I watched this film at Krishna Theatre. It was renovated recently. In my school days this was a infamous theatre as most of the films screened there was 'A' rated. It has changed a lot...now its A/C, it has DTS...the first gud theatre in kazhakuttom....The films is about social activist Sathyanathan (Srinivasan), who decides to help Anuradha (Mamta), a television reporter, in a bid to expose a shady politician (Jagathy Sreekumar), who is milking the state through mining scams. Sathyanathan had met Anuradha’s husband, a lawyer Nandan Menon (Dilip), during a train journey.
It all happens on a day when destiny throws in a bunch of people going on with their uneventful lives, together on a mission. Sathyanathan (Sreenivasan) is one of the millions of daily commuters by train, who having fallen asleep one late night misses his home town station. Waking up, he gets acquainted with Nandan Menon (Dileep), an advocate by profession who is heading to a hotel room where he would be alone for the night, since his wife Anuradha (Mamta Mohandas) is away on an assignment, covering up a news story that has been rocking the state. The men strike up a pleasant conversation before parting ways as the train grinds to a halt. Little do they realize that the TV journo has on her cards, a set of different plans - those that will change their lives forever.
Veterans Srinivasan and Jagathy carry the film on their able shoulders with terrific support from Dilip, who has surprisingly agreed to play second fiddle to the main protagonist in spite of being a bigger box-office draw.
The thought-provoking narration is simple and yet gripping aided by tech props like laptops and mobile phones.
In a nutshell, “Passenger” is a must-watch.
IT professional and director Renjith Shankar has done a good work in this movie
