Prassthanam

Prassthanam - set in Maleehabad, Prassthanam is a political thriller with some impressive performances. Baldev Pratap Singh (Sanjay Dutt) inherits a political empire more by default as the scion of the family is felled and in the process, has to marry the latter's widow. As the stepfather, he adores his stepson and grooms him to be eligible for being his worthy heir, much to the disappointment of his own son from the marriage who decides to unleash mayhem. Baldev will have to wither the storm of many twists and turns that will test his love, loyalty, leadership and resilience. The lessons we learnt from our holy scriptures are mere ideals, one's actions in reality are guided more by his needs and desires, and the ties of blood are stronger than these ideals.

Remade from a Telugu film of 2010 by the same name, Prassthanam has a sombre and mature performance from Sanjay Dutt, who returns to a role that he has so often done in the past, that of a leader facing the test of time. Ali Fazal is superlative and Jackie Shroff is silent yet strong. The film isn't your average pot boiler although it has some predictable twists in the tale. The product is slick and shiny with an element of suspense kept alive until the very end. It could have been 20 minutes shorter probably that could have rendered Prassthanam to be faster paced and punchy. But director Deva Katta takes the film the whole nine yards, sucking some effectiveness out of it.

If politics interests u, it is an ok watch. Entertains correctly

Well Sanjay Dutt's expressions are so genuine & it was nice to see his powerful punch in this movie! His acting as tough guy surely shows prowess here in this movie. Ali Faisal's acting is top notch also! It was a nice movie to watch. A little over dramatic at times, but hey it's a political thriller - so what do you expect. Exciting was the acting by all of the star ensemble!! Please see it - you won't be disappointed!!

Overall story 6/10 Choice of artists 10/10 Acting level 10/10 Would only recommend if you want to watch some veteran acting skills, Sanju Baba did it really good, Jackie Dada though didn't get much screen time, played his part with at most perfection. Other notable cast includes Ali Fazal, mid movie appearances by Manisha ji and Chunky Pandey. But I also liked the protagonist role played by Satyajeet Dubey. You would seriously want him burn in the hottest hell for the role he portrayed, he did it really good. And of course, the final twist in the story wasn't expected.

One of the most underrated movie and also one of the best Bollywood political drama film. I know its a remake but its a good remake like kabir singh. If you really enjoy political revenge drama and some different storyline so yes this movie is for you.
