I genuinely regret wasting my time on Barroz. For a movie that touts itself as a groundbreaking 3D experience, it offers little more than shallow storytelling, laughable visuals, and an overall sense of creative emptiness. If the goal was to bore and frustrate the audience, mission accomplished.
The plot (if you can call it that) is a convoluted mess, lacking coherence, emotional depth, or any semblance of character development. It felt like a half-hearted fairy tale stitched together with clichés and incoherent fantasy elements. Not a single character stands out-they're either forgettable or downright annoying.
The much-hyped 3D effects were underwhelming. Instead of immersing you in the world of Barroz, the visuals were clunky, poorly rendered, and felt like they belonged in the early 2000s. At no point did the film capitalize on its 3D potential; the scenes were flat, unimaginative, and lacked the visual flair that could justify the format.
The pacing was atrocious. Entire segments dragged on endlessly, leaving the audience squirming in their seats, desperate for the ordeal to end. The editing felt amateurish, with abrupt cuts and awkward transitions that only added to the film's chaotic presentation.
As for the music and sound design? Uninspired, generic, and utterly forgettable. Instead of enhancing the experience, it served as background noise to a train wreck of a narrative.
Overall, Barroz is an embarrassing attempt at 3D storytelling that fails on every level. Save yourself the agony and skip this disaster entirely. It's not worth your money, your time, or even the effort it takes to think about it afterward.

Barroz. Mohanlal 's First Directorial Movie .The Movie's 3D , VFX Was Great And Mohanlal's Performance Was Great Too But It lacks in story and script and other actors performance except lal's performance was not great. So Barroz Was A Missed Opportunity And Could Have Been Done Much Greatly. Some Even The Acting Of Lal Was Not Great Too. Sometimes it felt like a serial therefore. Mohanlal's Look As Barroz was great too. The Voodoo Doll was great too it's vfx was great too. So Barroz was great visual festival and it's cgi and vfx was great but it lacks story , script and performance except lal.
The movie 'Barroz' isn't worthy of a rating. The script is weak, and the cast's performances are largely unbearable, with the complete actor Mohanlal being an exception, although he felt like a shadow of his former self. The dialogues and dubbing were equally disappointing.
The only positives are the impressive visual effects and Mohanlal's performance.
The film could have been more engaging with an animated backstory exploring D'Gama's treasure and the bond between D'Gama and Barroz, which might have helped create a stronger emotional connection with the characters.
Overall, the movie was a complete dud.

2 star for excellent and 1 star for the animated song sequence. Nothing else works in this. Even lal looked lost in his own creation. Somasundaram had the worst role and he failed in providing any elevation to it. The lead girl's acting was pathetic. Too many unknown faces with bad acting. De gama looked silly. The puppet / doll companion character had so much promise but bad dialogues ruined it. Super stretched first half with absolutely nothing happening. Second half was faster in comparison but I was exhausted by interval time itself. My kid slept through most of the first half and was slightly entertained by the second half 3D gimmick shots. Worst malayalam movie I watched this year hands down. The folklore had so much potential. It would have worked better with full animation and some better editing and some elevated plots.
The worst movie ever.... Thought that it was going to give a minimum standard...
The underwater scene was so substandard
A high school student can give better results..
I don't even understand where was the effects
The acting of all were very pathetic... waste of time and money
A substandard serial is much better than this
The best movie for a good sleep
Mohanlal please don't direct anymore movie
Even my 11 year old was asking why is he giving keys in slow motion
I just wanted ro get up and run away in between
Music was more than pathetic I wish there was at least one thing good in the movie.
