I cannot say that “traffic” recently released Malayalam film without those arrogant irritating presence of superstars who care a damn about value of art and giving respect to those who deserve it,is great.
There are so many imperfections even in the story line.But still that film gave me a hope that Malayalam film industry will survive and grow if only those super stars can be shown the door to leave this form of art.They do not care for the future of this form of art which can act as an entertainer,thought generator and reformer of common man.All they want is that Malayalam film goers should only see their foolish films which have only one story with different names.
There is a limit to which film enthusiasts in Kerala can be continuously fooled by meaningless films without any proper story or difference.
A story is one which has something different,special, interesting to hear.Most of the films in Malayalam which simply drains pockets of producer fools of those films ,simply do not have a story.
Some songs in regular intervals which of late has more of music and less of even meaningful verses come one after another.Viewer of the film has to believe that unhealthy looking super star will demolish simply by waving of his hand any number of able bodied men! Then those old men in their sixties will do some gimmicks in the name of love with teen aged girls.Finally that superman will destroy all “evil men “single handedly and make a roar of triumph!
This same story line we have been seeing and finally after getting irritated ,Keralites have started boycotting these endless films coming one after another.In this scenario, film “Traffic” is different and it prompts viewer to sit with interest and eagerness in the theatre chair instead of getting bored by antics of actors like Suraj Venjaranmood which can only produce contempt instead of expected laugher.
I only hope that success of this film will lead to such films or better films with credible story line,believable performance by actors and sensible presentation of story.
Even in this film there was an unnecessary song as if song is essential for films.Normally people who watch Malayalam films relax and talk with those who sit with them during those rest time given by these unwanted songs.But in “traffic “this unwanted song was in the beginning disturbing mind of the viewer and make him wonder whether this is one of those foolish films to be proven otherwise ,after escaping that song.
Generally film viewers make their first impression on film and decide whether to see the film or not by observing posters of the film which gave them some inkling on the content of film.The posters of this film ,traffic was designed by a fool capable of driving away any one who may consider going for the film.Luckily the film will get word of mouth reputation and will attract more viewers in spite of the poor posters.
