Masthishka Maranam: A Frankenbiting of Simon’s Memories

4.0 / 5
Science FictionPsychological ThrillerDark ComedyRaaga would rewatch: No

Masthishka Maranam: A Frankenbiting of Simon’s Memories is not interested in being a standard Malayalam thriller with a science-fiction gadget attached. Directed by Krishand, it begins with a grieving father entering a virtual-reality memory game in the hope of reconnecting with his lost child, then lets that premise open into a more unsettling world of memory, surveillance, performance and conspiracy. The title itself signals the film’s appetite for strangeness. This is a stylised, idea-heavy watch that asks viewers to engage with its world rather than wait for it to become conventional.
