Radha Mohan proves that he can surprise you with a high adrenaline thriller like Payanam. Diversifying, he is, it is also pleasant to note that he has employed clever dry humour across the movie’s plot aided with smart dialogues.

Trade Talk:
Payanam has been fairly successful in urban, especially multiplex centers – so to say.

Public Talk:
Prakash Raj and Nagarjuna are brilliant as they usually are, infusing life into the characters they play.
