Traffic - Movie Review

A fateful day September 16.

• A superstar’s (Rahman) movie is getting released.
• A traffic constable (Sreenivasan) is rejoining duty after getting suspended for accepting bribe.
• A doctor (Kunchacko Boban) buying a car for his wife as a wedding anniversary gift.
• A budding TV journalist (Vineeth Sreenivasan) getting all set to do his first live interview programme.

“Traffic” interweaves the lives of the above characters - How a fatal accident affects 12 hours of their life. Nothing more about the storyline.

Rajesh Pillai had earlier directed “Hridayathil Sookshikkaan” which received a lackluster response from the audience. This time he did a truly remarkable comeback which no many directors are able to do after their debut movie fails miserably. Throughout the movie, you can feel his brilliance in handling such a complex script.

Mejo has given us a haunting background score in the movie.

Bobby & Sanjay had earlier written “Ente Veedu Appoontem” &“Note Book” has given us a tight, racy script with no or very less loopholes. One of the negatives pointed out by many was about the “Bilal Colony” scene. I liked that scene for obvious reasons J

This movie had a big star cast and almost everyone did a decent job.

This movie will keep you in the edge of your seats. It’s a thriller which you never experienced before in Malayalam cinema. A movie that truly requires a standing ovation. In one word – “Terrific!!!”
