Prathinidhi Review
What is “Prathinidhi” about?
A common man fantasy where he wants to question the Chief Minister and even the people too, to bring change in them. Why would he do all that and how he does all that form the other sub plots of the film.

How is Nara Rohit’s performance?
Nara Rohit’s biggest asset is that he can say dialogues properly with clear diction. His smooth diction makes up for the weak voice and even the lack of expressions too. Here is Pratinidhi the character seems to be tailred around his strengths as all he has to do through out the film is simply utter the dialogues given to him with precision and he does it with ease but he fails at the same time when he has to give a certain intensity through dialogues.


Prathinidhi Review
Direction by Prashanth Mandava?
Direction by debutant Prasanth Mandava is competent. The biggest asset of the film is the screenplay, it engages the audiences for most part with decent twists and turns that are defeinitely not predictable. Even though the basic story is a beaten to death one he manages to hook the audience with this screenplay. There are also no big dull moments as the film keeps on moving relentlessly for most part expect during the second hour where it slows down a bit. Overall Pratinidhi and its director can be put easily among some of the better debuts in recent times.


Prathinidhi Review
Other artists performance?
There are very few characters apart from the hero. Kota Srinivas Rao playing the Chief Minister is very dignified and apt for the role. Posani Krishnamurali once again gets a center stage role that is at the heart of the movie. It moves the film forward and also provides entertainment at the same time. Heroine Subrah Aiyappa has very little to do and fails to register completely since there are no songs to get her highllighted too. Jayaprakash Reddy is fine as usual. Sree Vishnu gets a decent role and he is fine where he gets the scope, especially in the second week. He could have done much better though.


Prathinidhi ReviewMusic and other departments?
There is nothing much top write about in terms of music by Sai Karthik. The background music is loud mostly and hence it registers. Editing is jerky mostly, the film could have done well with better editing for sure. Cinematography is inconsistent.

Prathinidhi Review
What about the box office performance of the film?
The film has what it takes to shine at the box office. The film has however released after a long time with literally no buzz. But the makers couldn’t have asked for a better time to release the film in hindsight. The positive buzz on the film should help it find foot at the box office and become a decent success in the coming days.

Did I enjoy it?
Yes.

Will you recommend it?
Yes.
