Bromance 2025 Movie Review
Arun D. Jose, known for youth-centric comedies like Jo & Jo and 18+, delivers a film that’s unapologetically aimed at the Gen Z crowd. Bromance thrives on its relentless energy, colorful visuals, and a soundtrack that amplifies its quirky vibe. However, while the film offers plenty of laughs and memorable moments, it stumbles with a wafer-thin plot and inconsistent humor that doesn’t always land.
The film’s biggest strength is its ensemble cast, particularly Sangeeth Prathap as Hariharasudhan, whose deadpan delivery and witty one-liners steal the show. Critics and audiences alike have praised his scene-stealing performance, with some calling him the “Amal Davis 2.0” from Premalu. Arjun Ashokan shines in the second half, especially during chaotic sequences that echo his Romancham charm, while Kalabhavan Shajohn’s goofy yet menacing Courier Babu adds a delightful swagger to the mix. Mahima Nambiar’s use of Kasaragod slang brings unexpected humor, and her character avoids being a mere token love interest, holding her own amidst the chaos.
Technically, Bromance is a visual treat. Akhil George’s cinematography captures the youthful exuberance with a vibrant color palette and dynamic framing, while Chaman Chakko’s editing keeps the pace brisk, even when the story wobbles. Govind Vasantha’s soundtrack, including the trippy “Local Gen-Z Anthem,” elevates the film’s energy, though the background score can feel overpowering at times.
The film’s second half is where it truly finds its footing, embracing a Priyadarshan-esque comedy of errors that culminates in a wedding crash and a Kerala-vs-Karnataka showdown. These moments, packed with absurd situational humor and clever references, deliver the laugh-out-loud experience the first half promises but doesn’t always achieve.
