If you think that Sarvanand is the hero then you didn't understand the movie
This is the movie that has been close to reality than any other Telugu movie ever made.Saikumar was outstanding in his role. Devakatta is an awesome find. Hopes he makes films that are close to realty and stay away from the commercial Zhit. Dialogues are awesome and will touch you deeply. Climax is the one of the best in Telugu movies.
Sarvanand and Sandeep Kishan has done a decent job.The romantic scenes are unnecessary and will side track the movie.That's the only negative.
Hope they will be more movie like this where the HERO is not a super human that beat the Zhit of villains.
Overall an awesome movie and a must watch for all movie lovers

A Must Watch....
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.

Prasthanam::
For a movie to have a feel good feeling with the audience, I believe the script and screenplay play a big role. There have been many films in the recent past, though not having a tight story line have fared well and people have liked them. But I would say that PRASTHANAM is not such a kind of movie. An intense movie with a very tight screenplay and exceptionally good script. By far, Prasthanam would be setting a new trend. I have always admired directors who work hard for their screenplay rather than depending on the starcast. Deva Katta has come out with an extraordinary film extracting the actors potential to their maximum.
The strength of the movie lies in its simple nature and its striking resemblance with our normal life. The hero and the characters are not supernatural beating down 10-12 goons with a push of his hand or doing extraordinary feats. I have to admit I have seen many people in my real life portraying the differt shades showed in the film. Dialogues by Devi Katta were were intense and emotionally provoking. It is for such films people await for. I definitely feel this film should be watched by everyone..:)

NOBODY IS BLACK OR WHITE !!
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!!
Must see,worth for money and time.
No words to say...Really Dev Katta'S direction was wonderful.Sharvand will now get the respect he deserves for this colossal performance. The supporting cast,most notably Saikumar,Jaya Prakash Reddy,Jeeva,Sandeep,buoy the film to new perspectives.Yash Bhatt's camera work within these completed sequences takes a modern twist that really works for the gruesome scenes."A man reaps what he sows" is my favourite line from the movie. Sandeep,Sharwand,Saikumar gave there best performance.To be frank first i also felt that basic line of the movie is taken from Sarkar but i was wrong. Dialouge are the big asset for the movie.don't miss it.This film is a must see. I am proud this is movie is from Tollywood.Many of the good things from that script are also presented here in diverse and creative ways.
