Raastha

Absolute waste of money. Don't waste your money. Credits of the movie was literally the best part. The director has also threatened one of the honest movie reviewers with death threats and worse which is available to see on YouTube now. Aneesh Anwar should spare public of such a waste of time and money. He has done absolutely zero research and has just shot the movie using a camera and crew without any thought involved. Lot of scenes where even common sense was lacking. Guess common sense is not so common after all especially when it comes to this director. In short, spend your money somewhere else.

Raastha follows a simplistic narrative with a generic first half devoted to establishing the characters and their efforts to find the whereabouts of Shahana's mother, Fathima. It is exactly at the halfway stage that we arrive at the area of conflict-the desert. Faizal, Shahana, Mujeeb and Khalid, an Omani national, get trapped in Rub' al Khali deserts, while on their way to meet a woman suspected to be Shahana's mother.

At the interval point, it is written on screen that Rub' al Khali is one of the world's most dangerous deserts. But the real challenge lies in visually conveying why it is a deadly desert. To be fair, Aneesh Anwar and his team effectively portray the horrors of getting caught in such a situation. The tension building is done gradually by employing wide frames that capture nothing but endless stretches of sand dunes and ominous music.

Came to know that the film was released only because director called the father of a person who was reviewing the money, there was no promotion at all, there were only 100 people in the theatre, on the fourth day of the film's release. There was no expectation and the same was the case with a 30-40 minutes in the first half of the film, and then it felt a little better, by the time the interval. Then the second half had no words , the making that looked like a Hollywood movie, the scenes, the film that was watched without any expectations and at the end of the day i got to see people standing up and clapping their hands, in a word it was a great film.

If you're looking for a hidden gem, give Rasta a chance. It's a gripping and well-crafted film that deserves more attention. Don't let its box office performance deter you - this movie is worth watching! The cinematography was stunning, the movie was filmed in the beautiful landscapes of Oman .The director's vision and skill in bringing the story to life is worth mentioning.
