Indian Express slams Mammootty‑Nayanthara’s ‘Thikaraveeran’ as a ‘Pramod Pappanic’ flop

The Indian Express published a review titled “A ‘Pramod Pappanic Approach’: How Mammootty, Nayanthara’s Thikaraveeran went horribly wrong.” The piece focuses on the recent film starring veteran actors Mammootty and Nayanthara, assessing its overall execution.

The review labels the film’s creative strategy as a “Pramod Pappanic Approach,” a term the newspaper uses to suggest a misguided or overly formulaic method. It argues that this approach undermined the narrative and failed to deliver the expected impact.

According to the article, the combination of star power and high expectations did not translate into a successful outcome, with the film falling short of critical and audience standards. The Indian Express concludes that the movie’s shortcomings are evident in its execution and overall reception.
