Priyamudan Priya Movie Review: Love or Lust, what other relationship? 

"Priyamudan Priya" is an emotionally intense and unique film that opens with Radio Jockey Priya (Leesha), whose soothing and captivating voice connects with listeners. Despite having a beautiful family and a promising career as a Radio Jockey, Priya decides to get married and settle down, intending to quit her job. However, her plans take a dark turn when a strange guy, Markandayan (Ashok Kumar), intrudes into her house, threatening her sister and nieces. He blackmails Priya into hosting a radio show according to his wishes.

 

Markandayan's character is portrayed as an orphan yearning for affection, and he becomes obsessed with Priya's voice after randomly stumbling upon her radio program. Instead, he feels an overwhelming feeling of recognition and warmth, transcending conventional boundaries of love. This inexplicable connection deeply resonates within his soul.

 

The plot thickens when Priya's boss, MD Kishore (Thalaivasal Vijay), initially disagrees with the idea of conducting the show according to a stranger's wishes. Simultaneously, the cop Suresh investigates Markandayan, revealing that he is affected by bipolar disorder. Despite Kishore's reluctance, he eventually agrees to Markandayan's demand, leading to a radio show that exposes Markandayan’s emotional feelings to the public, creating a powerful impact.

 

Director Sujitha takes an audacious approach, exploring the psychic eccentricity that revolves around the concept of a Radio Jockey. Ashok Kumar's character portrays a hyper and volatile personality, while Leesha's performance captures the essence of Priya's character adequately. Srikanth Deva's music makes vibrant to the film. 

 

The story culminates on a bittersweet and poignant note, as the unconventional bond between Priya and Markandayan. The film challenges human emotions and the power of communication through the medium of radio. Ultimately, "Priyamudan Priya" offers a thought-provoking and heartwarming exploration of the human heart and spirit.
