Santosh Soban must have been a tired actor displaying all sorts of comedy, inorganic spoofs in all his previous outings, but nothing seemed to have worked as much as Prem Kumar did.

Soban looked so lively as an unfortunate groom in the film. So neatly cut, the character PK is certainly going to stand as one of the best in his career.

Entertainment

The film starts off with the good premise of love birds getting united as they break their shackles and prejudices of society.

Entertainment

The first half is entertaining and engaging with scenes involving Santosh Soban and his dishevelled look as an unlucky groom.

Entertainment

The story picks momentum further with PK venturing into the detective agency and the entry of lady boss Angana (Ruchitha Sadineni) whose marriage is scheduled with Roshan.

Entertainment

Santosh’s portrayal of PK stands out to be the major highlight. Director Abhishek is smart enough in using Santosh Soban’s acting brilliance effectively in the film.

Entertainment

Ruchitha Sadineni as a stubborn and arrogant boss of a wedding planner is good. The music by Anant Srikar is good. Editor Garry BH does well to make the story crisper.

Entertainment

Prem Kumar is a good try for debutant director Abhishek Maharshi. However, he has to tighten his laces if he has to bring some entertaining stuff to the silver screen.
