Technical Analysis:

The debutant director Arjun YK shows potential but the screenplay needs to be more focused and fast-paced to improve. Vijay Bulganin’s score enhances important scenes accompanied by satisfactory cinematography by S. Chandrasekaran and editing by Karthika Srinivas. The production values are decent but a shorter runtime would have made the viewing experience better.

Plus Points:

• Suhas delivers a standout performance portraying a character dealing with Face Blindness.
• Actress Rashi impresses with her bold decision to take on a negative role showcasing her versatility.
• Satisfactory performances from Payal Radhakrishna and Harsha Chemudu with Nitin Prasanna shining in his role.
• Supporting actors leave a mark with their performances.
• Unexpected interval twist and thrilling moments in the second half add to the film’s appeal.

Minus Points:

• Prasanna Vadanam struggles to maintain a gripping pace, despite its intriguing premise.
• Lack of focus in the screenplay, particularly in the second half, diminishes the film’s impact.
• Rashi Singh’s character arc could have been better developed, with some key scenes lacking depth.
• The romantic subplot feels out of place in a movie aiming for a serious tone.

Verdict: Overall, the movie Prasanna Vadanam offers a satisfactory experience as a thriller, with Suhas delivering a decent performance and Rashi Singh impressing in her negative role. While some of the plot twists are worth the price of admission, the film suffers from pacing issues and unnecessary scenes that may limit its overall appeal.
