Gist of the Story
Dr. Priyadarshan, a middle-class guy, is caught up in a string of unrelated coincidences as he suffers silently from the symptoms of ADHD and hyperactivity. Then Priscilla, a tough, uncertain, and depressed young woman, enters his life. What does Priscilla have hidden? Will Priyan be drawn into her scheme?
Plot
The movie begins with ‘Priyan’s Childhood’. The director saw these scenes as an opportunity to properly introduce the main characters. From the beginning, the director defines the protagonist through the art-loving child Priyadarshan. From the first scene, the director conveys to the audience the characterization of the main character. The director introduces ‘Priyan’ as a housing association secretary and homeopathic doctor. Natives and householders need priyans for everything. A “darling” is someone who leaves his family behind to do other people’s business. A young woman (Aparna Das) complains that she and her young daughter are always the top priority. Once upon a time Priyan she had to do many things in a day. All are important to each other. He finally made an appointment to meet with Mammootty to talk about the script. But before he can reach this goal, he has to complete many planned and unplanned tasks. How will he prioritize these and achieve all that he sets out to do? This film shows how ‘Priyan’ deals with it. The director portrays Priyan’s efforts throughout the film. Audiences come into the film expecting things to go as smoothly as ‘Priyan’ thought.
Performance
Successfully breaking away from his former comedian figure, Sharafdean comes up with another memorable performance following Ark Qaryam. Despite her pleasant overdose, Priyan Ottathilanu manages to keep her audience engaged. Anthony did the rest of her casting well, too. She garners little attention, from Aparna playing a partner pushed to the limit to Suminu her Sijo playing a worker in Kudumbashri, all in a Priyan-influenced, hastily scripted tone. Endless onslaught. Naira Usha plays Priscilla Sankam, an independent single woman with post-traumatic stress disorder, who meets Priyan on the big day of her life. She is a breath of fresh air. She portrayed the character briefly. Biju Sopanam presents a singular fact that Chekuttan and Shivan Sopanam must be considered. Other notable characters are Jaffer Idukki, Ashokan, Siminu Siji, Sudhi Koppa and Harisree Ashokan.
Direction/Technical Side
Although Anil Kurian and K Abhayakumar’s entertaining screenplay for Antony’s film doesn’t do anything new, it is nonetheless a breath of fresh air because of how effectively it is paced and some witty humor additions that contribute to the breezy storytelling. The screenwriters’ efforts to show each scenario as though it were tied on a string to make it seem simple have paid off. In the continuation of Priyan’s run, Joel’s cuts are somewhat thrilling. The plot gains up steam when a movie director chooses to work with Priyan, despite being a little slow in the middle. The climax, which offers a surprise for the spectator and uplifts the entire mood of the movie, comes out on top.
Verdict; Another cliched film that falls under the feel-good category is Priyan Ottathilanu. The audience is kept interested until the very end thanks to a strong cast, biting humor, and a good pace. One Time Watch!
