Let's start with the story- Studious , small-town lad Ajay Singh (Rajeev Khandelwal played the role) hails from ordinary family, with humble earnings.
He toils hard to satisfy his father's long-cherished dream of seeing his son serve the state as a official . But, as fate would have it, Ajay finishes up on the incorrect side of life.
REVIEW: Ajay Singh may be a simple, earnest and hard-working college goer, who wants to figure towards realising the dreams of his father. For that, Ajay keeps distractions of all types cornered . But, after an opportunity encounter with an area goon and scamster Gyanu Singh (Abhimanyu Singh), who is notorious for his involvement with the disgraced Lucknow University's leaked question paper controversy, the once docile Ajay (aka Ajji) goes on a killing spree. While some call him a victim of circumstances, others show no mercy and are thirsty for his blood for reasons quite one.
Sure, the manufacturers have made it evidently clear through the tagline of the film that it's a tribute to the 80s era of cinema, but we weren't cautioned about the very fact that it's a sum of what that period encapsulates.
For starters, the background score is melodramatic, then are the scenes between the father-son duo. No offense, everyone pines for an easy lifestyle and shut bond with relations , but what's shown in 'Pranaam' may be a bit too hard to digest by 2019 standards. Other aspects of the film that remind you of the time that's gone , which in no way may be a compliment, is that the cop and villains -- mouth their dialogues during a sing-song fashion, and a few even only in proverbs, loud, obnoxious and oh-so-outrageously sleazy.
Yes, Rajeev Khandelwal because the obedient son and sincere collegian is both convincing, and personable to an inexpensive degree, but the part where he plays a gangster? Not such a lot . Both Atul Kulkarni because the morally loose cop Rajpal Singh, and Abhimanyu Singh because the conniving goon Gyanu, have portrayed their respective parts well. As for the feminine lead - Manjari Shukla (played by Sameksha Singh) - she does her bit as Ajay's suffer-in-silence lover and constant source of support but since there's nothing for her within the script, this role is definitely forgettable.
Needless to mention , the screenplay is all things 80s and therefore the direction is additionally a continuing reminder of that point zone; bland, boring and beyond comprehension in parts.
In a different world, where the 80s era of long water-splashing shots and folk crying their hearts out for his or her kids' well-being at temples remains successful , 'Pranaam' would have worked, and during a massive way. But this world is flawed, then is that this crime drama.
