Karthik Ghattamaneni's cinematography and the colour palette he uses for every single story, sets the tone of the film.Īwe has several astonishing moments only if you can look past the sequences that are not in sync with the story. The director lets you decode the happenings on the screen and you can relate to them. Walking into ‘The Village’ as Prasanth Varma’s office is affectionately called is like stepping into an oasis amidst towering cement blocks. There is a subtle message about abuse, harassment and mental illness. Prasanth's prowess comes into play once again during the last 15 minutes where he weaves the sub-plots into a story in a compelling manner. In an interview to the Hyderabad Times, Prasanth Varma confirmed, Yes, it is officially in the works. In 2015, he directed a five-episode web series Not Out starring Brian Lara. He then directed advertisement films and few short films including A Silent Melody (2014) and Dialogue in the Dark (2017). Somehow, these sub-plots and the uncalled for horror segments don't come across as cohesive enough. The film went on to win two National Awards - Best Special Effects and Best Make-up Artist and was a success commercially as well. Varma began his career in 2011 by directing a short film Deenamma Jeevitham.
But, every time the story gets dramatic, you are left with a sense of void. You laugh along with Priyadarshi and shed a tear when Eesha reveals her scarred childhood. However, as the story progresses, you lose track of the sub-plots even though there are moments to look out for. When was the last time you saw a well-constructed scene which explains the idea of same-sex marriage with dignity? It was rejuvenating to see it, and at the same time, Prasanth did not make it too preachy.
