Pratikshya

After Daman, #Pratikshya is going to be a massive blockbuster.... I watched this movie in the morning... It was quite a strong content that revolve our ollywood industry.... But I request to all of you to watch this film and to the entire cinema hall of odisha to Make a perfect sedule for it.... Wow music...super direction...great acting... awesome story... blockbuster.... rocking.... inspiring...well made... unbelievable....it was a bang on.. we clapped in the last after the show... slowly but odia industry is growing.. Ollywood should make this type of content.. Ollywood needs suspence thriller movies...

I watched Pratikshya, a Odia movie in Bengaluru today. It was directed by debutant Anupam Patnaik who has arguably created one of the best Odia movies of all time. This is no mean feat considering Odia cinema has a history of 86 years. The screenplay is amazing and the movie has been shot in real-life locations of Bhubaneswar. I didn't find any artificial locations or sets anywhere. The story is extremely relatable to every Odia middle class person. The idiosyncrasies and struggles of an Odia unemployed youth is portrayed realistically. The movie is 2 hours 15 mins long and has only 3 songs. The music is quite refreshing with the use of guitar and unadulterated Odia lyrics. The music directors and singers deserve credit for this. There are no unnecessary songs and the casting is absolutely spot on. Dipanwit shines through brilliantly throughout the film. He has immersed himself into the role so much that audiences are bound to engage with the character. The movie also shows the frustration and pessimism of Odia youth with the corrupt government offices and recruitment system in most government organisations. The general preference for government jobs even at the cost of unemployment for multiple years, a massive social issue in Odisha also comes across in the film.

Choudhary Jayaprakash Das is a theatre veteran and plays the role of the father so effortlessly that it doesn't feel like he is an actor. He seems like every other typical Odia father who is nearing retirement and is worried about his son's unemployment. Barsha Nayak and Siddhant Mahapatra have played their limited roles well.

The movie is currently running at Innovative Multiplex in Bengaluru. The tickets are available on Paytm. It is expected to see greater response from Odias in Bengaluru and elsewhere in India in the coming week. The response so far in Odisha has been quite encouraging. I would urge fellow Odias to watch the movie in theatres in large numbers and support this film. Thanks for reading 🙏

After such a long time, almost when the 'GenZ' lost all hopes on odia movies, ollywood has given the people of Odisha a beautifully directed movie 'Pratikhya'.

It has all those elements in it which a normal person, leading a middle class life, will surely connect.

Well done Team Pratikhya for making this film and giving hopes for ollywood industry.

It is a must watch for everybody of every generation. The characters, the emotions, the songs, the expressions, the lyrics, the direction, the cinematography, everything little thing is just upto the mark.

We will wait for such cinemas in future - Pratikhya !

The movie gives us deep insite about a relationship between a father and the son. The special bond present between them. When their emotion acts as conversation between them. Many times ours emotion are enough to project our love towards our father. They say na "We can not repay the love a father gives us". That's what the movie showcases in a beautiful way. A father till his last breath always thinks good of this son. And when the son realises the his love than everything is gone forever. They can't tell I love you my dear son but there affection is much more towards us. A true emotional movie.

This is a great movie. This movie is describe about a unemployed son and his father. Please support our odia movie industry. It's director Anupam brother doing fantastic job in this movie. The main hero of this movie is Dipanwit. He is a talented hero in our odia movie industry. For him the movie is all time blockbuster. Very good songs are there in this movie. The main plus point of this movie is acting, bgm and presentation. This is a very good movie. Another plus point is all youth can connect with this movie. After Daman movie this is the another super scripted movie in odia language. Thank you.
