Young actor Suhas returns with “Prasanna Vadanam,” a tale of intrigue and mystery. How does it fare? Let’s find out.

Story:

Surya (Suhas), a Radio Jockey with Prosopagnosia (Face Blindness), finds himself as the lone witness to a murder. Despite his condition, he tries to aid ACP Vaidehi (Rashi Singh) in solving the case. But twists and turns complicate matters, revealing deeper mysteries.

Highlights:

Solid performances by Payal Radhakrishna, Harsha Chemudu, and Nitin Prasanna enhance the film’s appeal.

The film offers unexpected twists and thrilling moments, especially in the second half.

Drawbacks:

Character arcs, especially Rashi Singh’s, lack depth and development, hampering the overall impact.

The romantic subplot feels out of place in a thriller, and certain scenes seem derivative.

Technical Aspects:

Director Arjun YK shows promise but needs to tighten the screenplay for better pacing.

Vijai Bulganin’s score enhances key moments, supported by satisfactory cinematography and editing.

Verdict:

“Prasanna Vadanam” offers a decent thriller experience, anchored by Suhas’s performance and Rashi Singh’s portrayal. While it has its moments, pacing issues and unnecessary scenes limit its appeal.
