You know its the production tying to mess up the ratings - its sad, that this is the new modus operandi now

With Rajiv Khandelwal I was expecting some different kind of story but got disappointed. The story and treatment is of 80s kind of movies. Characters make same mistakes that were done in 80s movies and as audience we pull our hairs. You keep waiting when it ends.

Rajeev Khandelwal's performance in Pranaam deserves to be recognized as one of his finest. His ability to convey emotions through subtle expressions, his restrained yet intense acting, and his complete transformation from an ambitious student to a man caught in a violent world make his performance unforgettable. What sets him apart is his ability to make Ajay's pain feel personal to the audience. His portrayal is so raw and realistic that it becomes impossible not to empathize with him. The way he carries the emotional weight of the film is remarkable, ensuring that Ajay's story stays with the viewer long after the film ends.

The antagonist in Pranaam is not just a single character but a representation of systemic evil. Abhimanyu Singh's character embodies the corruption, greed, and ruthlessness that destroy lives like Ajay's. His performance is chilling, making the audience truly despise him, not just as an individual but as a symbol of the larger forces that keep honest people oppressed. What makes him so terrifying is that he is not an over-the-top villain he is realistic, the kind of person who actually exists in positions of power. His interactions with Ajay are some of the most intense moments in the film, creating a sense of dread that lingers throughout the story.
