Movie Review : Trauma

 A hyperlink anthology thriller by  debut director Thambithurai, Trauma revolves the lives of several characters.


A young petrol attendant, Selvi ( Poornima Ravi), becomes pregnant after a boyfriend Jeeva( Prathoosh), betrays her. He is involved with a dangerous blackmailing gang who targets women.



Another couple Sundar and Geeta ( Vivek Prasanna , Chandini  Tamilarasan) become targets of the same gang. 

In an story, a couple of petty car thieves get involved with the cops after a dead body is found in the car they stole.

How are all these incidents inter-related?

Good casting carries the film, lending credibilty to the story.  Chandini, Vivek and Ananth Nag shine in their portions, conveying desperation, frustration, and hope, while Prathoosh makes a confident screen debut. Poornima's solid act along with that of the supporting cast, adds to the mystery and thrill elements about what next. 

The thriller has an interesting storyline which keeps you invested in the racy screenplay though at times songs slow down the proceedings. 

However, the making of grand with drone shots adding a scale and thrill factor of the film.  The camerawork , especially in the indoor night sequences add to the atmosphere of the story. 

There are a few lags here and there and the comedy track  could have been toned down a bit. A few questions about the medical angle remain.

Overall a gripping thriller with a social message, good casting, solid performances and a sound technical team.

Rating 3/5
