Pranav Mohanlal Movies: Pranav Mohanlal, however, is no less than a firm theatrical presence in Malayalam cinema. He is descended from great stock and carries a very understated, unassuming appearance while giving absolutely sincere performances and excelling in emotional-heavy character delivery. With every film, Pranav seems to climb a stair up.
The following is a playlist of identified films that describe Pranav’s career trajectory as an emerging actor, from:
Being under Jeethu Joseph Aadhi – becomes Pranav’s first full-on lead role to catapult him into being a bankable youthful celebrity. The movie is about a musician on the run for a falsely implicated crime. Aadhi gave a great physical performance and understated acting with engaging action set-piece and genuine emotion and did get away both critically and commercially.
Thus, directing Vineeth Sreenivasan, Pranav played a part wherein he traverses the phase of youth dangling around the threshold of adulthood to reach full maturity, which, in essence, is well viewed by peers. Pranav’s image of Arun, a young man finding love, friendship, and himself, was genuine and believable in carrying the emotional weight. His honest rendition of life-along with the music, screenplay, also made that one of the most cherished Malayalam films in recent times.
However, although some reviews tagged the film as annoying, Irupathiyonnaam Noottaandu by Arun Gopy provided an opportunity for Pranav to venture into an edgier, rougher feel. Portraying Appu, a surfing enthusiast who finds himself in surprising situations, he has once again proved his ease with reasonably physically demanding roles.
Again, Directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, Varshangalkku Shesham portrays the more elegant side of Pranav with Dhyan Sreenivasan, adding an elegiac feel to the film’s themes of friendship and the passage of time.
In Priyadarshan’s grand Marakkar Pranav contributes a performance of the young Kunjali Marakkar. He does so in a very small piece in the narrative. It, however, serves as a strong piece adding emotional impact to the convoluted narrative.
