Suhas stars in Prasanna Vadanam, a thriller exploring the challenges of Face Blindness. Let’s dive into the review to see how this intriguing concept unfolds.
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, effectively portraying the struggles of a character with Face Blindness.
Rashi Singh’s portrayal of a negative character adds depth to the narrative, showcasing her versatility.
Supporting actors like Payal Radhakrishna, Harsha Chemudu, and Nitin Prasanna contribute well to the story.
The film offers unexpected twists and thrills, particularly in the second half.
Cons:
The pacing falters at times, affecting the overall impact of the film. A tighter screenplay would have enhanced the viewing experience.
Certain character arcs, especially Rashi Singh’s, lack depth and development, leaving room for improvement.
The romantic subplot feels out of place, and flashback sequences seem derived from other Telugu films, detracting from the originality of the story.
Technical Aspects:
Director Arjun YK shows promise but needs to refine the screenplay for a more engaging narrative.
Vijai Bulganin’s score and S Chandrasekaran’s cinematography enhance key scenes, though editing by Karthika Srinivas could be tighter. The production values are decent, but a shorter runtime would have benefited the pacing.
Verdict:
Prasanna Vadanam offers a decent 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 hinder its potential.
