🌀 Maya Puthagam (2024) is a Tamil-language fantasy thriller that dives into the mystical and eerie world of supernatural forces and ancient secrets. Directed by debutant 🎬 Rama Jayaprakash, this film blends fantasy, horror, and suspense with a touch of traditional folklore. Released on 19 July 2024, it stars Ashok Kumar Balakrishnan, Abarnathi, and Srikanth in leading roles, with Aadukalam Naren, Madhankumar Dhakshinamoorthy, and K. S. G. Venkatesh in strong supporting parts. 🌙

📖 Story:The film follows Guru (Ashok Kumar), a young scholar who discovers an ancient “Maya Puthagam” — a mystical book said to contain hidden powers that can alter reality itself. His curiosity soon becomes obsession as he begins unlocking its forbidden secrets. 🔮

Things take a dark turn when Panchamadevi (Abarnathi), a woman with mysterious ties to the book, warns him of the curse it carries. As spirits awaken and an old family feud resurfaces through Rangaraja Yaadhavrayar (Aadukalam Naren), the story spirals into a thrilling battle between wisdom and the supernatural. Ghostly illusions, haunted mansions, and eerie chants fill the screen as Guru must decide whether to embrace the power of the book—or destroy it before it consumes him. 👻

🎥 Direction & Technicals: Director Rama Jayaprakash makes a confident debut, crafting an atmosphere thick with suspense and intrigue. 🏚️ The first half skillfully builds tension inside a decaying bungalow that sets the tone for the ghostly mystery. Arumugam’s cinematography captures the gothic mood beautifully, while Priyan’s editing ✂️ keeps the pacing taut. Ravi Vijayanand’s music score 🎵 adds to the chills — especially in the tense sequences involving the ancient manuscript and eerie whispers.

🎭 Performances: Ashok Kumar Balakrishnan anchors the film with a steady performance as the inquisitive Guru torn between logic and fear. Abarnathi as Panchamadevi shines in her mysterious, emotionally layered role. Srikanth and Aadukalam Naren lend strong support, while K. S. G. Venkatesh and Ilavarasu add gravitas to the haunted ensemble. Each character feels part of a world teetering between faith and illusion. 🌑

🌟 Final Thoughts: Maya Puthagam may not reinvent the supernatural genre, but it delivers solid thrills with traditional Tamil flavor. 📚 The film’s concept of a “magic book” tied to destiny gives it a fresh mythic edge, even if the execution occasionally stumbles. If you love mysterious thrillers filled with folklore, spirits, and forbidden power — this one’s worth a watch under dim lights. 💀
