The world of cinema showcases the ‘larger-than-life’ scenario. The magic of visual representations is nothing but creativity and sheer brilliance. Curious minds can be able to mount a different ambit of fantasy and large-scale entertainment to their piece of work. To achieve this, a strong decision to break the limits a director should have a kid’s envisage. The much-anticipated movie named ‘Barroz’ is expected to be one of its kind.
‘Barroz- The One Who Guards the Treasure’ is the first directorial venture of Actor Mohanlal who himself is hoped to appear as its titular character. The movie will be produced by Antony Perumbavoor for Aashirvad Cinemas. Based on the novel ‘Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure’ by Jijo Punnose, the cinematography is handled by Santosh Sivan and editing will be done by B. Ajithkumar. Also, the movie will be joined by T.K Rajeev Kumar as its script advisor and Kalavoor Ravikumar as its additional dialogue writer. Also, Jijo Punnoose is known as the first filmmaker to direct the first 3D film in India.
As per the premise, Barroz, a treasure guardian has been protecting Vasco da Gama’s hidden treasure for 400 years and has been entrusted to hand over the wealth only to a true descendant of da Gama. The crux of the movie shows it to be a children’s film with a heavy canvas along with a decent storytelling style.
Awestruck production design by Santhosh Raman and exemplary cinematography by Santosh Sivan is a highly expected factor and would have a lot to do with the movie. The music by the prodigy Lydian Nadaswaram is another big hope for enshrining the effort. Renowned Hollywood composer Mark Kilian is another expectation in producing a blend of intriguing as well as soothing background scores. On an important note, the high-octane expectation of the Actor becoming Director Mohanlal is a prevalent factor for its theatrical release.
However, the wider the canvas, the bigger its challenges will be. Apart from every possible aspect, this can be a comparison with the upcoming movie ‘A.R.M’ where both are to be projected as 3D Films and its focus on pan-world reachability.
Also, a betterment in total gross may be found less chance due to its success ratio as the actor’s large-mass-loving audience may not be satisfied with the film, albeit attaining some returns from its satellite rights. Adding on that, the cast involved in the movie is not popular among Malayalam film viewers.
The movie was set to release on the 3rd of October but as per credible reports, it has been delayed due to post-production purposes. Stay tuned in Binged for further updates of ‘Barroz’.
