MARO PRAPANCHAM - A Telugu Short Film Review

11:05 PM  , , , ,  


MARO PRAPANCHAM means ANOTHER WORLD. Well this independent short film runs for 45mins and 51secs, but the best part you won't even know the numbers while watching this film. It really carries you to the so called MARO PRAPANCHAM. 

This short film will surely be a learning film for many of those aspirant film makers in all departments and also short film makers.

My Review by Sashank K:
Short Review:  Don't miss this short film for anything in the world. Maro Prapancham is surely one of the best short films that I have personally come across in Telugu for a long time which has touched the sensitive part for any one which is the "HUMAN EMOTIONS". A short film which will take you on an emotional coaster ride. The film surely shows how hard the whole team have worked hard from story telling to acting to cinematography to editing and direction. I never felt that this was a film and was involved as if I was watching a real story live. CONGRATULATIONS to the whole team of Maro Prapancham and Kudos to the director Bharat Kamma to bring the whole group together and make this masterpiece.


I am still giving it 4.5 instead of 5, as I feel that my 100% attention was not grabbed. But, we don't have many films that can grab even 90% attention so here it is enjoy watching it.


Star Rating (4.5 out of 5.0):

Detailed Review:
Story and Screenplay: Screenplay was really perfect which will not make you feel that you are watching a story, you will surely feel that it is a real event happening right in-front of your eyes. Smooth not too violent with violence and emotion as the main track of the film. In short it is a story about contract killing and then the result bouncing back.

Director: Bharat Kamma has proved practically through this film that he not only has a great imagination, but also a great direction skills. His direction is the main reason behind the smooth story telling and he did utilize the actors to their best, which is least concentrated these days. He has surely worked at at every department with each person to get what he imagined and has succeeded, it also reflects in his film Maro Prapancham. 

Actors: Dayaa K (Nandhi), Vamsi Pada Kandla (Mani), Ram Krishna Mutyala (David) and Murali Basa (Bully) playing the lead roles as the contract killer and equally competitive to the the child artist who played the lead role was Baby Annie (Rani), who played as the girl who lost her father killed by these contract killers. All of them really acted naturally and their acting did prove to be one of the strongest points for Maro Prapancham and the film wouldn't have been the same without their skills. All the actors Swetha (Nandhi's Sister), Siraj (Young Nandhi), Jagadeeswari (Hotel Owner), Madhavi (Teacher), Srikanth Sakhamuri (Rani's Father) and Praveen Bhangari (Mediator) also did an equally great job to balance the whole film of Maro Prapancham.

Dialogues: Many people don't understand the importance of dialogues in a film and its weight for the film. Without any doubt for Maro Prapncham Ravi Reddy Mallu's dialogues are a strong point.

Editing / Digital Grading: Sreejith Sarang, being the responsible person for editing and digital grading has done an excellent job to make us feel attracted with the visuals of Maro Prapancham and make us sit and feel that it was all happening in a different world. The perfection can be felt with the connection we will have with the video all through this film.

Music: Excellent music by Justin Prabhakaran. There are films in where the music plays the front role and then there are films where the visuals play the front role. Clearly the music in Maro Prapancham has given a great push for the visuals to stand strong in the front side. The soothing music though playing in the background, without it the visuals wouldn't have got the same importance.

Cinematography: Sujith Sarang, has repeatedly proved time again and again why his taking makes the visuals so rich. His skills as a cinematographer for Maro Prapancham also played a major role in giving each shot and visuals its importance. Though the story looked very natural I am sure there was a lot of hard shots which Sujith had worked really hard to take them and reach the Director Bharat's expectations. His hard work is what made us feel comfortable and easy and real to make this film Maro Prapancham really a film from another world.

Other Team Members: There are always many others who work hard for a film to be what it is. Excellent job done by all the other departments like lighting, musicians and all others without whom I am sure Maro Prapancham wouldn't be what it finally turned out to be. 
Congratulation to the whole team of MARO PRAPANCHAM
