Prasthanam

I have a major prasthanam hangover. This movie is just awesome. A must watch telugu movie (pretty rare these days).

Story: A very intense and engaging story with a political background. The movie is very long but NEVER a dull moment. The writing is just poetic and out of the world for tollywood. The dialogues are novel and powerful. The major idea of the movie is that there are no heroes (good) and villains (bad) rather its always the struggle between the good and bad within one's self.

Acting: All the major characters played their roles perfectly. Sai kumar was just mind blowing - prefect for the role. All of the scenes involving sharwanand and saikumar were brilliant. sharwanand exceeded expectations. Side characters were not that good being a low budget movie but thats just nitpicking.

Score: The background score was elevating. The score made the already well written scenes much powerful. hats off to mahesh shankar for coming up with such a great score to complement brilliant direction. Music was good. Couple of songs were unnecessary - could be trimmed. But the rest of the songs were nice.

The director (dev katta) maintained good grip over the movie and created a near perfect movie for the budget. Dev katta is a director to watch out. In vennela he made brilliant comedy in the first half, but failed to keep the audience engaged in his character study in the second half. But with prasthanam he hit the bulls eye in his penchant for character studies.

I would say this is a must watch for anyone who likes good real cinema.

At last a Telugu movie which made me gasp and shout out loud, "whatamovie!" In the industry where 6 songs, three fights, some violence and an item number seem to be the yardstick, Deva Katta's "Prasthanam" beats all the rules. Director Deva Katta deleted four songs from the movie as it hampered its narration (ever heard it anywhere folks?) and it shows his dedication to bring out a movie like never before and he succeeds in it. In fact Deva Katta's hard work is written all over the screen, right from the title cards. The narration is top notch, the dialog's brilliant and the screenplay good. Sai Kumar is one of the most underrated actor of the Teulgu industry and he's going to get some fans from this movie. Sarwanand is brilliant and his dialog delivery is excellent but he needs to work on the emotional scenes though! This is mostly a dialog driven movie and a very serious one too. The movie ends at the right time and the last scene is simply brilliant. The humor department handled by Jayaprakash Reddy is awesome, on the whole it's one movie after a long time made out of sheer dedication and with love towards the language (the English usage is minimal and the Telugu used is top class). A perfect ten and a Telugu movie classic.

almost after ten years we get a very good movie laced with beautiful dialogues.. we often get boring moments in telugu movies when it comes to songs or fights, but this movie is a real winner.. of the two songs in the movie both are too gud.. specially evade vaadu.. watta performance by sundeep kishan .. this guy can make wonders in telugu where we lack a proper telugu speaking villain.. every actor is outstanding coming to their part specially saikumar.. but director cum writer of the movie deserves a spl appreciation.. if he doesn't get a award for this movie something is definitely wrong with the judges.. i don't understand the reason why the movie still running in very less theatres where other meaningless masala movies are running in many theatres though they lack the point.. lastly the movie is a very attempt in telugu industry specially aimed at educated segment of people.. hope the movie gains good money, name & fame..

Actor Sai Kumar kudos to him i have never seen an acting performance like him. He is most underated actor and his performance in climax is just spellbounding.

I have watched several movies in several languages but i have never seen a movie like this, this movie is one of my favorites. The screenplay, story narration and especially dialogues each and everything is good, only thing i disliked in this movie is songs they are worst. Please skip all the songs while you are watching this movie 😁.

Coming to story deva katta got inspiration from vyasa Mahabharatam, family fued between brothers which end up in killing several people in kurukshetra war. He took the storyline from Mahabharatam and redesigned to it to suit to modern era. Take a bow man you are genuis, you deserve respect.

Please do watch this movie it is worth your time.

A riveting story depecting various emotions in a human. An absolute masterclass by devakata . Its a must watch for sure . The acting is just stupendous by everybody especially the 3s,the trio of Saikumar, Sharwanand & Sundeep kishan. Its an extraordinary drama with gripping and hardhitting dialogues. DO WATCH IT!!
