Gaganachari

If you love malayalam movies and if you are looking for something different, Gaganachari is a must watch.

In my opinion Gaganachari could be seen as South Park special fused with Rick and Morty theme. What that entails is a movie with over-the-top satire, pop-culture references and layered societal commentary. The movie is a testament to director's (Arun Chandu) vision and execution as the movie makes use of GenAI skillfully to remain within the constraints of a tight budget. Hats off to the producer (Ajith Vinayaka) for taking the risk to produce such an experimental movie (SciFi, Alien, Sattire, 4:3) knowing well this will mostly fail. This is precisely we should encourage such content as it is bold, fresh and sets a precedent. If such advents do not get any recognition, we will be stuck in the past. The movie is certainly not for everyone but underneath the main plot the movie offers depth and ton of Easter eggs. The movie is ahead of it's time and is sure to have a cult following just like Devadhoothan Churuli, BigB, etc. Special mention to Meraki, Bava and Sankar Sharma. Hats off and I cannot wait to see your next product.

The surreal mix of post-apocalyptic dystopia and absurd comedy might feel overwhelming for some, but it's also what makes this film memorable.

Can't think of any other mollywood flick that makes use of such multi-genre possibilities.

Bleakness of a post-apocalyptic world meets the light-heartedness of satire and mockumentary, creating a film that's as unpredictable as it is unsettlingly hilarious.

It's both absurdly entertaining and uncannily insightful, offering viewers a chance to lose themselves in a world that is as bizarre as it is reflective of our own.

It's a landmark movie in Malayalam for sure and is going to be discussed and analysed in future.

A very good attempt at a proper sci-fi satire rooted in Kerala. The dystopian United States of Kerala with the overgrown vegetation over the buildings was set up pretty nicely. All the Malayalam pop culture references were so fun to watch, and the updates given to some were definitely the most laugh-out-loud moments. Gokul Suresh's dialogues referencing his father were also really great. But it meant that this was primarily for the 90s kids. If the comedic aspect of Gokul Suresh's character was reduced, I would've painfully felt like relating to that character, but I don't want to that much, lol. The use of traditional murals to playfully convey some ideas and the ending twist etc made its satiric approach work really great. The insistence on rituals and their powers at that point, the lies, the murals etc can be read together as why our society is like this today. The visual effects were great for what it is, but the extensive use of AI images is a turn-off for me. Even in music, there was a very derivative quality to it that I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be references or not.

An unprecedented experience in the Malayalam film industry. Gaganachari is a futuristic experimental product. Creativity on a peak level. Change is here. The crew behind the screen had done beyond meritorious work especially the art team. And the cast cannot be left unspoken. Performance by Gokul, Anarkali and moreover Ganesh sir was promising than before. Aju Varghese has done it again. The soothing background score gets you immersed into the vibe. An admirable movie, still not so acceptable by all of the audience. A heartfelt appreciation for the brave efforts. Longing for more from the team.

Set in Dystopian Future in Kerala ,this Alien pic is Amusing , focused more on Satire and Comic moments to enjoy !

Casting is really worked here , a Different AND impactful role for Ganesh Kumar and Aju Varghese is cool and Gokul Suresh steal the show for me and anarkali marikar is perfect as eliyamma aka alien !

Scripting by arun chandu is Innovative and Experimental ! And background score and all other technical department are in Top Quality !
