À propos de ce film

Fahad Fazil is a geeky software professional who suffers from an Obsessiveñcompulsive disorder. A hartal day sees him travelling to Trivandrum for a conference, and in the midst of the night, he ends up at Paravur railway station with two strangers - Nedumudi Venu a veteran politician and Swathi Reddy a social worker - for company. Fahad Fazil has to interrupt his journey and go to the other side of the state to help Nedumudi Venu, reach his home in Kozhikode, where his wife is critically ill. This not only upsets Fahad's routine and schedule, but also disturbs his standard of hygiene. He is joined by Swathi Reddy who is the other extreme and goes out of her way to help others. The journey becomes a learning experience for Fahad. The film is about the interplay between these three main characters. (CBFC U DIL/1/98/2013-THI)

Notes et avis

An excellent story about an OCD sufferer (Fahadh Faasil) and his change on his journey to help a fellow passenger. He comes off as anti-social at first, but through the well weaved story, he gradually softens a bit and you start to really feel for his character. Swathi Reddy and Nedumudi Venu, his fellow companions, contribute their excellent acting to make this one great feel good story. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sad, but beginning to end, you are fully engaged and never bored. The music and all the fun side characters round out the movie to make this one hit and a must see. It will make you stop and realize, the world is not such a bad scary place and it takes all kinds of people to make it an interesting journey.

Perhaps the first of its kind in the a contemporary self realization genre in recent malayalam cinema. There could not be a better actor than Fahad Fasil to playy the central character in this movie.

If you like Anbe Sivam, then you'll love this road movie. Top class performance by Fahaad and Nedumudi. Loved it. A great drama to relax on a Sunday afternoon.
