Thrishanku Review | A Wannabe Priyadarshan Comedy That Never Really Took Off

One of the major problems I immediately sensed about the movie Thrishanku was how its trailer was cut.

Pranaya Vilasam attempts to blend tragic romances with a humorous narrative without necessarily mocking it. And to be frank, that approach makes this movie interesting.

When Thattassery Koottam begins with visuals from Sabarimala, we get a feeling that an exciting backstory may well be there in this screenplay written by Santosh Echikanam.
