Nivin Pauly Film Is Old Wine in a New Bottle

Nivin Pauly Film Is Old Wine in a New Bottle

Prathichaya Movie Review : At a crucial moment, Kerala Chief Minister John Varghese (Nivin Pauly) looks his rival dead in the eyes and says, “It took me just about 15 minutes to smash your prathichaya (public image), the face of a multibillion empire,” while it took the latter over 20 minutes to tarnish the prathichaya of John’s father, KN Varghese (Balachandra Menon), built over decades with relentless work in politics. While this line is crafted as a zinger, a punch dialogue to be exact, it also reveals the frailty of images and reputations. All it takes is a few minutes of determined effort by someone, and even the sturdiest of images can come crumbling down, no matter how many years or crores went into building them. As director B Unnikrishnan’s political drama Prathichaya arrives in the run-up to the Kerala state Assembly elections, scheduled for April 9, many were doubtful if it’s a propaganda tool. The movie’s promotional materials, such as the trailer and release teaser, further fuelled these suspicions. At a time when propaganda films …

It takes me a few days on set to understand the director’s vision, after which I align my performance accordingly. Once that happens, I do not take much tension.” More about Prathichaya Prathichaya follows the story of a brilliant tech entrepreneur-turned-strategist, who is also the son of the Kerala Chief Minister. After his father dies as a result of a dangerous conspiracy orchestrated by a ruthless media tycoon, his life takes a dramatic turn. As the opposition attempts to use the conspiracy to its advantage …

Fractured leg, broken heart: The inspiring story of how Nivin Pauly risked everything for his first audition | Malayalam News

5 min readKochiMar 24, 2026 06:06 PM IST After a remarkable stretch of success in the 2010s, when he delivered one impressive work after another, Nivin Pauly currently has what can only be described as one of the most rollercoaster-like careers in Malayalam cinema. Less than a month after his fans and the media zealously declared that “Nivin is back” with the blockbuster success of director Akhil Sathyan’s Sarvam Maya (2025) following a prolonged dry spell, the actor delivered another bomb, director Arun Varma’s Baby Girl (2026), leaving all perplexed. Now, as he gears up for the release of his latest film, director B Unnikrishnan’s Prathichaya, his admirers are hoping against hope that the political drama will continue the success streak launched by Sarvam Maya, rendering Baby Girl just a forgettable blip in his trajectory. And if Prathichaya is at least serviceable, the Nivin effect probably won’t take long to grip the box office, as his core fanbase remains unshaken even after multiple disappointments.
