Ezra is an Indian Malayalam horror thriller film written and directed by Jay K, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. Major filming locations were Fort Kochi and Sri Lanka.Principal photography began in late-June 2016. The music of the film features songs composed separately by Rahul Raj and Sushin Shyam.

R a n j a n M a t h e w (Prithviraj) and his wife Priya Raghuram (Priya Anand) relocate from Mumbai to Kochi. At Kochi they move into a lovely old villa and Priya keeps herself busy by decorating the villa with handpicked curios.

In that process Priya comes across a strange looking box at the antique shop of Moosaka (Alencier Ley Lopez). With the entry of the box in to the villa, both Priya and Ranan realise that their peaceful existence has gone on to get disturbed. How do they go on to face the situation and overcome it is what Ezra is all about. Jay K and his co-writer Manu Gopal have come up with a novel concept. Jews have been around in India and Kochi for long, yet no one so far has explored the Jewish background and used “Dybbuk” as an element of horror, till Ezra came along.

The film is technically sound. Sujith Vaassudev’s cinematography is an asset; the songs by Rahul Raj and Sushin Shyam go with the flow. The pace does dip a bit inbetween and the film does not have any jump scary moments as such. And the culmination to the tale is a bit of let-down. But all these do not take away from the fact that the film has a lot of positives going in its favour. Sudev Nair, Vijayaraghavan, Sujith Shankar, Babu Antony and Tovino Thomas play their parts well. Priya Anand makes a confident entry into Malayalam cinema and she compliments Prithviraj well. Prithviraj gets back to form in style with Ezra, as he plays Ranjan Mathew with a lot of maturity.

Ezra certainly a good movie.it is build on a superb storyline.The camera quality was extra ordinary.The film goes through the life of Ranjan.Even though it is categoried as horror,it will not give a horrible effect to us.But the story is a extra ordinary one.The film has little twists and turns.
Any way Ezra make worth your ticket and time.
