Trance

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

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.

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.

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

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.
