THE TRAIN
by Dipesh Shreshtha on Jun 10, 2011 01:05 PM

The Train sure had its own route to take. I would not say that it got derailed.

Mammooty's role was strong but they should have shown a better coordination with the Mumbai police.

The telephonic love angle between Jayasurya and Aanchal Saberwal was quite interesting and unique. Being her first movie, she acted well.

The end should have been a little stronger.

On the whole the movie was entertaining.

I would pass it with 3 stars

The TRAIN : Strong theme, Silly approach!

Caught THE TRAIN. And I didn't feel it got derailed at all by the way. It had some very lengthy crossings en route but at the end it's a slow catcher.

That said, the audience need not have to go through all those songs and very slow build-up for some quick few seconds of thrill at the end. That's where the film get into the bore mode. Wish there was more of Kedarnath in the movie.

And there is sad turn of events at the the end, which is not shown so loud. But after a while only you'll feel oh he too!(That is the slow catcher!)

And like that contest they put up offering a Nano car as a prize, there is a very interesting creative approach in the film which is unique in itself.(Guess you can find it out) All that not enough for a popular vote,anyways. :)

Bad year for Mamooty

From that Tom Cruise inspired MI 2 jump in Doubles things haven't been going right for Mamootty this year. Too many half baked releases do not serve the purpose. And on top of that more half baked stuff like King 2 to come (wasn't August 15 a good enuf lesson?).
Please don't go the Lal way and get back to makers like Ranjith etc .
