Barroz 3D

Barroz 3D (also marketed as Barroz 3D – Guardian of Treasures) is a 2024 Indian children's fantasy film directed by Mohanlal, in his directorial debut, and produced by Antony Perumbavoor's Aashirvad Cinemas. It received mixed reviews from critics. The film stars Mohanlal in the titular role, alongside Maya Rao West, Cesar Lorente Raton, Ignacio Mateos, Kallirroi Tziafeta, Nerea Camacho and Tuhin Menon.

Barroz 3D was announced in April 2019, which was originally written by Jijo Punnoose based on his novel Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure. Pre-production works continued for over a year. Principal photography for the film began in March 2021, but was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting changes to the story, screenplay, and cast. Mohanlal and T. K. Rajeev Kumar collaborated to rewrite the scenes, characters, and locations, leading to Punnoose's exit from the film and forfeiting his credits

Filming restarted in December 2021 and wrapped up in July 2022, where the film was predominantly shot in Kochi and Goa, with two songs filmed in Bangkok and Chennai. The film was completely shot in 3D. The original score was composed by Mark Kilian, while Lydian Nadhaswaram, Fernando Guerreiro, and Miguel Guerreiro composed the songs. Santosh Sivan was the cinematographer and B. Ajithkumar was the editor.

Barroz 3D was released in theatres on 25 December 2024, coinciding with Christmas, in 3D. It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. It was praised for its unique attempt, 3D effects and cinematography but criticized for its script, screenplay, dialogues. It was a box office bomb.
