Prassthanam is director Deva Katta`s adaptation of his 2010 Telugu directorial with the same name. The story revolves around MLA Baldev Pratap Singh played by Sanjay Dutt and the complex relationships within his family in a highly volatile political setup. Baldev Singh is aided by his morally upright and charismatic half-son Aayush  played by Ali Fazal. He is the heir apparent, much to the chagrin of his younger step-brother Vivaan played by Satyajeet Dubey, who is a rich spoilt kid with a violent streak. All these men are bound by one woman, Saroj played by Manisha Koirala, Baldev`s wife. The director and screenplay writer Deva Katta infuses quite a few twists to keep you engaged, especially in the second half. The first half is mostly spent in introducing the many characters of the film. Jackie Shroff as Baldev`s loyal driver Badshah also doesn`t get to explore his full potential. Sanjay Dutt is impressive in his role of a determined leader and a vulnerable father. Ali Fazal makes the most of his well-written character. He exudes an easy charm as a young political leader. Chunky Pandey appears as the only formidable opponent in the film. Prassthanam manages to hold your interest in parts due to its fast paced developments.
