Prassthanam

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

Everyone is praising Ali Fazal and Sanjay Dutt, but one can expect good performances from them. The real surprise was the guy who played Vivaan! This is the first time I saw him in a movie but I remembered him from Pizza Hut ads. He was really convincing as a gullible power hungry and envious kid. Cut the unnecessary 20 mins from the second half and you have a solid movie

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.

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.

Prassthanam is director Deva Katta's adaptation of his 2010 Telugu directorial with the same name. The story revolves around MLA Baldev Pratap Singh (Sanjay S Dutt) and the complex relationships within his family.

There isn't much novelty in the story itself, the director and screenplay writer Deva Katta creates quite a few twists to keep you engaged.

Prassthanam manages to hold your interest in parts due to its fast paced developments. But it also suffers from unwanted songs and just too many conflicts, happening all at once.

Sanjay Dutt gives a genuinely good performance., sanjay dutt's fans will love his role.👍

PRASSTHANAM = some great performances and a fine first half. But the ending of the movie is dull..!!😔
