Thiruveer who scored a hit with Masooda is coming with a different genre entertainer Pareshan. Rupak Ronaldson of Kobbari Matt fame is directing the film. The film is attracting the attention of all as Hot Hunk Rana got associated with the project. The film is releasing on 2 June 2023. The film's OTT rights are bagged by Sony LIV and streaming will be after the end of its theatrical run. Let us find out what Pareshan offered to movie lovers.
Pareshan story is all about five friends and how they faced and dealt with their problems. Issac (Thiruveer), Pasha (Bunny Abiran), Satti (Arjun Krishna), RGV (Buddera Khan Ravi), and Mydhak(Raju Bedigala) are thick friends and go to any extent to help each other. But this results in a drastic change in their lives. To find out those changes how Sirisha (Pavani Karanam), Rajitha (Sai Prasanna), and Tiger Srinu (Anji Babu), watch Pareshan on the silver screen.
Thiruveer played a completely different role in his film after scoring a hit with Masooda. Thiruveer lived in the character and he came up with a natural and realistic performance. Pavani Karanam who played the role of Thiruveer's love interest looked good on screen and complimented Thiruveer quite aptly.
Muralidhar Goud as the father of Thiruveer is realistic with his performance. Arjun Krishna, Buddera Khan Ravi, Raju Bedigala, Bunny Abiran played the roles of Thiruveer's friends. They performed well and the scenes featuring them came quite well. Most of the scenes featuring them are not only emotionally laced but also filled with humor.
Pareshan story readied by Rupak Ronaldson showed the lives of five friends and how their lives progressed, the problems faced by them, and how they overcame them. Rupak Ronaldson's story is nothing new but highlighted the Telangana culture. Right from the start till the finish, Rupak Ronaldson concentrated only on creating a laughing riot with the story in the backdrop of the Telangana rural region. Be it sentiment, comedy, and quarrels, he paid more attention to entertaining viewers.
His screenplay and direction followed the same pattern. However, in the process, he ended up repeating many scenes and this increased the routine flavor. Few scenes are dragged and the slow pace impacted the film's output. Dialogues penned by Anil Achugatla reflected the Telangana slang and highlighted them to the core. The culture is shown throughout the film and the mass elements entertain all.
Music tuned by Yashwant Nag is situational and all the songs are tuned in Telangana folk tunes and mass beats to delight all the people and turn them crazy. His background music is in sync with the storyline. The editing of Rupak Ronaldson, and Harishankar Tammirana could have been better throughout the film. The production values of Waltair Productions are good.
Altogether, Pareshan is a comic flick in Telangana's backdrop. Rupak Ronaldson showed Thiruveer in a completely different avatar in the film. While Rupak Ronaldson managed to create a few laughs in the film thanks to the dialogues and Telangana accent involved in it, the weak story undid his good work. The screenplay and direction are just ok. Rupak Ronaldson filled more than 3/4 of the film with drinking and boozing scenes and this may put off the family viewers.
The makers may defend themselves by saying this is the Telangana culture and they drink in happiness, sadness, and all other occasions to express their feelings. But they fail to realize that there are many other ways to highlight Telangana culture and score hits and all the people of the state do not spend most of their time drinking and quarreling.
Had Rupak Ronaldson, fine-tuned the story and worked on the script doing away with the repetitive scenes, Pareshan would have been shining. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 1.75 Rating for Pareshan.
