Pramani: Review[By yahoo group moderator:kailash] Rating 2.75/5

Theatre: EKM-Kavitha
Show: FDFS
Status: Balcony-full, 1st class-90%

As soon as i reached the theatre, I noticed prominent personalities- Director B.Unnikrishnan, ScriptWriter Benny P Narayambalam, Producer Noushad and rest of the fans eagerly waiting for the megastar to arrive. Mammootty reached the theatre by 11.30 and distributed the 1st 10 tickets to respective people, followed by a small speech on his character in Pramani and left. Even though he was there only for around 15 minutes, we had a cracking time. I spoke with B. Unnikrishnan and gave him an "All the best" before entering the theatre hall.

Pramani is B.Unnikrishnan' s another offering on the lines of Madambi in terms of characterization and presentation. Pramani is all about a Panchayath President,Viswanath a Panicker( Mammootty) nicknamed as America, who is cunning and rescues everyone , but at the same time traps them by squeezing their 'pramanams'. Here comes Suresh Krishna who plans to set up an IT Hub in the Panchayath and bribes Panicker to clear the hurdles. After agreeing to the commitment initially, Panicker changes his mind. This transformation results into rivalrly against Soman(Siddique) ,who is Panicker's brother, and sets up the clash against each other.

What makes the movie engaging is undoubtedly Mammootty's one man show as Vishwantha Panicker. The megastar is at his ease in delivering sharp dialogues, emoting sentiments and looks charismatic throughout the movie. Sneha as Panchaya Secratary reminds us the character Kavya played in Madambi. Though repetitive,Siddique was good so as veteran actress Lekshmi,while Janardhan, Suraj, Salim Kumar, Suresh Krishna were as usual. Prabhu's cameo was ok.

B. Unnikrishnan' s script and direction is predictable, but the dialogues were well written. M.Jayachandran' s music and BGM fits well within the movie. Editing was slick as the duration is just around 2 hr 15 min. Pramani is neither a boring movie nor a fresh attempt as B.Unnikrishnan played safe by including all the necessary ingredients to make it a simple entertainer.

On the whole, Pramani is fairly watchable movie that will please the fans and family audiences. Even though there is nothing new, there is nothing wrong in going for a watch.

Veridct: Above average
