Watched EZRA I don't know how my feeling express it's an awsmm HORROR thriller. Really enjoyed at the end to last. No unwanted scene may included in this movie was the +ve part. Horror scenes are amazing. Director JAY hatss off u debut direction AMAZING man. Prithvi,tovino,priya are do his/her level best. One of the best horror thriller in SOUTH INDIA hatzz of the team EZRA... 4.5/5

Its a extra ordinary horror movie i have ever seen before in Malayalam. prithviraj acts very well. Sujith vasudev do very well as in his career. And a very very hats off to the director Jay k.

The first thing i want to say about this movie is itz not an out and out horror movie The main elements needed for an enjoyable movie of this genre is a novelistic solid story, emotional backup of characters and a horrifying atmosphere to create the mood. All that elements came in right quantity this time. I enjoyed it very much. I can surely say that this is the best movie of its genre since Manichithrathazhu. 4.5/5 Nailed it.

Malayalam industry on a roll here proving it's the best in India. Strong photographic elements supported by strong acting performances. Ambitious storyline executed well with intricate elements and fabulous background score.

Predictable and not scary one. ( always waiting for that mirror scene). Hollywood cleache in mollywood. Too much detailing for a horror movie. like his security processes at the firm and when rabbai interrogates spirit both prithvi Raj and priyas face not in the screen. and we can guess what's next... camera awesome. bgm an average one. and one thing think about a horror movie with U certificate.

The movie is good...even for family's. ...the story has many twists...in between...overall the movie is good...I havnt give 5.0 rating because...there was only some sudden scenes where we are being scared...

come with very expectation and fear and the movie makes it true. no other malayalam film like such a style.fear was also there but not much expected. full of suspense also.on every moment story gives a surprise.enjoy the movie without boring. the movie also had a Hollywood touch.

as always prithviraj is proving that a movie can b beyond your expectations. it's one of the best movie . hatsoff to the director and the whole crew

one of the best horror movies in mollywood with exciting suspences... must watch...prithviraj priya and tovino has done their partss well...

EZRA will bring malayalam horror movies to a next level...awesome movie...must watch in dolby atoms only...superb twist..good performance by all

Ezra ~ Viewpoint
Prithviraj's most anticipated horror flick ezra offers you a good watch.
Synopsis - Two newly wed couples experiencing strange things in their new home. This one line is a lit bit cliched but here the story develops under a jewish background.
Cast and Performances - Prithviraj as usual looks handsome and did his job neatly.
Priya Anand the female lead of this movie did justice to her role. She was looking hotty in the first half. The emerging youngster Tovino is in ezra as a dashing cop. He got applause from the audience when he was shown in the screen. Vijaya Raghavan , Babu Antony and thethe rest of others were fine

Music and Bgm
This is an important part in a horror movie. Sushin Syam and Rahul Raj were the music directors. The film has three songs but Lailakame and Thambiran are my picks. The bgm was fine.

Technical side & Direction
Direction is backbone of Ezra the newcomer Jay K did his best as a debutant. Sujith Vaasudev yet again proved his calibre. The shots were brilliant. Cuts were done by Vivek Harshan was ok but I think it lacked sharpness. As I said before the story is little bit cliched but Jewish background is not familiar for malayali audience. It was a new experience for me.
As a horror movie Ezra is not that much scary. It has a 4-5 jump scare scenes. On a lighter note Ezra is an above average horror movie with lesser horror content. The making was just fine. Ezra offers you a good watch. So why are you waiting ? Go grab the tickets and experience the adrenaline rush.
Bottomline - TGF teaser which shown in the theatre gave me Goosebumps :)
