Palasa 1978 story: Set in a small industrial town named Palasa, the story revolves around Mohan Rao, an artistic young man from a Dalit family who realises that his talent will never be rewarded and he can only move forward through physical might. Inspired by a henchman from his community who went on to attain power in the area, Mohan resorts to violence - a decision that influences his life's fate.

Performances: Rakshith has given an energetic performance, which is the highlight of Palasa 1978. Nakshatra has done justice to her role and her chemistry with the hero is good. Raghu Kunche, Vijay Ram, Thiruveer, Laxman Meesala, Prawin Yendamuri, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Mirchi Madhavi, Thanmai Bolt and Shanmuk have done good jobs, say the audience.

#Palasa1978 1st Half Report Raw and rustic first half. Action sequences are good. Director showcases Srikakulam slang wonderfully on-screen. #Palasa1978 Final Report: After a decent 1st half, the movie looses its fizz in the 2nd half. Except the climax, the whole 2nd half runs on a predictable plot. Climax dialogues are well written. Good performances from all the actors. #Palasa

#Palasa1978 First Half Report: On the flip side, movie's pace is slow and many scenes can be guessed before hand. #Palasa1978 Second Half Report: Except for few goosebumps moments here and there, there is nothing exciting about second second half. Scenes are highly predictable and dragged to large extent. #PalasaOnMar6th @Rakshit18695 @Nakshatra_sk @Karunafilmmaker @kuncheraghu @SureshProdns

#Palasa1978 Review – Honest Film That Loses Direction Mirchi9 Rating: 2.25/5 #Palasa is an honest attempt. There is an authentic attempt. But, the second half plays spoilsport as the narrative derails and moves into a routine zone.
