Phonagnosia and prosopagnosia, difficult and complicated words for a couple of rare disorders. The first signifies a person who is able to hear but not able to distinguish voices or recognise whose voice it is and the latter is known as face blindness where a person can see but cannot identify a face.
The movie starts with a somber accident that leads the leading man and protagonist to suffer from the above maladies and which form the crux of the story and its continuous complications.
Prasanna Vadanam starts off with a fantastic concept and the viewer can well imagine the confusions that could happen and also the discomfort in life that this kind of malady/disability imposes on the victim.
Suhas does very well in this art and remains suitably confused and bemused throughout the movie aptly catching and highlighting all the critical points in the movie.
The story and the characters are well played by the actors. The story starts and stops on occasions but I liked the overall handling and enjoyed the story, which progresses into a thriller. I watched it on OTT.
One time watch is fine.

Surya meets with an accident while driving which results in him losing his parents with his friend injured. Surya's injury is severe, causing permanent damage where he is diagnosed with prosopagnosia and phonagnosia. He cannot recognize the people's faces neither can he recognize their voice. Years later, he is working as an RJ and trying to lead a normal life with the help of his friend Vignesh. Surya witnesses a murder and despite Vignesh's warning, anonymously tips the police about the murder. What problem does he get into and how does he get out of the mess, in his condition, forms rest of the story.
The USP of the story is the medical condition the hero character has and that alone gets the brownie points. Suhas is known for trying out unique scripts, forming a trust among audience and he doesn't disappoint. However, the screenplay is not without flaws and even logic goes for a toss, this is solely due to the attempt in presenting the film as commercially viable as possible. The love track is less impactful and acts as a speedbreaker. Though the interval reveal is solid, the villain characterization suffers from routine treatment. But there were few impressive scenes and the climax fight must be lauded in the way it is executed. If the villain track was handled better, it would have been a memorable entertainer. I am going with a lenient rating for the effort.

Good movie overall. Could have probably created more suspense by not revealing the real villain, but nevertheless worth seeing. In this buget , probably I have not seen such screenplay; rather I think more the budget more unnecessary painting done so better avoided.
Songs are neat and just sufficient for the whole movie. All actors have done justice to their role particularly hero & friend role, ACP, CI,. Music has shown its uniquness during suspense Settings were properly placed Direction good. The length of movie not too big not too short. At the end of the movie audience never felt it was boring.

Moving has a gripping plot. All the actors performed very well. It would be nice if ending was be explained more clearly. Why is everything reversed? However, this movie deserved to be a hit. It is unfortunate that it didn't work in the theaters.
