    Very much appealing for the younger generation

    Must watch movie!! The movie is very much appealing for the younger generation who are value the relationship with parents, if not this teach you to do so. movie realizes how people are falling apart from their relationships. there are moments that make you say 'yes this happens!'.

    Ananth nag's acting is mind blowing and heart touching and Splendid performance from Achyut kumar as well who makes you laugh in between !Hemanth has taken a Experimental subject and I believe this is new to kannada Industry.A bow to the whole crew who made this movie successful.

    'Godhi Banna Sadharana mykattu' is a well-written, good performed movie.

    Another beautiful experience in KFI

    He smiles - you smile, He talks - you laugh and he narrates a beautiful story - you carefully listen to it & shed tears later! Such was Anant Nag's character and performance <3 My expectations were sky high and I was nowhere disappointed! Wow! Anant Nag sir finally gets a role he deserved and I don't mind watching Venkob Rao all day :D The movie kick starts right away from the opening credits with an amazing track(Ranga bhoomiye) & visuals and goes with a perfect pace till the Interval! Would easily give 5/5 for 1st half. Even a subtle way of narration gave me goosebumps at many places! That's an art for sure. 2nd half gets kinda repetitive and little dragged but has an amazing sequence to look forward to , which made me cry! Probably one of the best scenes I've ever watched! And it was not even a sad story! Love it when happy things can make you cry. Have concerns about few plot points but when the movie & characters are so beautiful, it's very difficult to complain!

    Movie offered me more than what I expected, I went to watch my darling Anant and there was an equally brilliant character 'Ranga' and Vasishta portrayed it perfectly! En kadak voice guru! He's a brilliant actor to look forward to! And then there's Achyuth Rao who never disappoints! About Rakshit I don't have much complaints - his character pisses you off and also makes us feel for him & understand his situation so we can safely say that he did a good job! Sruthi was apt! Their relationship & the journey was shown in a very interesting way and watch out for the ending! :) Although I wish the spotlight should have been on 'GBSM' in the last shot!

    Music was one more wow factor of GBSM. Sadly I couldn't appreciate it much before the movie but listening to it with the visuals was the best experience! And I loved most of the songs! Charan does an amazing job even in BGM!

    Hemanth is an extremely talented story-teller. He establishes so many themes and conveys it very well! His writing is nearly flawless and he also tries to surprise you at many places even in a drama! Liked the subplot of vasishta which was handled very well. The dialogues especially deserves more credit! Because it wasn't over the top or too Kanglishy or too random or forceful. It's just neat, sensible and perfect! I'm a fan already! Keep going brother :D

    Thanks Hemanth, Pushkar and team for giving such a gem to cherish <3 Watch it for Sri Sir Anantnag ji, Vasishta & mainly for the beautiful experience! :)

    In the last 15 years, I haven't come across such an exceptional script. !! exceptional acting by Ananth nag sir and others

    Hemanth M.Rao's Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu takes you and your consciousness to a whole new journey . Carries a Good Message for those Children who stay away from their Parents during their old-Age.Watching this made me realize the value of family. Back Ground Music, Camera work, Lyrics are the highlights. Simple story, well presented.

    If u don't watch this, u are missing something great.

    Talking about performances Ananth Nag looks at his usual best depicting the role of an Alzheimer patient. Rakshit Shetty also looks convincing playing his son. All the other supporting actors of the movie seem to justify their characters .

    A Classic

    Every aspect of movie is new and aspiring. If anyone wants a break and have refreshing experience amidst same old romantic-drama-action-comedy formula movies, this movie is for you. Movies are a way of story-telling, a story can be very simple but the way its told matters and here is a movie which goes deeper than that touching your soul. Unforgettable characters, dialogues, relationship-quotients, emotions and songs. Mesmerizing performances by all especially by Ananth Nag Sir. Its magical how all the things have come together in movie making. It was a delight to watch this movie. Watch it because you never know whether this kind of movie will be ever made again.

    An honest portrayal of relationship midst chaos

    So whats the film about? There have been numerous films based on Alzheimer's but probably this is the first time Alzheimer's has been explored in Kannada cinema. "Alzheimer's" and "Missing" these two terms always go together. Uncountable cases of people who have this disorder missing and the thought of an elder person goes missing is a natural incident. personally I have seen a couple of instances, the pain and the distress the family undergoes in search of the missing person. Hemanth has tapped in this situation as an engaging plot and has showcased it in a contemporary setup fixing the locations in and around Bangalore. He has moved away from the stereotypical film making and has tried to bring in a new sense with the characters that make the film. What we get to watch is series of incidents that bind the characters leading to transformation. Even though the film projects the father son relationship as the main track there is another parallel track with a crime angle. Hemanth has managed to keep these two tracks progressing at a slow pace and when these tracks meet the film takes a turn. Venkoba Rao's character played brilliantly by Ananth Nag is something that we can easily connect to. We have grown up watching such kind of personalities in our families. Some one following a routine of morning walks, laughter club, watching cricket on TV and passing comments on players, usually bad. Isn't this something that happens in our house? Ananth Nag is undoubtedly a fine actor and is a perfect match for this role. The narrative had scope to make more use of him, however he has limited appearance, makes me feel that his role is underwritten. His natural mannerisms, the smile that he flashes brings out the innocence much needed for the character. Bengaluru has many IT professionals who are seen and referred to as stressed bunch. (Not completely true though). The stressful job, the back to back phone calls and internet have taken priority over family life. The elders in the family knowingly or unknowingly are getting neglected. This is quite a happening situation in most of the families here. Siva Rao played by Rakshit Shetty is one such character. Its quite a different forte for him and it is quite commendable of him to accept playing such roles. There are instances where he struggles (the beginning of the film) but as the film progresses his performance gets better. Giving out emotions is a real hard task. He still needs to evolve as an actor. Its good to see him pick character oriented roles than the usual heroism ones and that will surely fetch him accolades.. Shruthi Hariharan is brilliant as Sahana, a doctor / caretaker of Venkoba Rao. She is the perfect cast for the role. After Lucia this probably is the only Kannada film which has used her skills sensibly. I feel sorry as most of the filmmakers fail to realize that. Hope she gets in more opportunities. Vashishta plays Ranganna, the bad guy and has an amazing screen presence. His character has a broader graph. He is rough and tough and that seems to have helped in playing the character in a natural way. Witnessing his performance i wish he will get in more offers. Achyut Kumar plays a minimal role but he manages to grab attention through his comical mannerisms. Technically the film is good in some parts and bad in some. The camera-work is "okayish" kind, the main problem seems to be that of lighting. The framing in most of the parts seems to have been done without giving much thought. There are several instances where jerky camera movements can be noticed. The sound design seems to be effective in most parts of the film however there is this problem of lip sync which is quite evident in the initial scenes. Somehow as the film progresses this problem seems to go. Music by Charan is one unique aspect that truly lifts the film. The "Ayomaya" track is outstanding! Though it is loud in some parts it doesn't harm the experience. The editing has issues but it depends again on how seamlessly the narrative was captured visually. The film at times seemed to lag. Overall its definitely a watchable film. Probably its one of its kind Kannada film. Such kind of films may come in the near future but it depends on how audience accept this one. Having watched the film and knowing our audience i am pretty sure they will like this film. There are several reasons to like this film. Its a nice blend of commercial and sensible narrative. We have been appreciating several new filmmakers and their experiments. This too deserves appreciation. There is lot of honesty that i see in the film. However the film is not short of issues. If seriously thought about there are several holes in the plot. For me the letdown was the emotional part that i expected to see more seems to have gone "missing". The subtle treatment which was much talked about really dint really have that impact on screen. It looked too casual for a film which was supposed to be high on emotions. The father son relationship could have been the track to be concentrated. As the narrative progresses the shift seems to be more on the crime track than the main. GBSM definitely is a welcome change and will get crowd falling for it.
