Papam Prathap (2026) Movie: Technicians Review

Papam Prathap story is penned by SP. Durga Naresh. He came up with an interesting plot and he narrated in an entertaining manner.

Throughout the first half, he established the characters and their nature in a natural, hilarious and entertaining way. In the middle of the first half, he touched the core point and ended the first half with an interesting twist.

He included the second half with intense emotions and highlighted the REM sleep disorder to take the proceedings to the next level. He came up with a decent story and complemented it with a screenplay and direction. He ended the film with a predictable climax which is dragged to the core.

The tunes scored by K.M. Radha Krishna are situational and they are shot in a natural way. Couple of songs are melodious. The background score scored by Suresh Bobbili is in sync with the story. He elevated few scenes in an impactful manner.

The editing of Anwar Ali is ok. But there are scenes that slowed the pace of the narration. Vishweshwar S.V with his Cinematography beautifies the film. He captured the scenic locations in a natural and realistic manner. Dialogues are entertaining and hilarious. Production values are good.

Papam Prathap (2026) Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Papam Prathap turns out to be a silly entertainer. Director SP.Durga Naresh tried to come up with a hilarious romantic entertainer with sleeping disorder. But with the core point a small one, he tried beating around the bush for the entire first half with numerous illogical scenes in the name of comedy. Though the comedy to some extent managed to evoke few laughs, the story moves nowhere.

Once the problem is revealed in the first half, from then on it becomes a tortorous watch to the viewers. Once the first half ends, viewers know where the story is heading and how the protagonist goes to resolve his problem. From then on, various emotional and over the top , silly scenes come before he talks of REM sleep disorder.

The entire cast and crew came up with spirited performances but SP.Durga Naresh partly failed to create the maximum impact as the story, screenplay and direction turned out to be just average. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Papam Prathap.
