Rathnan Prapancha Movie Review
Rathnan Prapancha Movie Review.PR Handout

Rathnan Prapancha is a content-driven film with no space for mass masala elements. It is a simple heart-warming story with some fine performance from the hero and supporting artistes.

Rohit Padaki of Dayavittu Gamanisi fame has directed the movie which has Umashree, Reba Monica John, Anu Prabhakar, Achyuth Kumar, and others in the cast. The film has B Ajaneesh Loknath's music, Shreesha Kuduvalli's cinematography and Deepu S Kumar's editing.

It is the story of insurance agent Rathnakara and how his life changes after realising an umcomfortable truth about his life. How he rediscovers his world when the life gives him a shock forms the crux of the story.

Dhananjaya has given a stunning performance and Umashree as a loud mother is extremely brilliant in her role. Rest others have also done justice. Moreover, Ajayneesh/s BGM is one of the major highlights of the movie.

The movie has garnered unanimous positive reviews. Check out audience's reaction:
