Patang Review
The film Patang presents a narrative set against the backdrop of kite-flying competitions. It boasts a delightful story and storytelling, alongside compelling kite-flying sequences. It stands out as a clean, youthful entertainer.
Compelling stories featuring new actors provide audiences with a fresh experience. Recently, several small films starring new faces have found good success.
Adding to this list is Patang, a film with a new cast that had already intrigued with its teaser and trailer. Having released this Friday, did Patang captivate audiences? Did another small film achieve victory? Let’s find out in the movie review.
Plot: Two friends, Vijay Krishna alias Whiskey (Vanshee Pujith) and Arun (Pranav Kaushik), grow up together in the old city areas of Hyderabad and are inseparable best friends. Although Arun is a rich kid, he is incredibly close to Whiskey and his family.
At first sight, Whiskey falls for Aishwarya (Preethi Pagadala). Aishwarya likes him back. However, around the same time, upon seeing Arun, she also develops feelings for him and falls in love. For a while, they hide their love from Whiskey. When Whiskey eventually learns about the bond between these two, conflicts arise between the lifelong friends.
However, Aishwarya states that she loves them both. A kite-flying competition becomes the battleground to decide who Aishwarya should end up with. What happens after that? How did she grow close to Arun while being in love with Whiskey?
Finally, who does Aishwarya choose? Who wins in the competition of the kites? That forms the rest of the story.
Analysis: In our cinematic parlance, this is a triangular love story. Similar storylines have been seen in past films like Premadesam and, more recently, Baby. This, too, is a triangle love story. However, the fresh element here is the backdrop chosen by director Praneeth Prathipati, weaving this tale around the world of kite-flying competitions.
The characters created by the director and the situations around them also provide a fresh feel that delights everyone. The director’s choice to narrate the heroine’s story in collaboration with the actor Gautham Vasudev Menon, who appears in a role, feels interesting. The entire film progresses colorfully with fresh scenes, cute love sequences, youthful dialogues, and family emotions.
The first half, centered on the love story between two friends and a girl, progresses in a very fun and engaging manner.
In the second half, the kite-flying competition sequences become the soul of the film. While many sports dramas have graced the Telugu screen until now, this is the first film centered on kite-flying competitions. The kite-flying sequences add more thrill to this film.
Particularly, the commentary provided by actor Vishnu during the kite competition scenes is hilarious. Overall, Patang offers audiences a novel theatrical experience.
Cast Performances: The heroes, Vanshee Pujith and Pranav Koushik, impress with their acting and energy. Especially, the masala element brought by Vanshee Pujith in his mass role reflects the mentality of our gallant local youth. Pranav’s dances and screen presence are good. Preethi Pagadala, familiar to all from her Insta videos, fits perfectly into the role of a confused girl with her innocent acting. Gautham Vasudev Menon’s presence is a plus for the film.
The actors in the friends’ roles also appear very natural, just like people from the neighborhood. The director, in his first film, has brought a very talented and youthful film to the screen. Despite being a youthful film, the entertainment is clean without any double meanings. This is another example of the director’s talent.
We can definitely expect good films from director Praneeth in the future. Jose Jimmy’s music stands as a plus point for the film. The cinematography by Shakthi Arvind has painted every frame of the film colorfully.
Finally: In this triangle love story set against the backdrop of kite-flying competitions, all elements have balanced out well. This clean, youthful entertainer, which has arrived with a story that will appeal to today’s generation, is sure to please everyone.
