In a film, which is underscored by stilted writing and an old-fashioned treatment of drama, these flourishes never really get their moment in the sun. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 4d
Prathichaya wants to be an intriguing political crime thriller that has a lot to say about corruption and media manipulation. Instead, it's a convoluted mess with awful sound mixing that blares the music score to obnoxious levels. Go to Full Review Sreeju Sudhakaran Rediff.com 5d
2/5
Prathichaya has timely ideas and an interesting moral core, but is weighed down by dated storytelling, predictable plotting, and uneven performances. Go to Full Review S. R. Praveen The Hindu 6d
Even with a bucket of whitewash, this old-fashioned political thriller cannot get a contemporary facelift. Go to Full Review Anandu Suresh The Indian Express 6d
2/5
