Analysis :
Prasthanam about political ambition and corruption leading
to downfall and tragedy in a family. The drama unfolds
around one family. Sanjay Dutt plays Baldev Pratap Singh,
a man with political ambitions, which gets fast-tracked
when he is handed over charge of a rural power centre.
He cements his hold when he agrees to marry the dying
leader’s widowed daughter-in-law and adopt her two
children.
Baldev is a powerful leader who is bracing to fight to retain
his seat. His sons are his Achilles Heel. Saroj (Manisha
Koirala) is mother to Ayush and Palak but the birth of her
third child, her son with Baldev, creates a rift between the
stepchildren. The grown up Ayush (Ali Fazal) is a measured

reins from Baldev. Palak (Chahat Khanna) is estranged
from the family, resentful of her mother for remarrying and
Final Word:
Prassthanam is built on countless conflicts, awash
with textbook characters and dated in its story-telling.
