A night of chaos and comedy: Dhyan Sreenivasan's 'Bhishmar' promises thrills and laughs

Another beautiful emotional journey from East Coast Vijayan! This movie deeply touches on the values that define us—love, sacrifice, and the hope for reunion after heartbreak. Loved how it balanced "new generation" romance with a look at how society views relationships today. The ending is particularly impactful; using a respected religious voice to explain the balance between following your heart and prioritizing education was a great touch. The Film is for those who value meaningful storytelling.


Bhishmar , a comedic thriller directed by East Coast Vijayan, follows Murugan, “a young man with impeccable timing and a sharp sense of humour.” Set over the course of a single night, the film traces a chance encounter between two men that spirals into a series of chaotic events, says Vijayan, who has co-written the film with Ansaj Gopi. The shoot was completed in a single 42-day schedule in and around Palakkad.





“Dhyan Sreenivasan plays Murugan, who navigates a string of hilarious situations and finds himself caught in an adventure that tests his wit and courage. The other prominent character, Sultan, is played by Vishnu Unnikrishnan. I had earlier worked with him in the fantasy film Kallanum Bhagavathiyum ,” the director adds.





Describing the film as a mix of romance and action, Vijayan says, “With a talented cast, strong production values, and OTT-friendly storytelling, Bhishmar promises a cinematic experience that will resonate with audiences in Kerala and overseas.”





The film marks the debut of model Ammayra Goswami, who stars alongside Razia and Divya Pillai. The supporting cast includes Indrans, Senthil Krishna, Santhosh Keezhattoor and Manikandan Achari. Cinematography is by Ratheesh Ram, editing by Johnkutty, and music and background score by Ranjin Raj, with lyrics by BK Harinarayanan. Sajit Krishnan serves as executive producer.



The film concludes by addressing critical social issues, asserting that education serves as a vital antidote to societal chaos. By resolving with a constructive 'happy ending,' the narrative advocates against senseless civil unrest and encourages viewers to approach complex situations with wisdom and judicial clarity.
