Watched *Vimanam* directed by Pradeep M Nair, starring PrithviRaj, movie is an inspirational drama about a kid's dream to fly a self built plane. Movie though looks and feels inspirational eventually turns out to be a failed attempt to pack a life's dream into a filmy experience. Direction had all the short comings of a dubutant, but cast masked most of it, but the make up aspect of the film is a big let down where we feel characters age only on their facial and scalp hair rest of the body failed to show any aging, where Prithvi looked physically fit as a 30 yr old even at late 50s with out even a single wrinkle. Lead characters gave a dramatic feel especially the male and female lead with some dramatic dialogues and scenes. Overall the attempt to create an inspirational movie is spoiled by adding filmy elements. *2.5/5*
