Trance

I was so excited for this movie and after all the wait I seen it and pretty much impressed. I mean Anwar Rasheed just nailed it and Fahad fazil... What an actor man. The energy of his in this movie is just amazing. Amal neerad's cinematography it's another backbone of this movie. All the other supporting characters played by other actors were great, they done their job neat and clear in my opinion. Music was another great piece of work in this movie and offcourse the editing... Every single cut has its own style. Overall I loved. It's a must watch theatre experience.

Vinayakan's title theme was the winner as it played on the drive back home.

Scaling was done pretty well all through the movie. The credit goes to Amal Neerad's cinematography, Fahad's performances, the costumes, colors. Grandeur all through.

It is Fahad's one-man show. Starting portion had a "bridge" touch to it.

The movie is pretty focused on it's subject. Was looking to get thrown into different worlds based on the trailer - did not happen. It is a very uni-dimensional movie. Nasriya has been used as trailer material. Nasriya's portion could have been built better from a script perspective.

The movie addresses the social issue in a lock-horn fashion. There is a freshness to the direction style. Jackson Vijayan's songs were good. Sound design was good.

The fact is I had super lofty expectations about the movie - that I will get lost in it's amazing layering. The movie was much simpler than that. On the other hand, it is a lot of movie. The time that the movie took to release shows in how there are hardly any portions that could have been ironed out better. From an execution stand point, it is pretty good.

I Watched the movie in Amazon prime. Movie starts good and engaging till the first half. Trance failed in connecting the dots and summing up the storylines it started. It almost felt like that the second half of the film was rushed, although that is not the case.

Fahad fasil astonished the viewers with this extraordinary acting as Viju in the film, lived the character to the fullest and deserve all the praise for his extraordinary acting. He deserves Oscar.

The leading lady, Nazriya Nazim, is felt like an unneeded addition to an already spectacular cast. Vinayakan were all well utilised although having very limited screen time. Gowtham Menon did good. Let it be Chemban Vinod, Dileesh Pothan, Joju George, Soubin Shahir and many others with their role is brilliant.

Trance clearly show the current status of the society. The money mindness of people and people's usage of religion as a business opportunity. It is also as a eye opener for people who blindly believe in religious treatment for spiritual motivation and heal power. Must watchable film.

Trance movie marks the comeback of Anwar Rasheed to direction after his last directed film Usthad Hotel 7 years back.

Trance portraits the life of Viju Prasad, A motivational trainer who lives in Kanyakumari with his mental unstable Mental brother. The unexpected death of his brother forces him to leave Kanyakumari to Mumbai where was transformed to Pastor Joshua Carlton, A spiritual motivator. Trance movie clearly show the usage of Relegion as a drug and as a business path where buisness and money minded people uses Relegion as a business opportunity.

Fahad Fasil asthonished the viewers with this extraordinary act as Viju In the film. This walk, talk and even his thoughts in film were one of the best moments in film. Totally it was fahad's one-man show. Nazariya Nazim as Esther Lopez also did her part well. The acting of Srinath Bhasi, Dileesh Pothan, Soubhin Shahir, Vinayakan were also good and supportive for the story.

Coming to technical side of Trance Movie. The Direction of Anwar Rasheed was extraordinary. The Background Scoring and Music by Jackson Vijayan and Sushin Syam was really appereciatable. It supports the movie a lot. The cinematography of Amal Neerad was also superb. The shots of Kanyakumari to Amsterdam was excdllent and also of high quality.

In my opinion a must watch movie in theatre. Trance clearly show the current status of society. The money mindness of people and people's usage of relegion as a business opportunity. It is also a eye opener for people who blindly believe in Relegious treatment or spiritual motivations and heal power

My Personal Rating: 5/5

If you are too religious stay away from this one.. Not every ones cup of tea.. Solid first half. Unconvincing second half and cliched climax let down the movie.... Fahad and his expressive eyes rules the movie
