Rapheal Pozholiparambil

Marana Mass (2025) throws you right into the wild, unpredictable chaos of small-town Kerala, where nothing is ever as it seems and pretty much everyone has something to hide. The film follows Rasheed, a down-on-his-luck mechanic who’s barely scraping by, just trying to keep his head above water. Suddenly, his life gets flipped upside down when he stumbles—totally by accident—onto a suitcase packed with cash. Not just a little, either. We're talking the kind of money that makes people do things they’d never admit to. Of course, once word gets out, the whole town gets sucked into this money-fueled mess. You’ve got politicians sniffing around, cops who are way too interested, and some sketchy gangsters who don’t exactly play by the rules. Rasheed’s friends? They’re either trying to help him or take him for a ride—it’s hard to tell. The story keeps twisting, with double-crosses and betrayals popping up basically every ten minutes. But honestly, it’s not just about the cash. The movie digs into ambition, desperation, and how easy it is to lose yourself when you’re chasing something big. Rapheal Pozholiparambil steps up as the director, bringing a gritty, restless energy that doesn’t let up, and the whole thing is packed with sharp dialogue, local flavor, and enough suspense to keep you guessing. By the end, you’re left wondering who—if anyone—deserved to win. Or if there even was a way out in the first place.
