Achleshwar Film’s Trahimam (UA) is the usual good-versus-evil story. Champa (Arshi Khan), wife of Ballu (Sohit Soni), is raped by several people. SP Arya Thakur (Kavita Tripathi) is transferred to the police station to probe the rape case and other cases. Does she succeed?
Salman has written a story but it seems as if he doesn’t know the basics of story writing. He has included everything possible in the story — rape, betrayal, evil politician, police-politician nexus, etc. but all this in such a slipshod manner that nothing appeals. His story and screenplay are both full of clichéd scenes. Logic is thrown to the winds, and convenience becomes the catchword for the script. The drama is so devoid of common sense that the audience simply loses interest in the half-baked proceedings. Even his dialogues are below-average.
Sohit Soni is so-so as Ballu. Arshi Khan hardly impresses in the role of Champa. Pankaj Berry does a good job as MLA Veer Pratap Rana. Ramit Thakur is okay as the MLA’s nephew, Raghav. Kavita Tripathi does a fair job as SP Arya Thakur. Mushtaq Khan (as Brijesh) and Adi Irani (as Anand Singh) lend routine support. Shambhu Tiwari (as Rameshwar Chaudhari), Naren Prajapati (as Bhika), Manoj Bhatia (as police inspector Satyaprakash), Anurag Singh (in the role of police inspector Yadav), Ekta Jain (as the lawyer) and Raju Kher (as the DIG of police) provide ordinary support.
Dushyant Pratap Singh’s direction is terrible. The film just doesn’t create any impact whatsoever on the viewers. Piyush Ranjan’s music is dull. Manish Muradiya’s lyrics are functional. Chotu Lohar’s choreography is extremely poor. Camerawork (by Suhas Rao) hardly deserves separate mention. Editing (by Sunil Yadav and Arun Yadav) leaves a lot to be desired.
On the whole, Trahimam is a flop show right from the word ‘go’.
Released on 16-12-’22 at Movie Time Goregaon (daily 1 show) of Bombay thru Jai Viratra Entertainment Ltd. Publicity & opening: horrifyingly poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was terrible everywhere.
