WOW, I was so surprised by this film. When i saw the first look of the movie i expected it to be a regular Telugu movie, but i was dead wrong. A hijack drama is quite new to Telugu film industry. Radha Mohan has to be commended for his attempt. The screenplay was tight, it maintained the suspense through out the movie. The interval twist was bang on !!!.
Nagarjuna was awesome in the role of an NSG commando. He is known for romantic roles with at least 2 female leads and duet songs in the movie, but this movie is an entire contrast. No songs, No Romance, No lead actresses at all. The movie sticks to the point. Bharath also did a good job as the sub ordinate of Nagarjuna. There is no separate entertainment thread in the movie, all we have is suspense which goes till the end. Episodes involving Bramhanandam, Prudhvi and his obsessed fan are hilarious.
The last 10 min countdown climax is seriously brilliant, Editing was so good. Truly edge of the seat stuff. Nagarjuna & Radha Mohan should be commended for making such a good film. I expect these sort of movies in the future
10/10 for this film... LOVE GAGANAM

A flight takes off from Chennai and destined to New Delhi. It is hijacked by a group of terrorists and the flight is forcibly landed in Tirupati due to a technical snag. The hijackers want the release of their leader Yousuf (a dreaded terrorist). Viswanath (Prakash Raj) is the national home secretary and he negotiates with the terrorists. Raveendra (Nagarjuna) heads the team of National Security Guards. The government decides to release Yousuf and something unexpected happens which leads the entire process to go haywire. The rest of the story is all about how Raveendra plans a strategy and saves the passengers.
Nagarjuna is probably one of the huge heroes of Telugu cinema who doesn't give a damn about formulas and commercial elements if he sees something special in the story element or in the director. Gaganam is a kind of movie where Nagarjuna's image helps the movie in attracting wider range of audiences. Nagarjuna plays the role of a National Security Guard who is torn between government decision and his natural instincts. Nagarjuna came up with a fabulous performance as NSG commando.
The movie is different... Totally good movie in Nags carrier... Bramhi comedy is awesome... Nag Action is fabulous... Worth spending time......

What is a Telugu film? Bashing intro of hero bashes 50 to 100 rowdies+Intro song(Praising hero for his supernatural powers) and non-stop dialogues which will cause stop the trains and Planes(hero will stop with dialogues and hit his thigh) Some people always encourage this kind of stuff from ages, that's why Telugu film is like 'frog in a well' kind trend from years and years.
Can we break this stupid things in Telugu cinema? Yes the answer is 'Gaganam(Telugu)/Payanam(Tamil) There is no 'Tata Sumos' are flying in the air with one vigil, there are no heroins, there are no punch dialogues.
But this film stick audiences like glue, tight screenplay, good direction, nice humor, well heart-touching scenes and excellent performances by Nagarjuna and Prakash Raj.
This film is welcome change in TFI(Telugu Film Industry) We should appreciate RadhaMohan, PrakashRaj, Dil Raju and Telugu Super Star Nagarjuna's efforts and the amount of risk taken, But the final output is 'Path Breaking and Trendsetting movie' in Indian Films.

title: gaganam
opening statement: definite innovative paced taut thriller that would keep the viewers edge of seats.
the case: hijack drama
the fate: predictable movie since many of such movies have been seen.
the charge: operation gaganam
evidence: there are definite proofs to show that this movie is different. the various evidences include the near 100% screenplay with perfect narration. secondly the direction of the movie. right from the title flying with, in the sky showing the map of India, with the introduction to various characters is perfect and the viewers are caught well with it, thirdly is the cinematography and the camera work done inside a hijacked plane. good movement of the camera along with subtitles at required stages gives a grip. fourthly is the change in screenplay from serious mood to a soothing humorous mood. some interjections of comedy for about 5 minutes would relieve the viewers from a serious mood. and finally the fifth and last is the cast performances. their performance is picture perfect and every character in the movie has got an important role.
facts regarding the charge: we see that the main hero nagarjuna as NSG commando utters the word. from then onwards the movie goes at a rapid pace. the climax almost builds well. the statement is really good and thus the viewers stick to the seats till the credits fall.
closing statement: a definite innovative thriller. the predictable script becomes unpredictable at the rapid pace the movie moves. the viewers are left stunned at the end as the movie concludes. this one is a sure shot movie that has hit the bulls eye
verdict: very good
