Godavari

By far the best Telugu movie I have seen. I am a Tamilian but I like Telugu movies. Godhavari really touched my heart, every moment of it was just pure emotions. The cute dog especially, hats-off to the creativity of the director and the graphics in-charge. Sumanth and Kamalini were great, the way Kamalini expresses her emotions in every scene is remarkable. Being a Bengali, acting and moving lips to a Telugu script must have been difficult, but she has done it with ease. The music was enchanting though I understood very little - the lyrics. The editing was also great, flawless. Hats off to the whole team of Godhavari.

I have watched this movie 50 times Love this movie like anything Street dog scenes are very nice

After the Success of "Anand". I was really waiting to see the next flick of Shekar Kammula, as I wanted to know if he can deliver yet another Master Piece. He did it again and kudos to this great talent. I am a big fan of the Director Viswanath for his caliber to make soft but highly influential movies. I was wondering if that genre is over and there is no upcoming director who can fill that slot. But I am wrong. As the saying goes "History repeats itself".

Characterization is the main asset of this movie. We feel that we are acquainted with the characters of the film from a very long time. The touch of reality given by the director w.r.t the inclination of the hero to join mainstream politics to do something for the society and the problems he faced to do that is excellent. The whole film is lively with some good comedy and great music. One can just relax and watch the movie.

There are some popular(so called) directors who say its impossible to make a hit movie without making the heroin to strip or hero fighting with goons by flying in air for half of the movie. Movies like this prove that its their inability to make such movies rather than the impossibility.

The other day when I was telling my mother how refreshing this movie was, she asked me why I thought it was so special. I said, "Imagine being out of hometown for a couple of weeks and living on junk food. When you return home and have simple homemade rice and curry, how do you feel?"

In addition to capturing life around the lifeline of Andhra, Godavari, in a laudable manner, the movie makers put together a good cast. Radhakrishna embellished the movie by wrapping Veturi's lyrics in melodious tunes. Godavari might not be remembered by Thelugus four or five decades down the line like how Lavakusa is, but it can make any given evening pleasant and memorable. Anyone who loved movies that were made by Baapu or Viswanath (or one of their ilk) will add Sekhar Kammula to their list after watching this movie.

Movies such as this salvage Thelugu cinema and rekindle hopes, in people like me, that there still are people who can make neat, simple, and straightforward Thelugu movies. Kudos to Kammula and his team!

This is a kind of film, that reflects the collective thoughts of the current generation.You can't even find a single irrelevant scene in this movie, and each and every character in this film was sketched neatly for some reason. Please watch this with out fail. Particularly the way director portrayed Godavari and the people belonging to this region was natural.With in just 15 minutes after the title cards, you can feel the importance of all the characters. Particularly Tanikella bharani(Boat Owner), pullatla pullamma and the balloon seller (kid) characters were very entertaining and helped in maintaining the flow of the film very well. excellent performance from sumanth, kamalini and sekhar kammula till date.
