The story of “Pratichaya”.
‘Prathichaya’ is a Malayalam political thriller film directed by Unnikrishnan B.
The novel’s events revolve around a major political crisis at the highest level of the state’s leadership.The film features Nivin Pauly in the lead role. Sharaf U Din and Balachandra Menon play important supporting roles.ETimes’ review of the film reads: “While in the hands of another actor, John might have been a more formidable character, but Nivin underplays his role, and the film is better for him. Otherwise the issues that Prathecharya was looking at would have been lost in the raucous dialogues and twirling moustache. His acting instincts once again show that he knows how to shine in a heroic role, as well as he does in an emotional role or a great comedy part.”
Sharaf El-Din also plays it wonderfully and complements Nevin’s atmosphere.”
