Suhas stars in Prasanna Vadanam, a thriller exploring Face Blindness. Here’s our take on the movie.
Story:
Surya (Suhas), a Radio Jockey with Face Blindness, becomes the sole witness to a murder. Despite his condition, he seeks to assist ACP Vaidehi (Rashi Singh) in solving the case. But twists and turns complicate matters, putting Surya in unexpected situations.
Pros:
Suhas delivers a standout performance, portraying the struggles of a character with Face Blindness convincingly.
Rashi Singh’s bold portrayal of a negative role showcases her versatility beyond conventional roles.
Payal Radhakrishna and Harsha Chemudu contribute well, with Nitin Prasanna shining in his role.
The film offers unexpected twists and thrilling moments in the second half.
Cons:
Despite an intriguing premise, Prasanna Vadanam fails to maintain a gripping pace throughout, affecting its overall impact.
Rashi Singh’s character arc lacks depth, with some scenes falling short of expectations.
The romantic subplot feels out of place, and certain flashback sequences seem derivative.
Technical Aspects:
Director Arjun YK shows promise, but a tighter screenplay, especially in maintaining pace, is needed.
Vijai Bulganin’s score and S.Chandrasekaran’s cinematography enhance key scenes, though editing by Karthika Srinivas could be tighter.
Verdict:
Prasanna Vadanam offers an okay thriller experience, with Suhas delivering a strong performance and Rashi Singh impressing in her negative role. While the film has its moments, pacing issues and unnecessary scenes may limit its appeal.
