Pareshan review: Thiruveer stands out in this slapstick comedy set in rural Telangana

Director-screenwriter-editor Rupak Ronaldson’s latest movie, Thiruveer-starrer Pareshan, has become the talk of the town after actor Rana Daggubati announced that he would present the project through his company — Spirit Media.

The teaser grabbed the attention of audiences as it hinted that the film, set up in the rural backdrop of Telangana’s Mancherial, would be a laugh riot. Let’s check if the team succeeded in delivering its promise.

Synopsis

Isaac (Thiruveer) is a happy-go-lucky youth who casually goes about life without any aim or responsibility. He is happy spending time with his friends rather than focusing on studies or a job.

On the other hand, Isaac’s father Samarpan Kumar (Muralidhar Goud) is worried about his son’s future. Samarpan Kumar gathers money to bribe higher officials to get a job for Isaac in collieries.

But things go haywire and a laugh riot follows when Isaac spends the money his father collected for his job to bail his friends out of unexpected troubles. More trouble follows Isaac when his girlfriend Sireesha (Pavani Karanam) becomes pregnant.

A laugh riot

Pareshan is a comedy of errors that manages to keep the audience engaged and entertained while the characters in the story are grappling with their seemingly insurmountable series of problems.

Director Rupak Ronaldson comes up with a simple story but succeeded in generating comedy from it. The whole story revolves around Isaac’s friends, his girlfriend and his father.

However, if one observes more, there is only so much in the story which appears to be just for fun and nothing more.

Thiruveer stands out

Barring a few, most of the actors who are featured in Pareshan are new and upcoming. Almost all of them talk in the Telangana dialect.

Thiruveer stands out among all.  He looks handsome and impressive.

Pavani Karanam is attractive in a girl-next-door role. Thiruveer and Pavani make for a good pair.

Muralidhar Goud gets a meaty role in this flick. He manages both comedy and serious scenes well, portraying the role of a worried father.

Bunny Abhiran and Anji succeed in generating comedy.

Technical crafts

Cinematographer Vasu Pendem has done a good job of capturing the rustic Telangana background and faces realistically.

Even the songs are in the Telangana dialect. Music director Yashwant Nag has done a decent job.
