Story

Rathnakara
(Dhananjay)
is
a
middle-class
employee
living
with
his
mother
in
Bengaluru.
He
is
frustrated
with
the
childish
behaviour
of
his
mother
Saroja
(Umashree).
One
fine
day,
he
meets
Mayuri
(Reba
Monica
John),
an
aspiring
research
journalist,
who
tells
him
about
the
truth
of
his
birth.
What
happens
to
Rathnakara’s
life
post
their
shocking
conversation
and
how
Tabassum,
Udaal
Babu
Rao
and
Yellavva
are

Performances

Dhananjay
invents
a
new
persona
for
himself
with
this
film.
He
looks
very
natural,
extremely
confident
and
plays
it
to
perfection.
Pramod
Manju
shows
fineness
in
his
acting
and
body
language.
He
is
equally
authoritative
in
both
emotional
episodes
and
causal
scenes.
His
north
Karnataka
dialect
is
mainly
highlighted,
and
he
is
surely
going
to
have
a
better
career
in
Sandalwood
if
he
chooses
scripts
carefully.
Veteran
actress,
Umashree
has
made
a
strong
comeback
with
another
fabulous
performance.
Her
character
will
haunt
you
even
when
the
film

an
asset
to

movie

an
excellent
job

few
scenes

second
half.

her
part
convincingly.

Prabhakar,
Ravishankar
Gowda,

Story,
Screenplay
and
Direction

Rohit
Padaki
has
come
up
with
an
intense
emotional
travel
drama.
What
makes
this
film
interesting
is
its
screenplay.
The
screenplay
is
written
in
such
a
way
that
the
tempo
and
curiosity
are
maintained
till
last.
There
is
an
interesting
twist
towards
the
interval
which
will
make
you
curious
about
the
climax.
The
plot
of
the
film
is
simple,
But
the
film’s
characterizations
and
writing
make
a
big
difference.
Each
character
is
very
well
established
and
has
an
introduction,
an
arc
and
a
proper
finishing
(even
for
small
characters
like
Biradar).
Plus
points
are
characterizations,
dialogues,
dialect
and
the
subject.

Technical
Aspects

Camerawork
by
Shreesha
Kuduvalli
is
pretty
good.
The
production
design
is
decent.
Dialogues
written
by
the
director
Rohit
Padaki
are
excellent
and
have
a
depth
to
it.
Deepu
S
Kumar’s
editing
is
neat.
B
Ajaneesh
Loknath’s
songs
and
background
score
are
top-notch.

Verdict

On
a
whole,

Rathnan
Prapancha
has
something
that
connects
to
everybody
and
ends
up
with
an
intense
and
emotional
climax.
It’s
a
must-watch
dramedy.
