Mammootty’s Bramayugam wins Four Honours at the 55th Kerala State Film Awards

In a glorious moment for Malayalam cinema, Bramayugam has emerged as one of the most celebrated films of the year, capturing hearts, critics, and now, four prestigious titles at the 55th Kerala State Film Awards. The film continues to reign as a cinematic marvel that redefined genre storytelling in Kerala’s contemporary film landscape.

The mammoth recognition includes: Best Actor – Mammootty, Best Character Actor (Male) – Sidharth Bharathan, Best Music Director (Score) – Christo Xavier, and Best Makeup Artist – Ronex Xavier

The legendary Mammootty’s hauntingly magnetic performance as the mysterious recluse reaffirmed his stature as one of India’s finest performers. Bramayugam stands as a monumental example of how Malayalam cinema continues to push creative boundaries with newfangled, genre-bending ideas that reflect across audiences and generations.

Producers Ramachandra Chakravarthy (Night Shift Studios) and S. Sashikanth (YNOT Studios) extended heartfelt gratitude to the Kerala State Government, the jury, critics, media, and audiences for recognizing their film’s creative vision. “These honours reaffirm our belief in the power of experimentation and storytelling,” they said. “Such recognition inspires us to continue producing films that challenge conventions and expand the cinematic imagination of Kerala. Our sincere thanks to our director, cast, crew, and every viewer who embraced Bramayugam.”

Released last year to universal acclaim, Bramayugam, written and directed by Rahul Sadasivan, brought together a stellar ensemble cast including Mammootty, Arjun Ashokan, Sidharth Bharathan, Amalda Liz, and others. The film’s spellbinding narrative, atmospheric score, and bold visual language made it an instant classic and one of the most-discussed Malayalam films in recent times.

Bramayugam not only reaffirmed Mammootty’s mastery of reinvention but also marked a turning point for Kerala cinema, spotlighting how bold imagination and artistic courage continue to shape its future.
