Trance (2020 Malayalam) Movie review

Trance is different and intriguing at first and then it trampling around somewhere else. The start seemed to be sad and mind disturbing and once they showed Gowtham Vasudev Menon, the movie ventured into different direction, fortunately in the right direction. Then in the second half it all got spoiled. All the interest it created just vanished into the thin air.

The story is simple. It's about the Fake Pastor who was made by the fake religious group. The group's motive is business and target is mind disturbed persons. So, they select him as a pastor, dog-train him and then launch him as a kickass powerful pastor who cures diseases by touching them. All seemed to.be going well but then something terrible happen . What happens to the pastor and that fake religious group is the rest of the movie. The point of making this movie might be to create some awareness about those money looting fake religious groups. But did we not already seen this kind of things in video clips that is getting posted in social media every other day? A pastor making the cripple to walk and touching to cure cancer. It all felt like going in circles. Then the climax is too predictable. The positive side of the movie is it's visual appeal and Fahad's acting. Nazriya tried to play as a drug addict but it failed miserably. Just didn't fit. May be that's why Trance didn't feel like a trance at all.
