Known for his unconventional choices, actor Thiruveer was impressive in his last film, Masooda. He again lobbed a bouncer as he announced his decision to collaborate with writer-director Rupak Ronaldson, who gave us the slapstick, over-the-top comedy Kobbari Matta. Sealing the deal was Rana Daggubatti who is presenting the film via his Spirit Media banner.
Pareshan doesn’t have much of a storyline. A group of youths – Isaac (Thiruveer), Basha (Bunny Abhiran), RGV, Satthi and Maidaku — live in a colliery town in Mancherial, and have no education, no goals and no prospects in life. All they do is pass their time with silly mischief, as they quarrel with whoever crosses their path. They understand their own place and worth in the microcosm of this colliery town.
The film takes its own sweet time to establish the basic premise, as characters seem to be caught in loops. The absurdity of the situations and lack of the expected narrative structure makes it sort of an experiment for most viewers. The degree of suspension of disbelief the film demands is high, and you will either love or hate this film, with little chance of treading a middle ground
The Telangana milieu shown here is etched better than the recent Balagam, Dasara or Mem Famous. Though the social representation may be more limited and true to colliery towns, certain characters, mannerisms, colloquial expressions hold true for most of Telangana.
Except Thiruveer and Muralidhar Goud, almost all other actors are new to screen. The rawness they bring along needs some getting used to. Unlike Mem Famous, the character presentation here is unpretentious and unvarnished. Background music and songs try to bring a thematic unity to the film.
The episodes showing Christian preachers and their routine may find few takers. Muralidhar Goud does well as the father, actors essaying the roles of Tiger Seenu and Marthamma also impress. Like his previous film Kobbari Matta, writer-director Rupak Ronaldson delivers another hard to digest, hard to ignore film with Pareshan. Thiruveer surprises again with his commitment to his role.
