Trance

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.

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

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.

The movie deserves a great applause as a whole. This seems the very first attempt in Malayalam film industry and very proud and daring challenge taken up by Anwar Rashid and his team. .

The religious addiction we have and growing when the science and technology is there to solve health realted issues, we still are being blindfolded with the so called religious Man God is very worrying. And the movie has just helped in how to perceive such MAN GODs we have in every religion is one best thing the movie did. .

For that the Director himself proved that he has chosen right actors and especially Fahad Fasil as the lead. He's something else when his character shifts and clearly standout from every other roles he had done in the past. .

The BGM by Sushin and Jackson Vijayan helped the movie a lot in maintaining the mood of trance along with expertised Cinematography from Amal Neerad. .

Watch it if you want to see where our society IS and where are we ourselves as an individual. .

The only problem with the movie lies in the second half when several characters come and how to deal with each of them. Otherwise. It is just Worth watching.

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.
