There's fun internal bickering among the lads, mostly about bovine sex, but what writer Naman Ramachandran best captures is the sexist, selfish creed to which the groups at hand subscribe.

Rated: 3/5

The Hollywood Reporter

The 1980s in southern India receive affectionate reimagining in Brahman Naman, a coming-of-age-comedy about sex-obsessed college students and their quest to lose their virginity.

Diverting if seldom hilarious.

A tonal overdose of empty retro male debauchery.

It's about as much fun as it can be watching a gaggle of undergrads getting drunk again and again and again.

Consequence

Brahman Naman is like a crispy Samosa with nothing at the center. The Netflix release pays homage to American sex comedies from Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds to There's Something About Mary, but lacks the heart to go along with the excess of raunch.

Rated: C

(Ext. Cosmic Ocean/Vishnu relaxes on his Shesha snake float) Vishnu: (holds leash coming from belly which is attached to a collar around Brahma's neck who floats high above) How's my doggie? Brahma: (all heads Woof) Fine. Vishnu: What's it like to feel you are floating high above your master? Brahma: It's a different kind of sees for sure. Vishnu: Tell me Brahma, why doesn't India worship you? Brahma: (all heads Woof) The dog forgot this was all a trick of his master. May I get down now? Vishnu: (Shesha hisses) The float says there's no room for your gravity. Brahma: Did the float tell you your battle was not with me? Vishnu: (pulls leash a bit) No. Brahma: (sarcastically) Oh really. Who let you know, master? Vishnu: (pulls leash down all the way so Brahma may share Shesha) I was battling the ocean, it's true. Don't fall asleep on the float. (Shesha hisses) Brahma: Can you control your float so it won't bite me? Vishnu: My float won't bite, you of all lord-doggies know it's my ocean which does all the venomous drowning.

Felt like I was sitting in a cheap shady theatre where I m the only one who bought the ticket and the actors had to drag the act for paying their rent. Most part was clichéd, overstretched and overacted without any story and rest was copied.
