Trance could easily be an imagined biopic of a globally popular religious interpreter, with supposed powers to perform magic, while the public before him harnesses the power of the prayer.

Can't recall the last time, or in fact ever, that I've seen a director, in this case, Robert Zemeckis, and more particularly his film, Contact (1997), thanked in the opening credits of a film. That said, can't sense much in common between Contact and Trance (that just dropped on Amazon Prime Video) — by way of an adapted screenplay, if you may.
And there are other films and their directors named as well — such as Anjali Menon, and her Malayalam blockbuster Bangalore Days (2014, on Hotstar), which also featured this film's lead actor, Fahadh Faasil, in a prominent role.
