Trivandrum Lodge

The film Trivandrum Lodge is a cinematic work belonging to the romantic drama genres, directed by V K Prakash.

The film's narrative is focused on a lodge named Trivandrum Lodge and the lives of its inhabitants, with the film's storyline tracking the continuous lives of these individuals. The lodge was owned by a businessman named Ravi Shankar, who had a son named Arjun. The lives of these characters are intricately woven into the film's narrative. One of the inhabitants is Abdu, portrayed as an innocent character who faces significant challenges in his personal life. The narrative then introduces a young woman who becomes a central figure in the lives of the inhabitants. The narrative then shifts its focus to the interactions between the inhabitants and this new arrival. Abdu himself becomes embroiled in a serious relationship with her, and it is only at the film's conclusion that the viewer learns of the legal status of the lodge, which is revealed to have no such documentation. The narrative culminates in a climactic scene featuring the intervention of someone.

The narrative was of substandard quality, and the direction was unconventional, with a lack of cohesion throughout the film and no engaging moments. The performances were average, and the musical scores were the most commendable aspect of the film. However, it is not recommended for one time watching.

A movie where the script and dialogues are quite frank and real. The movie introduced a few characters whom not everyone would meet up in our day to day life but exists. Trivandrum Lodge somehow has enough rooms to accommodate these characters. A movie delivered a message that every one has their own perspective to the way they look at life and the way they live it. I enjoyed it but certain dialogues are so frank that you may end up feeling embarrassed if you are sitting next to your parents. If you are someone looking out for a great story line, you may be a bit dejected as this is a series of events at least a few of us have experienced. If not you should at least get to experience through this movie. I wish the very best to Anup Menon and team to come up with many more good movies.

Giving a 10 to balance the imbd score. This is one such movie which takes a bold attempt to convey adulthood. Even though there are flaws in the movie, the cinematography is something which needs to be lauded. Right from the start which begins with the piano being played to the end of the movie, everything is beautifully captured. Moreover this movie was breakthrough for actors like Saiju Kurup & Thesni Khan.

It would be unfair to compare V K Prakash' latest offering 'Trivandrum Lodge' with his earlier 'Beautiful'; both are entirely different films. 'Trivandrum Lodge' may not appeal to as many people as did 'Beautiful' and the family audience may mostly keep away, but there is no denying the fact that the film is good.

There may be critics who'd want to dismiss the film as just another deliberate attempt at the so-called 'new generation cinema' and would thereby tend to overlook the film's plus points. Well, I won't bother about the format as long as the film is good. Why should I?

This movie is different, bold, well-scripted, well-directed and with good performances. Watch it but not with your family.

A genuine attempt to make a bold and open movie on human being's sexual desire went totally scattered all over the place. Half cooked characters and weak dialogues made it looked like a B- grade film. Acting was horrible, even Jayasurya wasn't convincing. Anoop menon was mimicking Mohanlal. Only character stood out was Tesni khan. Syju kurup was okay too. 4 star just for the attempt.
