Director Gautham Ramachandran's (Richie) sophomore feature starring Sai Pallavi in the lead is without doubt one of the best films of the year. The film also marks actress Aishwarya Lekshmi's foray into production.
Set in Chennai, Sai Pallavi's Gargi is shocked to the core when her father is accussed of rape. Gargi then sets out to prove his innocence with the help of an inexperienced lawyer.
I am pretty sure this film is going to be remade in other languages (especially Hindi because the Telugu & Kannada dubbed versions already exist). And I am quite sure the casting will be disastrous because no one can match Sai Pallavi's performance as the devout daughter, Gargi. From her debut in Premam, Sai Pallavi has always been a treat to watch onscreen.
Her co-stars; Kaali Venkat plays her lawyer, Indrans. Inexperienced but the only who understands her plight. R S Shivaji as her father & Sudha S as the judge both excel in their roles. Aishwarya Lekshmi has a brief role as a journalist.
Gargi is a legal drama that rests on the very able shoulders of its cast (Sai Pallavi and Kaali Venkat) and the storytelling prowess of Hariharan Raju and Gautham Ramachandran. Do not miss this!
