        Movie Review - Careful

Careful hosts a promising idea that is mostly lost in execution , and comes across as a hurriedly scripted didactic film on traffic rules. There is a moment in this movie that you push back on a seat that refuses to budge any further , and recline jadedly, wondering that it is a prompts a film maker as VK Prakash to come up with a remake fiasco as the one playing out on the screen. This certainly is not a instructive cinema at its best , and tries albeit a bit hard, to deliver a message that ends up all over the place.An increasing incidence of road accidents draws Rachana 's attention to busy road in Cochin, where motorists have been known to repeatedly defy traffic rules. The film is replete with instances galore where you are flooded with a hundred questions, none of which are offered straight answers. It is wonder that how a journalist of all persons, is subjected to the kind of torture that she is made to endure in the hands of the cops. This movie brings in a supernatural element into the story. Vijay Babu with a sturdy performance stands apart in this fim. The very last scene in this film is probably the best scene. Though it takes quite a while to reach there, after the climax that had gotten over, several minutes back. It is this scene that leaves behind a thought that is poignant , such a cry from the several others that had preceded it.
