Pranaya Vilasam (2023) is a beautiful and refreshing take on the first love category. The movies features the three love stories focusing on the father, mother and son in the family. Characters are relatable and the interactions between family members are realistic. The dynamic between father and son is especially compelling. Manoj K as the father plays a very genuine and realistic character who is nostalgic about meeting his first love after twenty or something years.
The story changes drastically after an important plot point in the first half of the movie. The climax is quite unpredictable which is a rare in the romance genre. All the actors have done quite well in their respective roles.
Music by Shaan Rahman is beautiful and enhances the quality of the movie significantly. The cinematography is also very gorgeous and well done.
