The story of ‘Prathichaya’
‘Prathichaya’ is a Malayalam political thriller directed by Unnikrishnan B. The narrative revolves around a major political crisis at the highest level of state leadership.The film stars Nivin Pauly. Sharaf U Dheen and Balachandra Menon play important supporting roles.ETimes’ review of the film said, “While in the hands of another actor, John could have been a more massive character, Nivin underlines his role, and the film is better for it. Otherwise, the issues Prathicharya was exploring would have been lost in the loud dialogue and twirling moustache. His acting instincts show once again that he knows how to make it in a heroic role bright or shiny. The comic part.” Sharafudeen also acts beautifully and completes Nivin’s mood.”
