The dark comedy Maranamass, starring Basil Joseph, is all set to stream on SonyLIV and OTTplay Premium starting May 15, 2025. After making waves in theatres during its Vishu release, this Malayalam movie is now coming home — and it’s definitely worth a watch. From its fun and thrilling story to a talented cast, Maranamass offers a perfect mix of suspense and laughter.
A Story Full of Surprises
At the heart of Maranamass is a strange and exciting plot. A serial killer is on the loose, and the main character, Luke PP, suddenly becomes a suspect. Things take a wild turn when Luke ends up in a bus late at night — along with the serial killer, his girlfriend, the driver, and the conductor.
This strange situation leads to a bunch of funny and unexpected moments. The movie is written by Siju Sunny and directed by Sivaprasad, who together create a story that mixes thrills and humor in a fresh and entertaining way. Even with a dark subject like a serial killer, the movie keeps a light tone, full of jokes and comic timing.
Basil Joseph Shines as Luke PP
Basil Joseph steals the show as Luke PP. Known for his acting and directing skills, Basil once again proves his talent in this unique role. With brightly colored hair, funky clothes, and a quirky personality, his character stands out. Basil perfectly balances between being funny and slightly weird — making Luke a memorable character.
He had impressed audiences before with roles in films like Nunakkuzhi, and in Maranamass, he takes it a step further with his energetic performance.
A Strong Supporting Cast
The movie doesn’t just rely on Basil Joseph. It features a talented supporting cast that adds more fun and depth to the story.
- Rajesh Madhavan, known for his comic roles in movies like Nna Thaan Case Kodu, brings his signature humor.
- Siju Sunny, who also co-wrote the film, plays Aruvi and delivers a strong performance.
- Anishma Anilkumar, Babu Antony, and Suresh Krishna also play key roles and help carry the movie forward with their acting.
- As a bonus, Tovino Thomas, who co-produced the film, makes a surprise cameo appearance that fans are sure to enjoy.
Catchy Music That Stands Out
Maranamass also features a great soundtrack composed by JK. One song in particular — the Flip Song — has become popular on social media for its catchy beat and fun vibe. The music adds another layer of entertainment to the movie, making it even more enjoyable to watch.
