlier that although it is a horror thriller, it is enjoyable to all kinds of audience....U wont get disappointed for sure.
