GG - Gandhada Gudi

With very good social message to conserve forest and nature, this movie is the best bet for Oscar from India.

Movie is not a regular masala movie but much more than that, it doesnt bore you like documentary movies, last 30 minutes you will involve yourself deep to appreciate nature around you and think of giving back to nature.

This is best tribute from Punith for himself, no superstar would dare to go such a documentary, with so much humility he has explored our nature,culture..hats off.

Its not a must watch, but you will miss a very good movie or not appreciating the very good efforts from the team.

This docu-drama can be mistaken for a wildlife documentary from the trailer, but is truely a cinema which celebrates Karnataka's diverse natural heritage and an unforgettable experience through the eyes of our beloved "Appu". It's a total visual grandeur that make us Kannadiga's proud of our land, coupled with very beautifully composed bgm. There are - candid conversations which makes us smile unknowingly; small tales which makes us curious while listening; social messages which is not forced but need us to understand; song bites which celebrates the culture depicted; moments which connects to Appu sir and make us teary eyed. His respect and concern towards the nature and cultural heritage make us feel pride in saying he will always be our role model. This movie also felt like one last conversation personally with our Rajaratna. Just can't thank enough for this project to Amoghavarsha. Thank You for this beautiful experience.

Absolutely wonderful movie.... which shows the karnataka wildlife n western Ghats beautifully 😍... Dr. Puneet Rajkumar we miss you.. Kannada Film Industry is in its peak time... It's not a movie to rate or review !! A PURE SOUL that can be adored and experiencedThe first 15 minutes of the movie give you the impression that Appu is still here and that he hasn't left, which generates a WOW fan moment. You'll soon begin to understand that nature has freely provided everything to you and that we haven't returned anything to it. Appu has lived his dream through this movie which has great storytelling and teaches us about forest conservation. Towards the end of the film, especially the final five minutes, you start to feel... Please take your entire family to watch it on big screen and pay tribute to our APPU. We love you, APPUSee you until we meet again!

It's not a movie or a documentary, it's a feeling it's pure raw joy you get from truly enjoying the journey. And this film has not been acted but lived. It truly is an experience watching the film. It begins and ends with the nature. The cinematography is fantastic and the locations chosen for the shoot are some of the unseen treasures that should and must be left as it is.

Then again it finds a special place in my heart for various reasons. The movie is also some of the final memories that will be preserved and cherished for generations to come. And Sir we thank you for all your contribution.

Gandhada Gudi is less a documentary, more of a personal travel vlog featuring Puneeth Rajkumar and it felt all too special for this very reason. Having to be part of his journey through those must visit places in Karnataka, the way he eagerly enjoys each one of these places was a sight to behold. Every time it started feeling like a documentary, the travel vlog narrative takes over and all the places visited are edited seamlessly to ensure there is a proper flow throughout.

This was a very special film so it will be tough to review without revealing anything and it is because, it is more important to experience it on the big screen rather than listing out the places they visit here itself. The songs have been inserted well. Once again, getting to know Appu closely, to see him be "him" on screen as enjoyed everything like an innocent child, all I can is thanks to the makers for giving us audience an opportunity to witness it and be part of the journey.

I wish there was no interval. A film like this didn't need one. But again this is not a film to talk to critique based on first half and second half. The fans at the premiere show were loud initially but even they understood, the best way to enjoy every frame, every shot of the film is without making that noise. They couldn't contain their excitement at times yet they were thoughtful about enjoying every frame Appu is on and the importance to be able to listen to every word he utters. It is that important a film and I will definitely want to thank the fans for being that understanding in a sold out show.
