Watch Season For Free
Season
Season is a 1989 Malayalam-language Indian feature film directed Padmarajan, starring Mohanlal and Gavin Packard in lead roles. The film, though a failure at the box office, stands apart because of Padmarajan's story-telling style, unconventional plot and characters, realistic portrayal of drug trade in Kovalam and flawless performance of Mohanlal and is considered now as a cult classic. The story is set in the beautiful locales of Kovalam beach in Kerala and Poojappura Central Prison, Trivandrum. In spite of the film's commercial failure at the time, Season is now considered to be amongst the best revenge thriller classics ever made in Malayalam and Mohanlal's performance in the movie stands apart because of his unconventional style of acting in such a complex plot. The film also showed how narration can be used as a strong tool in storytelling. Many feel that this movie was much ahead of time and if it would have released in late nineties, would have done good business.

not horrible nor great
good back-story, and good acting
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
I recently watched this movie .. i feel good to see this movie. i can say this is one the standard malalayam movie
Recently saw "Season" by P Padmarajan.This movie has a very engaging plot but at the same time Pappettan has blended in various emotions into the movie fabric making it richer and much more fulsome.Just the plot can give the CBI movies a run for the money.Set in the background of drug trading in Kovalam beach , the protagonist(Lal) helps two unemployeds with a shady deal with a foreigner.The lure for money gets the mean foreigner to kill both of them.Lal is arrested.The plot that Lal weaves is not an immature emotional one / a shallow revenge thirst.For Lal , the primary interest is rightly directed to the families of the lost accomplices.Lal, who was arrested for the two murders promises to help the foreigner escape(He has landed in the same jail) in return for money.This money is later used to help the families.There is lot of meat in the movie for the viewer.This is a clear case where screenplay plays much much more of a role than direction.
