The narrative revolves around a major political crisis at the highest level of state leadership.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The film features Nivin Pauly in the lead role. Sharaf U Dheen and Balachandra Menon play important supporting parts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>ETimes review for the film read, &#8220;While in the hands of another actor, John might have been a more massy character, Nivin underplays his part, and the film is better for it. Otherwise the issues that Prathicharya was looking at would have been lost in loud dialogues and twirling moustaches. His acting instincts once again shows that he knows how to shine in a heroic role, as he does in an emotional one or a cameo comedic part.<!-- --> Sharafudeen, too, plays it cool and complements Nivin\u2019s vibe.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/malayalam\/movies\/news\/prathichaya-ott-release-when-and-where-to-watch-nivin-pauly-and-b-unnikrishnans-political-thriller\/articleshow\/130345535.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nivin Pauly&#8217;s political thriller &#8216;Prathichaya&#8217;, which garnered mixed reviews, is set for its digital premiere on JioHotstar from April 24.
