Finally, Mohanlal’s fantasy drama movie ‘Barroz’ is all set to start streaming on OTT from January 22 onwards.
Those who are interested in watching this fantasy drama film can tune into Disney Plus Hotstar from January 22 onwards where the film will be available in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada languages.
The OTT streaming partners shared the digital streaming update via a Tweet that read, “Step into the magical world of Barroz: The Guardian of Treasures, streaming from January 22nd on Disney+ Hotstar. @mohanlal @antonypbvr @aashirvadcine @santoshsivan @aaroxstudios #DisneyPlusHotstar #DisneyPlusHotstarMalayalam #Barroz #Mohanlal #TheCompleteActor #Fantasy.”
‘Barroz’ came with a lot of expectations, since it was Mohanlal’s directorial debut and also the story was based on the ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ fame Jijo Punnoose’s story. The movie unfortunately failed to impress the audiences.
Recently Shibu Baby John said in a media interaction that Mohanlal was deeply hurt by ‘Barroz’ failure. Mohanlal had also responded to the criticisms in an interview by saying, “The responsibility of taking a film forward lies with the audience. I see ‘Barroz’ as something significant that is being given back to society after four decades. Everyone who has watched the film has enjoyed it. However, some people haven’t even seen the movie yet coming forward to criticize it. I am someone who accepts criticism. But when you criticize something, you should understand it well. This is simply a different experiment from me and my exceptionally talented team”
ETimes rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review reads, “The film is visually appealing, and the artwork by Santosh Raman is top-notch, with the settings inside the cellar under the mansion seeming very real and grounded in the 1600s. The flashback scenes have their ups and downs, but they more or less seem more enticing than the modern-day timeline. The music again was just fine, and the score by Mark Killian matched the rhythm of the film. The costumes worked in places but seemed off in certain parts, especially in the song sequence where Barroz recalls days with young Isabella.”
