Pravarakhyudu is one of the most awaited releases of December. Starring Jagapathi Babu and Priyamani, the film has been awaited by both the youth and the family audience, because it seemed to be a good motley of a universal theme and a protagonist (mythological Prvarakhya revisited) played by an actor who commands good popularity among middle-aged women. As was expected, Madan comes up with a story that derives its strength from its characters. Needed to such a story/film are interesting screenplay and dialogue, and on these parameters Pravarakhyudu is just about adequate.
