Season

About This Movie

Season is a curious piece from 1989 that stands out, not just for its narrative but for Padmarajan's unique storytelling approach. The film dives deep into the murky waters of crime and drug trade, with Mohanlal's performance really anchoring the film. There's this gritty realism that gives it an almost documentary feel, which you don’t see too often in mainstream cinema. The pacing is a bit languid, but that serves to build tension and a certain atmospheric weight. The characters, flawed and complex, feel like they’re pulled straight from life rather than fiction. While it didn’t set the box office on fire, it has a distinctive vibe that makes it worth discussing amongst collectors who appreciate subtler works. There's something compelling about its imperfections, too.
