Godavari (2006)

Absolutely amazing

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Godavari is the movie directed by the famous Telugu movie director Shekhar Kammula.The movie has been mostly shot on a boat that travels between Rajahmundry and badrachalam on Godavari river and scenes are natural,the whole scenes are mesmerizing.you can have laugh whenever the animated dog speaks . Godavari has been shot not in dandakranyam.but on the river.characters mostly resemble of those in everyday life . The plot is love between an egoist lady and smooth ,humanitarian .The woman presents herself an individual and disrespectful when one condemns her.is this ego ?yet the character is beautiful ly carved.the protagonist is ever helpful and always indulging wants to marry his relative but refused by the father of the girl due to his volatile behaviour. Though sumanth character is a smooth ,helping individual,he played superbly as it suited him. The second half of movie is dragged and hurried .if some more picturesque scenes are added,it would have been a great pick

This is a kind of film, that reflects the collective thoughts of the current generation.You can't even find a single irrelevant scene in this movie, and each and every character in this film was sketched neatly for some reason. Please watch this with out fail. Particularly the way director portrayed Godavari and the people belonging to this region was natural.With in just 15 minutes after the title cards, you can feel the importance of all the characters. Particularly Tanikella bharani(Boat Owner), pullatla pullamma and the balloon seller (kid) characters were very entertaining and helped in maintaining the flow of the film very well. excellent performance from sumanth, kamalini and sekhar kammula till date.

By far the best Telugu movie I have seen. I am a Tamilian but I like Telugu movies. Godhavari really touched my heart, every moment of it was just pure emotions. The cute dog especially, hats-off to the creativity of the director and the graphics in-charge. Sumanth and Kamalini were great, the way Kamalini expresses her emotions in every scene is remarkable. Being a Bengali, acting and moving lips to a Telugu script must have been difficult, but she has done it with ease. The music was enchanting though I understood very little - the lyrics. The editing was also great, flawless. Hats off to the whole team of Godhavari.Suresh N

After the Success of "Anand". I was really waiting to see the next flick of Shekar Kammula, as I wanted to know if he can deliver yet another Master Piece. He did it again and kudos to this great talent. I am a big fan of the Director Viswanath for his caliber to make soft but highly influential movies. I was wondering if that genre is over and there is no upcoming director who can fill that slot. But I am wrong. As the saying goes "History repeats itself".Characterization is the main asset of this movie. We feel that we are acquainted with the characters of the film from a very long time. The touch of reality given by the director w.r.t the inclination of the hero to join mainstream politics to do something for the society and the problems he faced to do that is excellent. The whole film is lively with some good comedy and great music. One can just relax and watch the movie.There are some popular(so called) directors who say its impossible to make a hit movie without making the heroin to strip or hero fighting with goons by flying in air for half of the movie. Movies like this prove that its their inability to make such movies rather than the impossibility.
