Traffic does not preach or boast but it touches hearts. Watch it for the emotional connect, and of course, the wonderful performances.

At the idea level, the makers have partially succeeded in ensuring that the film keeps you at the edge of your seat.

Traffic, both the original and its Hindi version, will forever bear testimony to the magnitude of the loss that Pillai’s untimely death represents for cinema.

This is a fitting swan song: an unmissable film.

The characters and key-plot situations are seamlessly interwoven. There are some predictable playing-to-the-gallery religious sentiments introduced to get the desired results. But this can be overlooked because at it’s core, this is a well-intentioned film with fine performances from its ensemble cast.

As we go through our humdrum living getting accustomed to regularity and blind to the unfamiliar, a story like Traffic gives us a reason to reflect on this extraordinary world that we live in. That is perhaps worth the dough you shell out at the box-office.

Traffic, both the original and its Hindi version, will forever bear authentication to the enormousness of the loss that Pillai’s untimely death represents for cinema. The goosebumps that shall rise and the pace of your heart beat are worth every second of his thriller. The unforeseen circumstances grip on to your attention so tight that you wouldn’t want to move an inch.
This one, you cannot miss, go grab your seats now.
