Trance

Trance movie marks the comeback of Anwar Rasheed to direction after his last directed film Usthad Hotel 7 years back.

Trance portraits the life of Viju Prasad, A motivational trainer who lives in Kanyakumari with his mental unstable Mental brother. The unexpected death of his brother forces him to leave Kanyakumari to Mumbai where was transformed to Pastor Joshua Carlton, A spiritual motivator. Trance movie clearly show the usage of Relegion as a drug and as a business path where buisness and money minded people uses Relegion as a business opportunity.

Fahad Fasil asthonished the viewers with this extraordinary act as Viju In the film. This walk, talk and even his thoughts in film were one of the best moments in film. Totally it was fahad's one-man show. Nazariya Nazim as Esther Lopez also did her part well. The acting of Srinath Bhasi, Dileesh Pothan, Soubhin Shahir, Vinayakan were also good and supportive for the story.

Coming to technical side of Trance Movie. The Direction of Anwar Rasheed was extraordinary. The Background Scoring and Music by Jackson Vijayan and Sushin Syam was really appereciatable. It supports the movie a lot. The cinematography of Amal Neerad was also superb. The shots of Kanyakumari to Amsterdam was excdllent and also of high quality.

In my opinion a must watch movie in theatre. Trance clearly show the current status of society. The money mindness of people and people's usage of relegion as a business opportunity. It is also a eye opener for people who blindly believe in Relegious treatment or spiritual motivations and heal power

My Personal Rating: 5/5

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.

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

IT IS A SOMETHING DIFFERENT MOVIE IN THE INDUSTRY WHICH HAD ITS TRACK TILL THE FIRST HALF BUT IN THE SECOND HALF FROM NAZRIYA INTRO,THE CLIMAX AND SOME SCENE BETWEEN THEM AND AROUND ALL THIS GAP THE MOVIE WILL DISSAPOINT US REALLY THE MOVIE SECOND HALF GOSE LIKE A GRAPH LIKE GOING DOWN COMING UP ORDER.

THE MASTERPIECE ACTING OF FAHAD AND HIS CREW WAS MIND BLOWING AND THE BGM WAS SUPERB THE CAMERA AND DIRECTION IS LIKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND BRLIANT THE STORY IS ALSO FRESH

BUT NOT AS MUCH AS EXPECTED

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.
