Vincent Vadakkan

Vincent Vadakkan’s filmography isn’t exactly your run-of-the-mill collection—this guy knows how to stir the pot. Trance (2020)? That movie’s a trip, no pun intended. It dives into the world of religious scam artistry and mental health with such wild energy, it’ll leave you blinking. Fahadh Faasil leads the madness as a washed-up motivational speaker who suddenly finds himself at the center of a shady spiritual movement. There’s glitz, there’s drama, and honestly, it gets pretty dark. The cinematography? Straight-up hypnotic. The lines between truth and illusion blur so much, you’ll be second-guessing reality for days. Rifle Club (2024) is a whole different beast. Swap the neon-hazed chaos for something that feels more grounded, but with tension you could slice with a butter knife. The story revolves around a group of unlikely misfits drawn together by their love—well, obsession—for shooting sports. But you know, it’s not really about the guns. It’s about what happens when these folks start unraveling secrets, both their own and each other’s. Expect slow-burn suspense, a dash of dark humor, and enough character drama to keep things spicy. Now, Aval Peyar Rajni (2023) slips into the mix with a completely different tone. It’s intimate, almost haunting, focusing on the mysterious life of a woman named Rajni. The storytelling? Quiet, deliberate, but it packs a punch. Vadakkan isn’t afraid to poke at uncomfortable truths, mixing raw emotion with a bit of social commentary. All in all, his movies aren’t afraid to get weird or push boundaries—and honestly, that’s what makes them worth watching.
