Story
Sreenu (Nara Rohit) is a common man and a
responsible citizen who strictly abides rules. He kidnaps Sambashiva
Rao (Kota Srinivasa Rao), state Chief Minister on a purpose and the news
soon go viral in the country. Police Commissioner (Posani Krishna
Murali) and Home Minister (Jayaprakash) with the team arrives to the
place finally but gets shocked with kidnappers demands. Who is this
Sreenu? What are his demands and why does he kidnap CM forms the crux.
Performances
Nara Rohit delivers a
good performance and he carries the intensity of Parthinidhi role quite
well. However, he could have worked more on mannerisms in the casual
young guy role.
Shubra Aiyappa has a very limited role and she is okay. She looked good.
Kota Srinivasa Rao has a
good screen time along with Nara Rohit and he is an asset for the
movie. He is apt for the role as CM and as usual he rocked the timing.
Jaya Prakash Reddy is commendable. Posani does a good job, Vishnuvardhan
does his act well, Ranganath is impressive. Others were okay.
Technical Analysis
Sai Karthik’s musical scores are decent
and Vaishnavo Janato is good. Background score is impressive and
elevating. Cinematography is neat while editing is crisp. Dialogues by
Anand Ravi are an asset for the film. Prashanth Mandava’s direction
could have been better though as first timer his attempt is commendable.
Sudha Cinemas and J Sambasiva Rao’s production values are just okay.
Analysis
Prathinidhi is a political genre film
and it has a promising concept. The first half of the film moves at good
pace with impressive dialogues though there are few illogical scenes
like CM who is provided Zplus security being kidnapped such easily and
police department not tracking sooner. The second half is convincing but
dragging at times.
Few scenes could have made realistic though but the movie has some bold
yet interesting scenes which are handled quite well by debutant director
Prashanth Mandava. He is successful in keeping the curiosity factor
till the end. The kidnapper’s demands in releasing CM are interesting
and strikes the chords. Nara Rohit, Kota Srinivasa Rao delivers
impressive performances.
Prathinidhi is made with good intention and the filmmakers made an
honest and appreciable attempt despite few flaws.
Final Verdict
Prathinidhi- An appreciable attempt & a decent watch!!!
