Godha

The basic theme is wresling and women empowerment similar to the Movie Dangal. However the enire story is different and picturised in a light hearted manner. Casting is excellent and Wamiqua as heroine is wonderful choice since she looks authentic and sweet.Tovino as hero shows progress and promise, I cant imagine anyone else other than him from Malayalam industry now in this role. The background music by Shan rahman is raises the film to another level. Overall nice moie experience. And Basil as the direcor done far better after his debut 'Kunjiramayanam' and shows good cinematic sense now.

Godha narrates the story of anjaneyadas(tovino thomas) who is sent by his father captain (renji panicker) to a college in punjab for studies. There he befriends a punjabi girl adithi(wamiqa gabbi). Adithi dreams to be a wrestler but doesn't get support from her brother who is a police officer. One day das gets into a tussle with her brother and das goes back to kerala fearing her brother. Few days later, adithi enters kerala and meets das. Das makes her stay in his home. Captain who is a wrestling coach realises adithi's talent and trains her to be a wrestling champion. Rest of the film is how adithi becomes a champion. Tovino underplays as das, renji panicker gives his another best performance after jacob. Wamiqa gabbi is the star of the film who shines in acting and action. Film has lot of comedy which keeps the film lively. Shaan rahman's music and bgm is an asset. Cinematography is very great. Basil joseph makes another good village entertainer after kunjiramayanam. But the story is predictable and has a dejavu factor of dangal and sultan. On the whole godha is a sports comedy entertainer.

This movie is basically a story of a girl who loves wrestling and comes to Kerala from Punjab to fulfill her dreams.

This movie went in a perfect pace. It showed us the value of wresting in Kerala. The movie had comedy, a good story and wresting. This movie was a good family entertainer. I liked the acting of the hero and Renji Paniker. The heroine could have improved in some places. Rest of the characters did a great job in this movie. Maybe the ending had something to do with dangal but without any superstars this movie did a great job to shine in the theaters. This movie was not dragged like most of the Malayalam movies. It had nice unforgettable songs too.

Yes I would suggest this movie to everyone I know there has been many wresting movies in India now but this movie is worth a onetime watch.

Notable Acting

Renji Paniker famous for his movies like Jacobs kingdom, ohm shanthi osana, picket 43 and many more.

Tovino Thomas famous for his movies like Ennu ninte mohideen, Charlie and many more.

My Rating 8/10

This will certainly be one of the best movies of 2017, the movie belongs to Wamiqa Gabbi, she has done a terrific role which is almost tailor made for her. Tovino and Ranji Paniker have done very well.

There is never a dull moment in the film, it entertains you from start to finish and it does that with a meaningful message.

The support cast of Aju Varghese,Bijukuttan,Darmajan and the rest has also done a decent job, the jokes are refreshingly new,in fact the casting is excellent, all the actors have done justice to their respective roles.

This is a good entertainer, go watch it !!!

With Godha Basil Joseph has surely established himself as one of the dependable directors of Mollywood. The movie which revolves around wrestling is filled with comic moments and serious moments which have not failed to deliver. The direction is top notch and the music from Shan Rahman also deserves mention. The movie is well nit together with excellent editing and absence of any unnecessary scenes have surely contributed to the absence of any lag. The movie is more of a heroine movie with Wamiqqa Gabbi playing a more prominent role than Tovino Thomas. But the real star of the movie isRanjia Panikar who steels the show with his fine acting proving there is more to him as an actor than a script writer. The first fast half is fast flowing filled with humorous moments while the second half has more of a serious tone. Godha surely is a full time entertainer and arguably the beat sports movie in Malayalam film industry till date. Be sure mot to miss the movie as it will get your spirits high
