'Crossroad' which is a compilation of 10 films by 10 directors hit screens claiming to be the first of its kind attempt in Malayalam cinema. All the 10 films of the movie focused on womanhood. Padmapriya, Mythali, Mamta Mohandas, Priyanka Nair, Anjali Aneesh, Srinda, Isha Talwar, Manasa Radhakrishnan, Punasseri Kanchana, and Richa Panai essay the lead in each of the segment. All the lead characters, from the different segment of the movie, are women who fight for their way ahead in adversities.
While the first half of the movie which comprises Madhupal's 'Oru Yatrayude Kooli' starring Padmapriya, and Nayana Sooryan's 'Pakshikalude Manam' featuring Mythali among others turns out to be lukewarm, the second half offers the viewer some heart-warming stories.
However, most of the segments either hackneyed or too melodramatic, especially where it comes to dialogues. Worth mentioning are Madhupal's 'Oru Rathriyude Kooli' and debutant director Nayana Suryan's 'Pakshiyude Manam'.
Final Verdict: 'Crossroads' is a movie which is hopelessly lost in the hands of 10 directors. The only saving grace some convincing performances and some picturesque frames.
