After a really long time, I watched a movie that left me totally contented at the end and I can’t deny the fact that it restored my faith in Indian cinema. NJAN PRAKASHAN is one of those character-driven movies that contains all human emotions embedded in it leaving the audience wondering about their own lives and feeling happy about themselves. Yes, It’s a CLASSICAL MASTERPIECE.

Directed by Sathyan Anthikad and written by Sreenivasan, Njan Prakshan revolves around a guy named Prakashan who changes his name to P.R Akash just to sound cool. Being the son of a teacher, he thinks of himself a bit too much and dreams of traveling to foreign countries. He is just like any common man who goes into a wedding just for the sake of having a good meal and later complain about the food. The movie is completely about his transformation or more like a realization about his life. I don’t want to go into the plot to avoid spoilers.

The humor in the film is good. In some scenes, I could compare myself with the character because even I have done some of those crazy things. Each scene is well scripted, well shot and drives deep into the character. It’s a single character movie. Prakashan is the center. The beginning, the end, the plot twists and everything that happens is all about him. He comes across many realizations about life leading him to a totally different perspective about the world.

Fahad’s performance was fantastic. He has given life to the character. Prakashan’s emotions are evidently visible and I could feel his situations and emotions like I was facing them. The microexpressions, the local behavior, the idiotic grin, everything was perfect. Obviously, he is one of the best Indian actors. No doubt about it.

Without even a single actions sequence, it turns out to a total winner. With raving reviews from both the critics and the audience and a strong word of mouth it’s surely going to be a box office king a maybe break a few records.

My Rating: 4.5/5
