Misery at its peak!!! First things first. I feel cheated and I demand a reimbursement of my admission fee. Well, thats nigh impossible so I need to vent my frustration that arises out of the fact that this half-baked plot has given me the most terrible of headaches.
A bunch of dimwit creators coupled with an equally misfit cast of actors just don't a movie make. Only to let other users know what the movie is about, I'd be happy to tell them that it takes place at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Oh yes! Two full hours of glorified airport tourism masquerading as a movie. And its nothing like 'The Terminal' (think Tom Hanks) either, for the still optimistic bunch. Having earlier liked the previous movies from their stables viz. 'Aithe' and 'Anukokunda Oka Roju', I had high expectations but Prayanam falls so flat on its face, it breaks its nose and even manages to crush its cheekbones. probable brain haemorrhage to boost too.
The movie is an absolute no-brainer. The plot is so adorned with pot-holes one could mistake it for a mining site. All this probably arises from the fact that telugu or for that matter Indian movie audiences have been so battered with mindless cinema that the producers/directors take them to be the brainless morons who'd appreciate all they throw at them. I believe they are not too far from the truth either. To find a cinema full of people laughing at those silly jokes only goes to prove the point.
The one thing I hate more than air travel is spending time in an air terminal and having to watch one for 2 long hours only worsens it. The plot is wafer thin for all those curious minds out there. The 'hero' (if he can be called that) falls in love with the lead actress when he is blowing a feather across the length of the terminal and his earphones mysteriously get stuck in the actress's something or the other. Sounds moronic? Its even worse on-screen if you trust me. And how he tries to impress her forms the rest of the movie. All inside the terminal. Mind you he has to go through a 8-step agenda as advised by his best friend who is a human psychology student (I think!!! It doesn't even matter anymore). The lead actor just gets on your nerves. probably the actress' nerves too. Anyone in her position would render him with a tight slap, if not more. But I guess she doesn't do so owing to exterior circumstances. I wouldn't blame her. And not to mention the opening sequence where those plonkers attempt to scale a bridge for a bet to race-to-the-top. Idiotic. The few technical brilliances there might be just get lost among the miserable sequences thus rendering them null and void. The editing, screenplay and direction leave a lot to be desired.
My only advice to you all is don't waste your money on something as cheap as this. You'd rather watch something else on the idiot box at home than go through the agony of sitting through a movie made and acted by imbeciles.
