May Movie Madness: Swapna Sanchari in Six Words

Ajaychandran learns that money isn't everything.

Swapna Sanchari ("Dream Traveller", Malayalam, dir. Kamal, 2011)

Starring: Jayaram, Samvrutha Sunil, Innocent, Harisree Ashokan, Salim Kumar, Bhama, Meera Nandan, Balachandran Chullikkadu, Jagathy Sreekumar

Worth Revisiting? Sadly, no. Kamal is a terrific filmmaker, but I think I'd probably recommend films such as Perumazhakkalam or Gaddama (also from 2011) over this one. It's a solidly made family drama, it has a good message about the perils of valuing wealth and status over other things in life, but it's a message I've heard before, and the film brings nothing really new to the table.
