prince movie review prashanth

Despite the sketch comedy-like polish and the many jokes that go nowhere, Prince is still very watchable.

As hit-or-miss as the sketches can be, it’s these new interstitials that betray the show’s true aimlessness...

Full Review | Oct 21, 2022

Sivakarthikeyan's charm makes this silly, quirky comedy fun.

Even Sivakarthikeyan, who turns on the comic persona from his early films that made him a star, is only able to just about keep the film from sinking.

prince movie review prashanth

2 Hr 23 Min   |   Comedy   |   21-10-2022

Cast - Sivakarthikeyan, Maria Riaboshapka, Sathyaraj, and others

Director - Anudeep KV

Producer - Suniel Narang, D.SureshBabu, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao

Banner - Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP

Music - Thaman S

Jathi Ratnalu fame Anudeep is back with a quirky comedy. This time he collaborated with Siva Karthikeyan and made it on large scale in Telugu-Tamil as bilingual. Did Siva Karthikeyan and Anudeep recreate the magic of Jathi Ratnalu and Varun Doctor? Did the duo live upto the expectations? Let’s find out.

Anand (Siva Karthikeyan) works as a social teacher in a small town. He falls for British girl Jessica (Maria Ryaboshapaka) who is his colleague. Anand’s father (Sathyaraj), who is a broad natured, unable to accept Jessica owing to her British nationality since his grandfather was killed by British. Jessica’s father turns against her love for his own reasons. Meanwhile, Jessica’s family land in the town is wanted by local Bhupathi this invites big troubles and leads to disturbances in their love story. How does Anand resolves it and wins Jessica forms the crux of the story.

Performances

Siva Karthikeyan is game for comedy. He does it again effortlessly. He slips into the role of Anand which is likely by youth and also has good principles. His comic persona drives the film forward. Jessica is good in emotional scenes. Sathyaraj does an impactful performance in a soft role. He generates fun. All the cast plays their parts well. The film intentionally has more Tamil actors which may affect the Telugu nativity.

Technicalities

Anudeep picked a wafer-thin plot which itself is quirky and comical. But he added his trademark comedy to make it even more hilarious. Visuals are refreshing, credit goes to cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa. Thaman, who is of late catering thumping background score and loud music, impresses with feel-good and soothing music.

Siva Karthikeyan Laugh Moments Dialogues & Music

Hero-Heroine Love Track Logics Goes For Toss

Audiences are still not out of pandemic fatigue which is why there is good scope for comedy films to work miraculously well at the ticket windows. Relying on the same, Anudeep, who is fresh from heat of Jathi Ratnalu success, attempted the similar feat. He is successful largely. He caters to fun-loving masses with irreverent humour. Siva Karthikeyan adds his touch to it.

Simply put, Prince is Jathi Ratnalu version 2.0 with different scale, set-up. It has all the elements to work. But the problem is it underscores on logics. The film delivers nonsensical laughs throughout. Siva Karthikeyan goes on delivering lengthy speeches reminding us of courtroom scene in Jathi Ratnalu. Yet, it worked. It keeps viewers in splits.

Kudos to Anudeep. Inanities all over the film. Even the supporting cast and side cast keep uttering inane lines generating fun. It is the humour quotient that keeps us invested in the film. The dominance of Tamil cast may affect the Telugu nativity and sensibilities. Dialogues deserve special mention as they bring cheer immediately. The makers rely on dialogue-humour. The hero-heroine love track needs more attention. It has no emotional connect.

Overall, the film has its moments. It only runs on laughs with no logics. Go for it if you want to keep your brains at home and enjoy the laugh ride in cinemas. It may not be another Jathi Ratnalu but Prince is Prince ( in Anudeep’s words).

Bottom line: All Laughs, No Logics!

Rating: 2.75/5

Prince review: Sivakarthikeyan’s attempt at romantic comedy is a cringe-fest

Sivakarthikeyan and Maria Ryaboshapka in Tamil movie Prince

Prince has lapses in logic that are larger than some of the potholes peppering Chennai streets right now, post the corporation’s work on the storm water drains. Actually, if you find anything that remotely makes sense in the film, it is most likely accidental. In a school somewhere in Puducherry, Anbu (Sivakarthikeyan) and Jessica (Maria Ryaboshapka) teach history and English, respectively. Jessica is British and lives in Puducherry’s French Colony. Anbu is the grandson of a Tamil freedom fighter or so his father Ulaganathan, played by a Sathyaraj leaning hard into his comedic chops, keeps telling anyone who will listen.

When Jessica and Anbu fall in love, Ulaganathan, portrayed so far as a ‘progressive’ father, has a meltdown. Because Jessica is British and not French as he’d assumed. Ulaganathan is okay with the French, “Karl Marx veetulaiye ponnu edhutha maadhiri” (It’s like we found a bride from Karl Marx’s own household). Marx was born in Prussia’s Trier (present-day Germany), but facts be damned.

Ulaganathan rails at his son about British colonisation in a sequence that you struggle to believe is not parody. Prince is set in and around Puducherry town — you know, that former French colony? The French colonisers were hardly less guilty of brutality. But, like I said, history, facts, logic none of that matter to the film. Not even to the protagonist Anbu, who you will recall teaches history. Unfortunately, Prince ’s entire premise revolves around Ulaganathan’s very specific dislike of only the British. Granted they stayed the longest of all the European colonisers, but for a film that takes pains to set up its story in Puducherry, the premise leaves you wondering at the filmmaker’s blissful lack of irony.

This is Telugu director Anudeep KV’s first foray into Kollywood. His and SK’s, as Sivakarthikeyan is popularly known, attempt at romantic comedy leaves you feeling second-hand embarrassment for them at the cringeworthy romance. The comedy works best, and only rarely so, when SK relies on self-deprecating humour and in turning Tamil cinema formula moments on their head. The Big Fight in Prince makes fun of the ‘mass’ sequences the industry’s heroes usually get. The slapstick comedy scene with a hilariously outnumbered SK offers overdue bursts of laughter. Similarly, the grand monologues that stars tend to give at the end of the film has a particularly SKesque delivery that recalls his early days as a stand-up comedian rather than a conventional Kollywood hero.

Also, the little quips about SK’s capabilities as a lyricist, such as the nonsense lines he wrote for ‘Arabic Kuthu’ from Beast , remind you that the actor is comfortable making fun of himself.

There’s not much else that can be said in favour of Prince . Sathyaraj’s screen presence, particularly in what is supposed to be a quirky role, falls flat in utter disservice to the talented actor. Though his father-son pairing works well with SK and they are able to play off each other’s comic timing, the poorly written script undoes this collaboration. Even cameos by Anand Babu and Soori barely contribute to the tone or comedy in the film.

Maria’s painfully exaggerated accent (whether her own or dubbed, it’s hard to tell) when speaking Tamil and her objectification as the aspirational partner in an industry obsessed with light-skinned women more or less summarises her part in the film. Like most Kollywood heroines, Jessica is a wide-eyed, two-dimensional female lead, with the only difference being that she is white. She delivers on the grating cutesiness expected of her. It’s difficult beyond this to credit or fault the acting of someone playing such a poorly written character. The actor also looks completely ill-at-ease in the kind of dance moves demanded of heroines in Indian cinema.

Music director Thaman’s songs, with the majority of the lyrics penned by SK, certainly don’t contribute much towards making anyone want to break out into dance. Rather, tracks like ‘Bimbilikki Pilapi’, ‘Jessica’ and ‘Who am I’ have you wistfully eyeing the nearest exit.

SK and Anudeep, in this unappealing mess of a film, make passing attempts to comment on the ideas of patriotism vs being branded anti-national. But so shallow is the effort, with care taken only to ensure no offence is given to the Hindu-right who actually throw those words around, the commentary has zero social impact.

Prince Movie Review & Rating!

Prince Movie Review & Rating!

Date : October 21, 2022

Starring : Sivakarthikeyan, Maria, Sathyaraj etc..

Director : Anudeep

Music Director : Taman

Cinematography : Manoj Paramahamsa

Producer : Sunil Narang – Suresh Babu – Puskur Rammohan Rao

Banner : Srivenkateswara Cinemas – Suresh Productions

Rating: 2.5/5

“Prince” is the latest film directed by director Anudeep KV, who gained tremendous popularity with the film “ Jathi Ratnalu “. Even though this Tamil movie starring Sivakarthikeyan in the title role is being promoted as a Telugu Bilingual, it looks like a Tamil dubbed movie. And let’s see how this comedy entertainer impressed the audience..!!

Story : In fact, there is nothing to say about this story, this is the story, this is the twist in the movie. Anand (Sivakarthikeyan) is adored by the whole village. It is noteworthy that his father Viswanadham (Satyaraj) also agrees to that. What is the real story of Anand? Why was he exposed? is the story of “Prince”.

Performance of Actors:  In any movie, the chemistry of the hero-heroines works well. But the chemistry of Sivakarthikeyan & Sathyaraj worked brilliantly in this film. Their combination comedy is amazing. Maria impressed with her beauty-acting. Prem ji & other Tamil actors impressed.

TECHNOLOGY PERFORMANCE:  It is not common to make a film without a story, without a story to work with. Anudeep KV did this feat for the second time and felt no problem. Anudeep, who used Sivakarthikeyan’s work as an actor to the fullest, falters a bit when it comes to comedy punch dialogues.

Hence the comedy is not fully mature. The way the climax episode is convincing is good. Thaman elevates the film with his music. Cinematography, production design & art work are good.

Analysis :  If you can enjoy the logic, the story-telling, punchy dialogues and senseless comedy, you will enjoy “Prince”. Otherwise, it’s a bit difficult to enjoy this slapstick comedy.

Movie Prince
Star Cast Siva Karthikeyan, Sathya Raj, Maria Ryaboshapka
Director Anudeep KV
Producer Suniel Narang, D Suresh Babu, P. Ram Mohan Rao
Music S S Thaman
Run Time 2h 23m
Release 21 Oct, 2022

Sivakarthikeyan and Maria Ryaboshapka starrer Prince hit the screens today. It is directed by Anudeep KV. Let’s check out the review:

In the opening of the movie whole village boycotts Anand (Sivakarthikeyan) for a mistake he made. Viswanadham (Sivakarthikeyan’s father) also agrees with the villagers and gets ready to disown his son. Then opens the flashback of Anand, who is irregular as a schoolteacher. He finds himself falling in love with a British woman, Jessica (Maria Ryaboshapka) who is teaching English at the same school. While he thinks his father will say yes to their marriage, he says no for a reason. How Anand won the heart of Jessica and how he changed his father’s mind forms the rest of the story.

On-screen performances:

Father and son duo Sivakarthikeyan and Sathyaraj steal the show with their stellar performance. Their combination scenes are funny. Yet Maria is very gorgeous onscreen. She has very less scope to perform because of her un-lengthy characterization. Premgi Amaren’s character is sure to surprise the audience. Rest of the characters are just fillers.

Off-screen talents:

S. Thaman with two chartbusters – Bimbiiki Pilapi and Jessica – delivered the needed background music for the film. Cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa did a fabulous job by presenting the best visuals. He picturized everything well. Anudeep as writer tried to stretch a silly line in his own formulatic way but falls apart. He established several silly moments and tried to extract humour out of them.

Plus Points:

  • Sivakarthikeyan’s Performance
  • Climax Episode

Minus Points:

  • Silly Storyline
  • Unfunny dialogues in many parts

Verdict: Prince is a madcap comedy that relies on silliness. However, it has an important message at its core. The comedy cooked by Anudeep worked in some places, but fell flat in others. The audience expected that a lot more jokes would have worked on the screen as it is an Anudeep film. However, the director disappointed them in a big way. So, think before you watch this movie.

Telugubulletin.com Rating: 2/5

A British girl is sitting inside a Tamil household

peaking with who could possibly be her future father-in-law.

The warm, Ulaganathan (Sathyaraj), is telling her (Jessica, played by Maria Riaboshapka)

that he knows everything and that she could ask him any doubts,

especially if it has to do with the Tamil language.

At that exact moment, Anbu's (Sivakarthikeyan) phone rings.

The ringtone? 'Gumuru Tupuru', from Sivakarthikeyan's earlier hit, Namma Veetu Pillai .

Jessica asks Ulaganathan what that means, and...

Strike that. It has two or three funny lines - most of which have anyway been packaged in the trailer

the irreverent laugh riot that the makers promised in the promotional interviews seems to have gone missing.

Prince Preview - SWOT Analysis

Published date : 20/oct/2022.

Prince Preview - SWOT Analysis

** Click here for Prince Review **

After delivering two back-to-back box-office hits namely Doctor (2021) and Don (2022), actor Sivakarthikeyan is going in for the hat-trick with his upcoming release Prince . A quick SWOT analysis of the romantic comedy  that releases in theaters tomorrow (October 21, 2022)  follows:

  • Writer, director Anudeep KV's last hit outing Jathi Ratnaalu had good humour and his follow up film Prince has Sivakarthikeyan and Sathyaraj - Kings of comic deliveries. This added with a family-friendly genre is the biggest strength of Prince . 
  • Movies these days should have at least one viral song by thumb rule. Composer SS Thaman and Sivakarthikeyan with his incredible dance, have ensured it with the Jessica song from Prince . 
  • Despite being a Diwali release, buzz surrounding Prince 's release seems overall average.   

Opportunities

  • Prince 's Diwali release means it gets a four-day holiday opening. Good word of mouth could ensure big moolah at the box-office. 

Threats 

  • Ticket prices this Diwali season start from Rs. 190 instead of Rs. 120 and they are expected to be priced as such in the first four opening days. This has already left a lot of movie-goers in Tamil Nadu  disgruntled . 
  • Added to this, Prince  is opening against a spy action thriller titled Sardar  at the box-office. Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan: Part One still going strong in theaters and its movie tickets being available  for Rs. 120  isn't helping Prince 's cause either.

Prince Movie Review and Rating.

One would expect Sivakartikeyan and Anudeep KV to produce a banger as they're both still riding on the highs of Don and Jathi Rathnalu respectively. I went into the cinema with 0 expectations but came out disappointed.

The movie's 1st half was actually quite enjoyable, only to be ruined by a very poor 2nd half. Sivakartikeyan is not at his best but he's somewhat in his element. His character doesn't have any shade at all, so he's in his comedy mode all throughout. Sathyaraj played the father character quite well IMO. The one that really caught me off guard was the heroine. I wouldn't say she was really good, but she succeeded in conveying the emotions her character was supposed to, and she actually had a good chemistry with SK. Impressive from an actress of an entirely different culture and whose 1st language isn't even English. The rest of the characters don't really leave a mark.

The jokes in this movie were mostly a miss for me. Say out of 10 jokes, only 3 or 4 worked. There aren't any serious or emotional moments in the movie, and even though there might have been, they weren't conveyed to the audience well, in the sense that the serious or emotional moments didn't feel like they were serious or emotional at all.

The director's idea is clear, but the presentation of the movie was bad. The screenplay and writing of the movie just falls flat right after the interval, and is topped off with a terrible climax that doesn't give any closure.

The songs and the choreography were all good. No problems here.

Overall rating: 4/10.

prince movie review prashanth

A woman dances alone in her apartment to the cheese ’80s classic “It Takes a Muscle to Fall in Love” by Spectral Display. Her son and daughter look at her swaying from behind her, amused as we all are when we catch people with their guards down. Their mother turns around to reveal running mascara and the expressions on the faces of her children change as well. In many ways, this early scene is what Sam de Jong ’s “Prince” is about—posturing and posing that hides something deeper. We are never at our more image-obsessed than in the hazy, horny, love-sick days of our teenage years, and while “Prince” feels a little slight when the credits roll less than 80 minutes after it begins, it’s still a strong, creative addition to the crowded coming-of-age genre.

Our troubled young man this time is named Ayoub (engaging newcomer Ayoub Elasri ). His mother is lonely, looking for love online but mostly failing. His half-sister is his most supportive ally, getting him more than the barely-men with whom he spends most of his time hanging out, looking at the common objects of teenage obsession—cars and girls. Ayoub’s dad is a junkie, seen almost entirely in an abandoned, emptied pool in which he shoots up and basically avoids Ayoub’s attempts at connection. At one point, Ayoub tells him, “ Dad, I’m in love ,” and he just laughs, knowing the trouble such a statement often leads to, and unable to really offer any cogent advice.

Ayoub is in love with a beautiful young woman named Laura (Sigrid ten Napel), who smiles at him and then tells her boyfriend about it. Laura’s boyfriend is one of the older, tougher guys on the other side of the street, and he doesn’t take too kindly to the young punk talking to his girl. Writer/director Sam de Jong crafts parallel groups. Ayoub and his friends are matched across the lot by what they might look like in ten years—another group of dude-bros with more tattoos, muscles, and the beginning of crow’s feet. It’s the same macho bullshit, tinged with more aggression and more failure. And Ayoub wants to nab Laura from its clutches before it’s too late.

At the same time, an even darker predator than Laura’s boyfriend lurks on the fringe of “Prince” in the form of a local gangster named Kalpa (internationally known rapper Freddy Tratlehner). He drives a flashy car and his name is spoken in hushed tones. He’s clearly crazy. Can he teach Ayoub how to stand up for himself? Can he be the father figure this young man so clearly needs but lacks?

The first act of “Prince” is stylish and creative. It is about the teen years of boredom and insecurity as much as anything. These kids who think they’re men hang around in what looks like constant sunshine, doing almost nothing but forming their identities in the process. De Jong and his team often shoot from unique angles, like knee-level, and sometimes even allow the characters to speak directly to the camera. This is the life of a teenager—stylized, exaggerated, but hollow. A synth-heavy score reminiscent of Cliff Martinez’s work on “ Drive ” gives the entire piece a unique flair.

As “Prince” gets more plot-heavy, especially in an emotional final act that the young actors can’t quite handle, it gets a bit less interesting. Some of the decisions made by Ayoub, especially after he realizes his sister has a boyfriend, feel forced. It’s hard to believe given its short running time, but “Prince” actually needed less plot. It’s the way that “Prince” captures those hazy, confused days of teenage life with its own direct style that works, not the manipulative twists of its narrative climax. Luckily, none of the missteps of “Prince” derail the piece entirely. Like the emotional minefields of adolescence, the characters quickly move on to the next beat, and when they walk into the future in the final scenes, I was surprised how much I enjoyed my time with Ayoub and his buddies. I wondered where life would take them from here. And that’s the sign of a good coming-of-age film—it captures how this phase is not an ending but just a new beginning.

Andhagan movie review: Prashanth and Simran's film is faithful but unengaging remake of Andhadhun

Andhagan movie review: prashanth’s film tries desperately to match andhadhun, which was a smartly crafted black comedy thriller, and falls short..

When Hindi film Andhadhun (The Blind Man) came out in 2018, it was hailed for its intricate screenplay and inspiring performances of Ayushman Khurana, Tabu and Radhika Apte. Tamil actor Prashanth’s father, actor-producer-director Thiagarajan bought the remake rights and had made it as Andhagan. While the movie was complete in 2022, it has taken two years for it to hit theatres. (Also Read: Santhosh Narayanan distances himself from Prashanth’s The Andhagan Anthem: ‘Audio label is also playing blind’ )

Andhagan movie review: Simran, Prashanth, Samuthirakani in a still.

Prashanth essays the role of Krish, a blind piano player, in Andhagan. He lives alone with his cat and plays at a resto bar in the evenings to make his living. It is here that he meets Julie (Priya Anand) and the two become close. Yesteryear actor Karthick (who essays a similar role) is an also a frequent visitor to the bar and he falls in love with Krish’s music. Karthick invites Krish to his place for a private concert for his wedding anniversary to surprise his wife Simi (Simran). Landing up at the actor’s place, Krish finds he is not home and he receives a shock instead. There is a murder that is committed and Krish turns witness. What happens next?

The performances and more

Andhagan is a faithful remake of Andhadhun and director Thiagarajan has followed the script to a T. But having enjoyed the original Hindi film and the performances, the Tamil remake definitely falls short in numerous aspects including the casting and music.

Andhagan was a comeback vehicle for actor Prashanth who has not been seen in Tamil cinema for six years now. The 51-year-old actor who had some good films in his career, like Shankar’s Jeans, hasn’t had any big hits to speak of in the last two decades. In Andhagan, the actor looks jaded and not fresh and youthful which is imperative for the character of a charming piano player. This role was perhaps not what he should have chosen for a comeback though the movie has a good script.

Simran , on the other hand, is perfect as Simi, which was essayed by Tabu in the Hindi version. Priya Anand too is decent as Julie and numerous other characters, like Urvashi, Yogi Babu, Manobala, Leela Samson and Vanitha Vijayakumar, have been thrown to add weight and comic value to the film but this doesn’t do much for it. Yesteryear Tamil star Karthick is a misfit as Simi’s husband and moreover, his dubbing doesn’t match what he’s mouthing on screen which is very distracting. Again, Samuthirakani steps in as a cop - for the umpteenth time in Tamil cinema - and obviously it’s a cakewalk for him.

Music director Santhosh Narayanan is known for his spectacular songs and BGM but in Andhagan the songs are just terrible. Krish is a talented musician and plays at a bar for his livelihood but the songs he sings are tacky to say the least. This was quite unexpected from this talented music director who just gave us the massive Kalki 2898 AD .

Thiagarajan had to turn director for Andhagan after two directors walked out of the project. Having had a template already, it would have been easy to helm this film but Andhagan hasn’t been made exciting for the audience. The Tamil narrative is flat and the twists that come don’t pop on screen but play out very matter-of-fact for the audience. Had the director taken the script and made some changes to make it more engaging in Tamil it would have helped. The dialogues by Pattukotai Prabhakar also don’t evoke any emotions in the audience as they watch Krish’s character go through an emotional roller coaster from happiness to shock to fear.

Andhadhun was a smartly crafted black comedy thriller by Sriram Raghavan that kept you guessing and on the edge of your seat. Prashanth’s Andhagan tries desperately to match the original but falls short.
