What you should know about ‘Prakambanam’?

‘Prakambanam’ is directed by Vijesh Panathur. Sreehari Vadakkan has scripted the film. The horror-comedy features Ganapathi, Sagar Surya, and Ameen in the lead roles. Actors Rajesh Madhavan, Sheethal Joseph, Kalabhavan Navas, PP Kunhi Krishnan, and Azeez Nedumangad are seen in pivotal roles in the film. The horror comedy film revolves around three final year students: Sidhu (Ganapathi), Punyalan (Sagar Surya), and Shankaran (Ameen) living in a men’s college hostel in Kochi.

The film has attracted a young audience, which has also worked in favour of the film’s box office collection. TOI has ranked the film 3 out of 5, and the review reads, “Director Vijesh Panathur keeps the tone easy and playful, while writer Sreehari Vadakkan builds humour through everyday hostel life. The actors show good comic timing, and the camerawork and background score quietly support the shifts between carefree fun and mild spooky moments, helping the film maintain its horror-comedy rhythm.

It’s not trying to be groundbreaking, but it’s packed with laughs and works perfectly as a horror-comedy that young theater-goers will love.

Beyond its humour, Prakambanam also functions as a subtle political and social satire, poking fun at ideological rigidity, generational contradictions, and the casual hypocrisy with which belief systems.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
