Prasthaanam starring Sarvanand, Saikumar and Sandeep is impressive political drama by director Deva (Vennela ifame) and takes lot of potshots at contemporary political happenings through the intrigues within one political family. It is well shot and carries your interest largely with some wonderful satire in the first half courtesy Jayaprakash Reddy and Jeeva. But the ending is predictable and violence stark and dark. Censor cuts mar forty per cent of dialogues yet enough punches are pulled off. If Star Power was higher, the movie would have sizzled at the BO. Yet, newcomer Sandeep and Saikumar and Sarvanand perform with aplomb and ease. Music by Mahesh Shankar is loud and its a pity one of the only melody songs is edited out to make the movie more serious in the second half.
