Chethan Raju Gari Gadhi Movie ReviewWhat is the film about?
There is a mystery mahal in the outskirts of city where random murders occur. To cash in on the mystery a reality show is conducted where the winner gets a sum of 3 Cr. Who the winner is and what is the mystery behind the mahal is what the film is about.

How is Ashwin’s performance??
Ashwin has the body for an action film but he completely lacks the expression and voice required for the same. He is fine as long as he doesn’t talk and is used as part of a group, the moment he tries to lead his short comings surfaces. In the climax this becomes a huge problem where everything rests on him. He just isn’t able to pull it off.


Omkar Raju Gari Gadhi Movie ReviewDirection By Omkar?
This is the second film from Ohmkar after Genius. In terms of story clearly his debut was a better film which should be made clear at the outset. Now coming to execution the director has shown no real progress but the good thing is he hasn’t regressed as well. He executes some scenes brilliantly, in terms of comedy, where the actor’s are up to the game as well. However, when it comes to the core story he fails, as the acting talent at work is poor.

The film is filled with comedy blocks throughout and many of those despite their over the top nature have worked. It’s the primary plot that’s dull and predictable and flat. This creates narrative inconsistencies which are hard to ignore and ultimately mar the movie going experience.


Dhanya Balakrishnan Chethan Raju Gari Gadhi Movie ReviewOther artist’s performance?
There are many actors in the film who have defined parts of their own. The comedians lead the pack and deliver, where as the other dramatic artists either are completely overshadowed or embarrassingly over the top. Among the two comedians Dhanraj and Shakalaka Shankar, the latter is a scream. If there is one thing that people would remember coming out of cinemas it would be his act. Chaitanya hams it up like no end when the time comes. Vidyuraman is decent when underlying but is unbearable otherwise. Dhanya Balakrishna and Poorna are wasted. Sapthagiri is wasted in cameo after a brilliant intro.

Music and other departments?
Musically there is nothing in the film. It’s the background score that matters here and it’s done neatly. Editing could have been better. Cinematography is below par. Dialogues by Sai Madhav Burra are fine to some extent but they are unnecessarily lengthy and preachy at times.

Alternative Take
The issue that’s taken as part of core plot is a serious one and good. Better screenplay filled with more seriousness and integrated humor bits in parts like we saw recently in some recent Tamil horror flicks would be an exciting alternative take.

Did I enjoy it?
Only few entertainment bits.

Will you recommend it?
Only if you have no other option to kill time.
