**Kochi, [Date]:** Malayalam superstar Mohanlal’s much-anticipated directorial debut, “Barroz,” has finally hit theaters. The 3D film, aimed at families and children, marks a significant milestone in Mohanlal’s 46-year career in the film industry. The film is notable for being a rare children’s 3D movie in Malayalam after a long gap.
Mohanlal expressed confidence in his directorial venture, stating that his extensive experience in acting and understanding of various technical aspects of filmmaking have culminated in this project.
Set in Goa, “Barroz” spans two timelines – one in the present and another 400 years in the past. The story revolves around Barroz, a loyal servant of the Portuguese governor, Gama. The film explores Barroz’s 400-year confinement in Gama’s cellar and the mystery surrounding his objective. The suspense builds around whether he will achieve his goal and how.
The film boasts a stellar international technical crew and features actors perfectly cast for their roles. Mohanlal himself plays the titular character, Barroz. Veteran actors like Antony Perumbavoor and Guru Somasundaram also appear. The cinematography by Santosh Sivan and art direction by Santosh Raman are particularly noteworthy, especially the scenes within Gama’s palace cellar. The inclusion of a voodoo doll alongside Barroz is expected to be a particular hit with children. The film is touted as a family-friendly viewing experience.
