Bannerghatta

Making a story set in a moving vehicle a compelling watch is hardly easy. Banerghatta gets unfurled mostly in its protagonist's journey in the night, as constant phone calls and other interruptions disrupt things for him.

Aashiq is caught up in various financial issues and as he drives in the night to get a 'packet' delivered, he gets numerous calls. One of the calls is from his sister, Aashna, and as it abruptly ends, he feels she is in danger. The movie is mostly a passionate experiment with a single man appearing on screen for the longest time His distracted driving, often-concocted responses to phone calls and the dimly-lit night roads that form the backdrop build a sense of peril and bewilderment.

Such an amazing movie... It's more like an art film... Really enjoyed each and every shot... Such beautifully executed... Such a nice story telling with just 4 people, the build up was so great that each and every moment there were some other possibilities.... One night and only one person is onscreen for the majority of running time but it is more than enough to hook till the end, movie is crafted such interestingly. Really loved the performance of the lead actor. Worth watching film The story left a suspense as if he really had cocaine or it was a setup by police. Only Malayalam Movie Industry can make such movies in India. Simple mystery with Just one character for 95% of the movie onscreen. Definitely worth the time.

Good screen play, Acted well, managed to keep live and thrilling. As Debutant director- Good start.

This is my first review in ten years, please don't watch. Why are people misguiding us to watch movies like this. What's happening? I have not seen a dumb movie like this ever..if you wish please go ahead and finally you will find i was right.

This is one of the best Malayalam movies I have watched in recent times.. There is no big starcast in this film, but it doesn't matters when the film is very gripping. I really liked the idea of layered storytelling , this is a story of Ashiq and his one chaotic night drive. All we can see onscreen is only Ashiq himself. But still we can feel his every emotions and struggles so close as we are traveling with him the whole time. I could relate to his pain very much. This is more like a psychological thriller.

I have noticed more details when I watched second time. This is a gem of film. But As I said it's not everyone's cup of tea.
