The medium-budget film Purushaha managed to grab the audience’s attention with its intriguing promotional content and unique concept. Featuring Pavan Kalyan Battula in the lead role, the film also stars Saptagiri and Rajkumar Kasi Reddy in prominent roles. Directed by Veeru Vulavala, Purushaha is all set for its theatrical release on May 22 . Here’s our review of Purushaha.
Story:
Three childhood friends, portrayed by Pavan Kalyan Battula, Saptagiri, and Rajkumar Kasi Reddy, find themselves caught in troubled marriages as their respective wives — played by Rayanchu, Hassini Sudhir, and Vasuki — decide to seek divorce through the family court.
Will the court finally grant them separation? What exactly pushed the three women to take such a drastic decision against their husbands? And what role does “Kiss,” played by Vennela Kishore, play in the lives of these couples? The answers unfold through a series of emotional and entertaining moments that form the crux of Purushaha. To discover the real reasons behind the marital conflicts and the twists that follow, the film has to be experienced on the big screen.
Plus points:
Pavan Kalyan Battula delivers a decent performance in the lead role and handles the emotional family-oriented scenes with sincerity. Though he shows promise in several important moments, he still has room to improve, especially in terms of expressions and emotional depth, which could help him evolve further as an actor in his upcoming films.
Rajkumar Kasi Reddy and Saptagiri bring good entertainment value to the film with their comedy-driven performances and timing. Senior actors Rajiv Kanakala and V. T. Ganesh perform their supporting roles effectively and add strength to the narrative.
Among the female cast, Rayanchu looks charming on screen and performs her emotionally layered character convincingly. Hassini Sudhir and Vasuki also deliver respectable performances as women dealing with troubled marital lives.
Vennela Kishore is adequate in his comic role and provides a few entertaining moments. Actress Sandhya, despite having limited screen presence, performs her part neatly.
Minus points:
Director-writer Veeru Vulavala handled both writing and direction quite effectively, showcasing a commendable effort in balancing multiple responsibilities. The core idea of the film is presented impressively, and the execution works well for the most part. However, the screenplay during the initial portions could have been more engaging and fast-paced to create a stronger impact.
Since the story revolves around the marriage backdrop, incorporating more contemporary situations and relatable moments would have added greater authenticity to the narrative. The major strength of the film lies in its flashback episodes, which are executed beautifully and portrayed with impressive emotional depth and visual appeal.
Technical Aspects:
Music director Shravan Bharadwaj delivers an impressive soundtrack, successfully catering to different moods with a balanced mix of energetic mass tracks and soothing melody numbers. His compositions add decent support to the film’s overall atmosphere.
Cinematographer Satish Muthyala has done a neat job by presenting the film with visually appealing and rich frames throughout. Editor Koti deserves appreciation for maintaining a crisp runtime and ensuring the narrative moves at a steady pace. Producer Battula Koteshwar Rao has backed the project with respectable production values, which are visible on screen.
Verdict:
In an overview, Purushaha is a serious drama between husband and wife but it’s treatment is so refreshing and leaves the audience in a entertainer mood during the weekend.
