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..

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.
Phonagnosia and prosopagnosia, difficult and complicated words for a couple of rare disorders. The first signifies a person who is able to hear but not able to distinguish voices or recognise whose voice it is and the latter is known as face blindness where a person can see but cannot identify a face.
The movie starts with a somber accident that leads the leading man and protagonist to suffer from the above maladies and which form the crux of the story and its continuous complications.
Prasanna Vadanam starts off with a fantastic concept and the viewer can well imagine the confusions that could happen and also the discomfort in life that this kind of malady/disability imposes on the victim.
Suhas does very well in this art and remains suitably confused and bemused throughout the movie aptly catching and highlighting all the critical points in the movie.
The story and the characters are well played by the actors. The story starts and stops on occasions but I liked the overall handling and enjoyed the story, which progresses into a thriller. I watched it on OTT.
One time watch is fine.

Moving has a gripping plot. All the actors performed very well. It would be nice if ending was be explained more clearly. Why is everything reversed? However, this movie deserved to be a hit. It is unfortunate that it didn't work in the theaters.
