‘Pranaya Vilasam’ movie review: juggling time frames to shape up a pleasant take on lost love and understanding in relationships – The Hindu

The film’s title doesn’t flash throughout the display till the midway level. The name-board of a home the place the principal characters stay morphs into that title, marking a second of revelation a couple of character and breaking everybody’s assumption of that particular person until that time. Even the film’s trailer is an try at tricking us into assuming it to be a really completely different form of movie than it truly is.

The gang of Anaswara Rajan, Arjun Ashokan, and Mamitha Baiju, whom we noticed not too long ago within the campus movie Tremendous Sharanya, comes collectively once more however the campus tales set in two completely different time intervals are solely part of the story.

On the coronary heart of Nikhil Murali’s debut movie is a household the place the three members hardly perceive one another. Rajeevan (Manoj Ok.U.), the daddy, a tough-on-the-exterior village officer in addition to the son Suraj (Arjun Ashokan) are misplaced in their very own worlds and do not need a lot time to spare for the mom Anusree, who’s immersed in family chores. Suraj and Rajeevan are additionally not on speaking phrases, with the son nursing the damage of being prevented from pursuing his dream of changing into a musician.

An sudden jolt results in the daddy and son taking a street journey collectively, in a journey to the previous that kinds the film’s spine. It’s a journey for them to grasp the price of the lady, whom they didn’t pay sufficient consideration to. The script is uneven when it travels between the time intervals, similar to Shaan Rahman’s background rating, which may be very a lot within the current but nearly overbearing previously.

However the most effective written elements are the exchanges between the daddy and the son, which vary from outright humorous to poignant. It’s maybe rivalled solely by the quick however memorable position that Hakkim Shah will get. Within the time that he has on display, he will get to play a brash youth and a middle-aged man, whose face is a peaceful ocean of suppressed feelings and life-long ache. Manoj Ok.U., who aced the position as the daddy in Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, performs a father of a distinct variety right here and betters his earlier efficiency.

The love story previously, in addition to the connection between Suraj and his girlfriend, are considerably unexpectedly written. But, the film nonetheless manages to painting the ache and nostalgia of misplaced love by its different better-written elements. The scriptwriters have been cautious to by no means let issues get too severe or emotional moments linger too lengthy, at all times breaking it with some humour. To their credit score, it infrequently seems jarring. The background of political violence that’s introduced into the story appears extra like an addition, which was made contemplating the truth that it was happening in Kannur.

In the long run, the marginally deceptive trailers seem to have labored in Pranaya Vilasam’s favour, stunning the viewers a bit with a reasonably entertaining tackle misplaced love and the necessity for understanding in relationships.
