Trance
On: Amazon Prime Video
Director: Anwar Rasheed
Cast: Fahadh Faasil, Dileesh Pothan
Rating: 

Can't recall the last time, or in fact ever, that I've seen a director, in this case, Robert Zemeckis, and more particularly his film, Contact (1997), thanked in the opening credits of a film. That said, can't sense much in common between Contact and Trance (that just dropped on Amazon Prime Video) — by way of an adapted screenplay, if you may.

And there are other films and their directors named as well — such as Anjali Menon, and her Malayalam blockbuster Bangalore Days (2014, on Hotstar), which also featured this film's lead actor, Fahadh Faasil, in a prominent role.
