Pushpaka Vimanam Analysis

Pushpaka Vimanam

Written and Directed by: Damodara
Starring: Anand Devarakonda, Geet Saini, Saanve Megghana.
Spoilers Alert.

The film essentially has two premises. One, is about how a married man tries to hide to people that his wife has eloped. It has a fun tone to it. He is embarrassed, and he doesn't know how to deal with the situation. He's also heartbroken, lonely and frustrated. But he's trying to mask it all by putting up a facade. It's endearing to see the vulnerability. Here, they have a few physical conflicts as to how he covers it up. After this, the second premise makes a big turn in the film, the tone changes, it's almost like it's Andhadun suddenly. Shit gets real. From there, it goes into another territory by retaining the fun tone. What I felt was, the subplot of Akash, should've been revealed earlier so that some cards are open to the audience and they keep guessing.

The film was fun and engaging. I liked how they explored his heartbreak through him venting near her wife's friend. The choice of who the killer is, is interesting. I didn't expect it'd be him. But his reason for killing could've been something more. Because after so much mystery, when you see that it's someone who had an urge and they attacked her, it feels a bit convenient. You could close any woman's murder mystery like this, by saying that someone around had an urge and raped/killed her. But apart from these small things, I loved the film.
