Prasanna Vadanam has a few glimmers of a good idea, and parts of the story do catch your interest. The screenplay kicks off strong and wraps up nicely in the climax, but everything in between is pretty hit or miss. As for the acting, let's just say Suhas sticks to his usual playbook-nothing new there.
The music? Not exactly earworm material, and the production values don't do much to lift the spirits either.
All in all, it might be a pass on catching this one in theaters. Save it for a no-fuss, low-expectation kind of movie night at home, if at all.
I have to write 40 more characters to complete..

Surya meets with an accident while driving which results in him losing his parents with his friend injured. Surya's injury is severe, causing permanent damage where he is diagnosed with prosopagnosia and phonagnosia. He cannot recognize the people's faces neither can he recognize their voice. Years later, he is working as an RJ and trying to lead a normal life with the help of his friend Vignesh. Surya witnesses a murder and despite Vignesh's warning, anonymously tips the police about the murder. What problem does he get into and how does he get out of the mess, in his condition, forms rest of the story.
The USP of the story is the medical condition the hero character has and that alone gets the brownie points. Suhas is known for trying out unique scripts, forming a trust among audience and he doesn't disappoint. However, the screenplay is not without flaws and even logic goes for a toss, this is solely due to the attempt in presenting the film as commercially viable as possible. The love track is less impactful and acts as a speedbreaker. Though the interval reveal is solid, the villain characterization suffers from routine treatment. But there were few impressive scenes and the climax fight must be lauded in the way it is executed. If the villain track was handled better, it would have been a memorable entertainer. I am going with a lenient rating for the effort.

The hero, an RJ, has a medical condition termed "prosopagnosia" that causes him to have trouble recognizing people's faces, but his memory is intact. He sees a murder happen one night, but because of his condition, he is unable to recognize the perpetrator. He approaches the ACP with the facts, but his life is now in jeopardy. Telugu film #PrasannaVadanam deals with a unique subject and keeps you involved in the proceedings. Young actor Suhas plays the lead role and he is amazing. Without a doubt, he merits additional big-screen viewings. Rashi Singh portrays a villainous figure and she does it with aplomb. Running time needs to be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.
