Highly Overrated But Still Good
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Passenger directed and scripted by Ranjith sankar speaks of a persons humanity. Movie has strong cast line, Sreenivasan was main cynosure of the film and Jagathy character is more of a political despot. The movie tells the life of many villagers get endanger with jagathy political power, in attempt to save them Dileep get messed up where Sreenivasan get sucked into it being a plot driven film, and how Sreenivasan with his friends makes a desperate attempt to conquer against all odds, which ended up saving many and also by revealing to the media about conspiracy held by Jagathy behind this gambling. Passenger is a good film which can be appreciate for his novelty theme. Music by Bijibal is hummable which is played as a end credits and B.G.M is good. As a débutante work Passenger may be aloof far from a perfect, but can be praise for its simplicity and moral values which it taught.+ve: ¤Script. ¤Performance. ¤Songs(ending credits) and bgm. ¤Direction was fine.Must watch for those who like thought provoking movie, at least for the message which it delivers. I would rate it 7.7/10. Verdict: Good movie!
View MoreWe cant say Dileep is the hero of the movie......its an all round performance.... Starting from the taxi driver(Nedumodi Venu) to The Lawyer himself(Dileep) everyone are the hero of the movie.....Excellent movie..... Very natural, no filmy songs, fights or anything that can happen in movies alone..... Its all a very common real life incident.... Hats off to the New Director....Sreenivasan's role was the best in the movie...... any common man can learn from him a few lessons....And I love Mamtha , and she has done pretty well in this movie.....This is exactly a thriller with emotion packed turns every scenes....
View MoreHere he is; Ranjith Shankar, a débutant director, has ability to deliver! Upon seeing the posters and lines many were confused, including myself, what genre this movie would be. You get the answer before interval; it's a well executed soft thriller. The movie keeps you edge of your seat post interval. All characters are interesting. No-nonsense. Jagathy excelled as the cool villain. Valsala Menon character as Sreenivasan's mother is well thought! There are loose ends, very minor though. But it still does the purpose. A new breed to Malayalam Cinema. We need director's like Ranjith Shankar who thinks off the usual. Watch it!
View MoreI'll make it simple. Malayalam movie themes use to revolve round a hero and a villain and his(heroes) less important wife/love and (most of the times, unwanted) songs. BUT this new director, came up with something that's completely different. Without any unwanted masala and the likes. And that's what it's all about. If you ask what is special about this movie, the first thing that comes to my mind will be the fresh change that it has brought. It's not a completely unpredictable movie, but still it's miles better than the usual line of malayalam movies.It is the story of an common man doing uncommon things; above all it's about being good at heart. Two big thumbs up for the director, Ranjith Shankar. Footnote:Considering Ranjith Shankar(hopefully), Blessy(of course) and Lal Jose(to some extend) Malayalam movie industry seems to have some potential
