Rajesh Pillai's traffic has got it's unique place in the Malayalam movie history(so far)considering the type of plot it handles and mode of narration adopted.The essence of the story is based on real events happened in Chennai.The plot revolves around (most of the time) the events happening between morning and evening on a particular day. Super star Sidharth Shankar(Rahman) is on a desperate run for a donor for his daughter's heart transplantation,Raihan(Vineeth Sreenivasan) an aspiring journalist is on his way to office, Traffic Constable Sudevan(Sreenivasan)is on the first day of duty after suspension and Dr. Abel Tharyan(Kunchako Boban) is test driving his dream,a car!!These 4 strangers are connected through the string of fate.How???that is the rest of the story. This movie adopted a non-linear method to tell the whole story going back and forth on the time line,during the whole movie.but the screenplay is so solid that the spectator never looses the grip on the story.The director and editor is so keen on keeping the viewers on edge of their seats most of the time.

I saw the movie last week..I would say I liked it..does not loved really..but my friend who watched the same thing with me,had a different opinion to share..(I saw the Tamil version) But the problem with most of the people,who are 'so unhappy' with the film is that they thought this going to be exactly like Ramayana,in which Raaman is the ultimate hero and that's because Ramayan was written in India.. The director is actually trying to tell what if the Ramayan was written in Lanka????

Who will be the hero then?? what will be perceptive of the events happening in Ramayan?

Simply Mani Rathnam is answering all those questions through the movie...and he done it well... certainly with the help of Vikram and Santhosh Sivan and lot others...

I liked it because of the cinematography and a good adaptation of the epic..I didn't loved it because plot is weak...

I loved the end,because the director took something from actual Ramayana and twisted it in favor of the whole movie...
