Trance

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

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.

Trance has one of the best shot moments in the entirety of malayalam cinema. It's the scene where the film was at it's peak, only to hurdle down a never ending hill. It's not the 'perfect' in the story department, but they blew it apart technically. Every single shot in Trance is otherworldly. In a sense, even if you don't pay attention to the story, your money is gonna be well spent on the visuals alone. Amal Neerad knocked it out of the park with his godly cinematography. It's a masterclass combination is what it is. Amal Neerad-Anwar Rasheed combo was the best thing that happened to malayalam cinema this year. Anwar Rasheed has commandeered a film of a big canvas, he strutted it around long enough for the film to be 'perfect'. In a way, the screenplay dragged down a film that was worthy of becoming a classic in Malayalam cinema.

Fahadh was the limelight and he did his role justice. Viju Prasad/Joshua Calton was brought to life by his best performance in his career (personal opinion). Nazriya felt like an unneeded addition to an already spectacular cast. Soubin, Sreenath Bhasi, Vinayakan were all well utilised although having very limited screen time. Joju George appeared on screen for about 10 seconds and that is that. There was no more of Joju George in the film. I don't think there was even a name for his character. Chemban Vinod was just his persona yet again, a monotonous performance. Gautham Menon did good. Dileesh Pothan stood apart from the secondary characters as he received more screen time and dialogues as Avarachan.

Trance uses heavy display of colours. I couldn't have worded that better. Colours were popping out of nowhere. Don't watch Trance while high. You're just going to be more stoned after the film.

Trance fails hard in connecting the dots and summing up the storylines it started. Nazriya's character arc was pretty much screwed from the beginning. It almost felt that the 2nd half of the film was rushed, although that is not the case.

Trance is something that is going to be landmark in Malayalam cinema. Not because of how good it is, but because how beautiful it is. No malyalam film could compete with Trance in terms of it's visuals.

An Anwar rasheed show along with a master DOP and BGM. Fahadh at its peak of energy level. Nazriya showing some gorgeous looks.

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.
