Buried somewhere deep inside Prasanth aka Pachu is a good heart, but he is someone who won’t usually bother extending even the smallest of help to others unless he stands to benefit from it. Those who come in touch with him also seem to have an idea about this aspect of his character, which they tap at will to get their things done. Just like Prasanth, none of them are evil characters, although some happen to have varying amounts of negative shades.
While watching Akhil Sathyan’s debut movie Pachuvum Athbuthavilakkum, it almost feels like one is back in a familiar world of close-knit families and caring people we are so often used to watching in his father Sathyan Anthikad’s later films. Yet, Akhil seems to have his own distinct way of going about it, a method marked by some delicate touches and ease of extracting the right quantity of emotions from most scenes, without overdoing it.
