The main Satyadev actor “Godse” could not cause a stir before its release. Nevertheless, the makers put the film in competition with ‘Virata Parvam’.
Let’s see how this movie fared.
Story:
Politicians, businessmen and other high-profile members of society are kidnapped one by one. The government sets up a committee to negotiate with the kidnapper. ACP Vaishali (Aishwarya Lekshmi) negotiates with the kidnapper Godse.
In a lengthy conversation with Godse, Vaishali discovers that he is none other than businessman Vishwanath Ramchandra.
Why does a business tycoon kidnap many members? Why does he shorten his name to Godse? The rest of the film is about the real mission behind these kidnappings.
Artist performances:
Satyadev played the businessman-turned-vigilante Godse. In the film, he mostly just screams and speaks dialogue while sitting on a chair. He’s loud and his performance is also abysmal. In her Telugu debut, Aishwarya Lekshmi (of Jagame Thandhiram fame) is quite okay. She plays a typical detective role.
Prudhvi delivers no comedy in the role of a politician. Sijju, Noel, Brahmaji, Naga Babu and others routinely play their shallow characters.
Technical excellence:
Technical and production values are reasonable. Much of the story takes place in two rooms. The production design is decent.
The dialogues written by Pattabhi are incredibly bad and seem to be taken from newspaper articles.
Highlights:
none
Disadvantage:
Ineffective direction
Loud spectacle
Bad writing
cliche moments
analysis
With some films, just looking at the trailers gives you an idea of how bad they could be. What we didn’t expect from Godse is that the movie can be more boring than the trailer.
Directed by Gopi Ganesh Pattabhi, whose previous credits include flops like “Bluff Master” and “Romeo,” the film will test our patience from act one.
The film begins with a businessman kidnapping politicians and officers and a negotiation process begins. Satyadev sits on a chair and behaves like Vikram from ‘Aparachitudu’ and talks nonsense with the officials and government officials. The government team’s reaction is comical.
A few moments later we see the introduction of the heroine Aishwarya Lekshmi. Satyadev’s requirement to know her vitals before disclosing his demands is another low point in this messy affair.
Inspired by Hollywood films about the negotiation process, the entire first half consists of Satyadev’s monologues and Aishwarya Lekshmi’s annoyances. At the latest when the interval bang comes, we know what this fuss about kidnappings and his vigilantes is about.
Unfortunately, the second half of the film is also absolutely predictable and clichéd. The film continues to sink as the hero bypasses the Prime Minister and commands things.
The dialogues about the current system and the connection between politicians and businessmen are so hollow.
Story and script are outdated. The direction is chaotic. Even the actors seem clueless.
At the end of this film, all we can say is, “Oh God!”
bottom line: Messy and awkward
