A new film titled “Pareshan” has made its debut in theaters today. The movie stars Thiruveer as the lead character, with Rana Daggubati as the presenter and Rupak Ronaldson as the director. Let’s delve into its review.
Plot:
“Issac” (played by Thiruveer), along with his friends Paasha, Satthi, RGV, and Maidak, lead carefree lives in the Singareni area, indulging in alcohol regardless of circumstances. When Satthi and Paasha find themselves in financial trouble, Issac loans them money from his father. Meanwhile, Issac, deeply in love with Sirisha (portrayed by Pavani Karanam), faces unexpected consequences after a physical encounter with her. Mistaking a pregnancy scare for reality, Issac promises to arrange funds for an abortion, assuming his friends will reimburse him. However, they betray his trust, leading to a series of challenges for Issac.
Positives:
“Pareshan” aligns with the growing trend of films celebrating Telangana culture. It authentically portrays the essence of the region, resonating well with the local audience. The songs are well-crafted and complement the narrative effectively.
The first half entertains with its humor, particularly in the comedic sequences and the romance between Thiruveer and Pavani Karanam. Thiruveer’s portrayal of Issac stands out, with impeccable comic timing, expressive performance, and support from co-stars Bunny Abiran and Arjun Krishna.
Negatives:
The film suffers from a thin plot, evident in the second half’s lack of substance. While the first half manages to sustain interest with comedy, the latter part struggles due to a dearth of fresh ideas. Forced humor, such as the awkward attempt to turn a character’s injury into comedy, falls flat.
The pacing slows down considerably in the second half, exacerbated by excessive length and inadequate emotional depth. The focus on generating laughs sidelines the need for a balanced blend of humor and sentimentality.
Technical Aspects:
Yashwanth Nag’s music and background score elevate the film, contributing significantly to its appeal. Vasu Pendem’s cinematography effectively captures the rustic charm of the countryside. However, the editing could have been tighter to enhance the overall experience.
Director Rupak Ronaldson delivers a passable effort, prioritizing comedy over plot development and emotional resonance. A more nuanced approach to the second half could have improved the final output significantly.
Verdict:
“Pareshan” offers moments of amusement amidst its shortcomings. While Thiruveer and the ensemble cast deliver commendable performances, the film is let down by its weak storyline and uneven pacing, particularly in the latter half. Despite some enjoyable comedic sequences, it fails to leave a lasting impression.
