Story Analysis
The story of Bramman fails to keep the audience engaged. It is mainly because the plots are predictable. In the second half, the story is too dragging and tests the patience of the audience. Santhanam's comic acts give relief to audience.
Sasikumar's Performance
Sasikumar will be seen in colourful avatars in Bramman. But the actor, who is known for giving brilliant performance, is okay in the film. Lavanya Tripathi appears good.
Others' Performances
Santhanam's comedy may not work at parts, but it brings relief. Soori and other actors have done justice to their roles.
Technical Departments
Technical departments fail big time in Bramman. Jomon T John is poor behind camera as there are blurred scenes at parts. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is not worth mentioning.
Verdict
Bramman has not lived up to audience expectations. Forget general cine goers, his fan following from B and C centres too may not like it. It doesn't have much to offer other than a loosely narrated story of friendship.
