Following its theatrical release, viewers who attended the early shows began sharing their impressions on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). These reactions, while not formal reviews, have offered an early sense of how the initial audience is engaging with the film. As is common on a film’s opening day, more detailed reviews and critical responses are expected to emerge over the next few hours.
#Prakambanam had a variety storyline,and I never felt bored at any point.I did expect more humour overall but it was present only here and there but some scenes genuinely made me laugh a lot😂, especially towards the climax. #SagarSurya was awesome and definitely stood out.
