Traffic is a malayalam film directed by Rajesh R. Pillai. The film stars Kunchako Boban, Rahman, Sreenivasan, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Asif Ali, Anoop Menon, Sandhya, Roma and Remya Nambeesan in the lead roles.
The story happens on a September 16, and is about how a day changes the lives of four people – Siddharth Shankar (Rahman), a superstar, Sudevan (Sreenivasan) a traffic constable; Dr Abel (Kunchacko Boban) and Raihan (Vineeth Sreenivasan), a journalist who is about to join a news channel – whose lives become entangled after a string of strange incidents at a traffic signal. The movie shows how these four individuals from different walks of life meet at a junction after their whole life changed outright for good or bad in just a single day. It depicts the fact that no one has control over the consequences that happen all of a sudden in one’s life. The four individuals learn how to overcome the disorder and confusion that made their life topsy-turvy.
If you are consistently going on saying 'no', then this day will just end like any other day, but if you are ready for a committed yes, then it will be a fervent support from many others to continue with saying 'yes' in similar enterprising situations'- reminds two different characters in two different points of time in this indisputably remarkable film 'Traffic'. After watching this movie, this dialogue line seems to be a reminder for the regulars of Mollywood cinema, who keeps on forgetting the quality stuff and go on to promote the formulaic ,cliched material.Yes, this is high time to say 'yes' to movies like 'Traffic'', that travels through rarer pastures, not often attempted in malayalam cinema.

Arun Kumar's directorial debut Cocktail is a scene-by-scene adaptation of Butterfly on a Wheel; a Canadian thriller directed by Mike Barker in 2007.
Cocktail deserves an applause for the kind of theme that it deals with. Extra marital relationships for the average Malayali film maker is still something unheard of, and the new-age Malayali film viewer exposed to cinema from all across the world must certainly find this weird. For a change, Cocktail makes no attempts to throw a veil over what it tells. Which is really good.
