Our take

Imaginatively using supernatural elements to explore Goan history, Trikal deftly takes us into the emotionally charged period before the region’s annexation to India. Boasting of a brilliant ensemble cast, this political drama gains an ethereal quality with Ashok Mehta’s magnificent camerawork.
