In the recently released Medhakuthu Kaalu Rendum song from Jayam Ravi’s latest film Brother, actress Priyanka Mohan has become the focal point of online critique, with many viewers expressing dissatisfaction over her dance moves and expressions. The high-energy track, intended to capture audiences with its liveliness and visual appeal, instead saw Priyanka facing backlash as fans called her performance “amateur” and “uninspired,” claiming it fell short of the track’s vibrant demands.
Social media platforms erupted with comments as fans voiced disappointment. Many viewers criticized her performance, describing her moves as “stiff” and her expressions as “lacking impact.” Comparing her recent work to her breakout role in Doctor alongside Sivakarthikeyan, several fans noted a perceived stagnation in her skill set. “It’s been years since Doctor—shouldn’t there have been some improvement by now?” one comment read, while another bluntly remarked, “Jayam Ravi is pouring his energy into every beat, but Priyanka just looks disconnected; it’s holding the whole visual back.”
For a song that demands chemistry, energy, and rhythm, Priyanka’s subdued performance was particularly noticeable next to Jayam Ravi, whose lively charisma highlighted the disparity. Some fans went so far as to suggest that her performance may have even hampered the appeal of the song, with one Twitter user writing, “Her moves feel like they lack rhythm. It’s hard to believe this is the same actress we admired in Doctor.”
Yet, in the midst of this criticism, there were those who defended Mohan, suggesting that the choreography or directorial choices may have restricted her performance. “It’s easy to blame the actress, but sometimes it’s about the direction and choreography,” a fan argued, suggesting that her apparent lack of spark may not be entirely within her control.
Ultimately, Medhakuthu Kaalu Rendum and its mixed reception underscore a larger challenge for actors like Priyanka Mohan in today’s highly competitive cinema landscape: audiences expect continuous growth, especially when it comes to key areas like dancing and on-screen dynamism. For Priyanka, the feedback surrounding Brother may be a call to re-evaluate and refine her craft if she hopes to maintain her rising-star status.
The question remains whether Priyanka will take this as an opportunity to enhance her skills or continue relying on the initial charm that captured audiences.
