Basil Joseph’s highly anticipated Malayalam dark comedy Maranamass hit the theatres on April 10 and has created a significant buzz among the audience. The film is giving tough competition to Mammootty's action thriller Bazooka and Naslen K Gafoor's comedy sports drama Alappuzha Gymkhana.
However, Maranamass has notably left the other big-budget films behind, with moviegoers pouring positive reviews on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Viewers praised the film Maranamass, calling it excellent and stating that it was a dark satire entertainer. Some of them also described the movie as dark, entertaining, funny, and sometimes cringe-worthy, and commended the brilliant performances of all the actors, particularly legendary Rajesh Madhavan.
The tweet reads, “Here's a real unpaid review - #maranamass is an excellent film. Dark satire entertainers are what we missed, and that's what exactly this movie is. Dark, entertaining, funny, and sometimes cringe. Every actor is brilliant and Rajesh Madhavan is legendary.”

Another person said, “#Maranamass Movie is good comedy Suspense movie with a story that you never watch before #BasilJoseph acting performance superb #malayalam.”
A third X user penned, “Maranamas is an entertaining film that delivers plenty of laughs and light-hearted moments. While I found myself genuinely enjoying the humor and quirky characters, a few scenes felt a bit stretched and tiring. Overall, it’s a fun watch.”
