Review praises fun tone and smooth rhythm



A review from ETimes gave the film a warm response. It said, "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."



The review also said the second half becomes even more fun. "Things really pick up in the second part once the jokes and spooky vibes start working together, making the movie feel more like a fun ride than a scary stress-fest. Even when the narrative loosens in places, the film remains engaging because it understands its primary aim to entertain, not to intimidate. 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."



Cast performance helps the film shine The film features Ganapathi and Sagar Surya in the lead roles. With the strong reviews, steady occupancy and growing word of mouth, 'Prakambanam' is looking like a small film that found its own happy space at the box office.
