Trapped is an entertaining thriller/survival drama, and a great critical commentary on life in the big city, how lonely it could be even when it's full of people, how self-centred people can be, totally unaware of their surroundings. This is where our hero is stuck, on the high floor of one of Mumbai's uninhabited apartment skyscrapers. He gets to live there temporarily and jumps on the opportunity to pay minimal rent. But soon enough he gets locked in the apartment, without electricity and ability to contact anyone. The film's premise sounds rather peculiar at first, how would anyone get locked inside an apartment? But once the film is on, everything fits perfectly into the story in what turns out to be a realistic and very grippingly convincing film. The film is not perfect, and it does strain credulity on several occasions, but it's forgivable. It goes without saying that nothing would work if not for Rajkummar Rao's excellent performance. Being a sole player is a great challenge for any actor, and Rao rises to the occasion. Rao is the film, he is the story, he is the script, and he is everything Trapped is. The other star is of course director Vikramaditya Motwane, who directs this feature with heart and soul, and makes it much more than just another survival story. Kudos to him for successfully conveying his important social message and keeping the audience on the edge of their seats through this entertaining and highly captivating film.

Trapped, isolated, hostage situations, those movies are great to me because you get to know the characters much more in dept.

If you like movies such as, All is lost The thing Terminal 127 hours ATM frozen (not the animated movie) the terminal die hard to name just a few, then you're not going to be disappointed of Trapped. Don't get turned off by the language being Hindi because there is very little dialog and it's not integral to the plot.

One question for the writers though, why didn't he check for dry walls between apartments. That would be the first thing I would do :)

After udaan and lootera motwane took another brave step in film making. It is a vision of director motwane and perfectly executed by his crew. This gripping story has no space for a popcorn refill and trapped is no regular movie and hence not everyone will enjoy it. Motwane proved that a film has no boundaries.

Trapped is a brilliant piece of art.

I had read about the exceptional reviews the movie had got at MAMI fest and damn,i was not not disappointed. Survival dramas are not really a forte in Bollywood.But every once in a while we get such plot driven,tight scripts that it re instills my faith in Indian cinema.Though it is on the lines of Cast away and 127 hours,what makes this unique is this not a isolated location but right in the rush-hush of Mumbai!The protagonist Shaurya (Rajkummar) gets trapped in a high rise with no food,water,electricity and the movie effectively captures his despair,attempts to break loose and finally,embracing his fears.

Rajkummar is effortless and brilliant.Geetanjali is good in her short but pivotal role.Special shout out to the cinematographer and score by Aloknanda Dasgupta,its haunting! The script is the boss here,kudos to the writers to have guts to attempt something like this. Vikramaditya is top notch as usual making this engaging,nail biting movie.I did wish he captured the psychological side of Shaurya(Rajkummar) throughout his ordeal a bit more eloquently and gave it more screen time.The climax sequence could have been even more better.

Overall its a great movie,must watch :)

It keeps you on the edge of your seat.for all those who are giving more 'logical' solutions, it shows common behaviour that an ordinary man will exhibit. He was npt some bear grylls or some escape artist.
