Night Drive

Watchable thriller with no nonsense character or scenes.

All character have done their job well, even the story, BGM Matches and the entire movie has come as nice watchable thriller.

Night Drive only picks up momentum once CI Benny Moopen (Indrajith Sukumaran) enters the plot with some compelling twists to follow. Only a few of them land well, but Vysakh's attempt at a light thriller is still one of his better works, keeping that needless climax fight sequence aside. Yes, it is a somewhat toned-down version of thrillers flaunting the same premise, but it's coherent for the most part. The making is better suited to the OTT audiences than theatres, with some of the early portions not standing out.

The leads' characterization is also one of the weaker elements, with Roshan, Anna, and Indrajith all suffering from it. Also, I wouldn't say I liked how the script made the journo character a mere spectator towards the end when she could've done so much more. The music and background score were subpar. Night Drive lacks that much-needed wow factor, placing it in the category of throwaway thrillers.

This is a movie related to politics and gold smuggling. News Followers and readers can easily relate with this movie. Very well made, with perfect casting, well made screenplay, and also unpredictable twists... Indrajith, Roshan Mathew, Anna Ben, Siddique, Kailash have accomplished their roles in the utmost perfection. I would suggest everyone reading this to watch this movie at least one time.

Night drive is a decent movie to watch on an OTT platform. Clearly Roshan has been miscast for this role. I don't think he can do the mass masala roles cos his acting is too realitic and toned down. For instance, the final transformation scenes in the movie looks very forced. Anna Ben is just there and has nothing much to do. Indrajith brings the much needed drama and thrill to the movie, but takes a backseat in the movie in terms of character development and screen time. The overall plot of the movie is also quite weak and nonsensical, but most of the logic through the movie made sense. Decent thriller, but the young actors should choose roles in stories that suit them. This didn't work for Roshan and Anna.

The movie starts off well by introducing all the characters and the 1st half hour of the movie is focussed mainly on the relationship between Georgy (Roshan) and Riya (Anna). So, after the 1st half an hour we get to the main plot and it might seem clichè but it will not disappoint you if you watch it till the end. The twists we re well executed. To me, there were no negatives to this film apart from a small, tiny buildup-like scene in the climax.
