Pranaya Vilasam has a storyline that is unlike other romantic films. It focuses on the relationship between a son and his parents.

Entertainment

Director Nikhil Muraly explores relationships before marriage. It’s quite complicated in a society like Kerala where people are not open to new lifestyles.

Entertainment

Mohanlal’s Munthirivallikal Thalirkumbol also had a similar plot, where the protagonist finds his ex-lover and starts communicating with her.

Entertainment

The movie differs from the earlier mentioned film because of the portrayal of the woman’s character — Anusree — whose younger self is essayed by Anaswara Rajan.

Entertainment

Films usually narrate the story from the point of view of the male protagonist. But here, Anusree (Anaswara Rajan) has an ex-lover – Vinod.

Entertainment

Though Manoj gets good screen time in the movie as the father, details about his relationship with Meera go missing.

Entertainment

Even the relationship between the characters of Arjun Ashokan and Mamita Baiju becomes irrelevant after a point.

Entertainment

The first half of Pranaya Vilasam is a joyride with lighter moments. The songs composed by Shaan Rahman give colour to the flick. Shinoz’s cinematography is brilliant.

Entertainment

Pranaya Vilasam is a good entertainer. The movie has clubbed relationships across generations which makes it worth watching.
