Guntur Kaaram

I really cant believe that movies like these exists. There is absolutely no content in the movie. It is pure 2 hour rubbish. The movie changes sequence so fast that its difficult to keep up. The only nice thing she can do is dance. Action scenes are un necessary. A fight every 5 mins just makes the movie so redundant. The movie is trying to display a very special bond that exists between a mother and a son but they have absolutely failed to do so. I dont feel bad neither for the mom nor the son. Such good actors but pure waste of talent. Old storyline with cringeworthy acting. Specially the actress. She is trying to act cute but just looks dumb.

Guntur kaaram is a Telugu film directed by Trivikram, starring, Mahesh Babu, Sree Leela, Meenakshi and others.

Director Trivikram, known for his writings and dialogues somehow failed this time to impress the audience and his true mark was missing. The film is a regular commercial film where the content can be seen rarely and the mass elements more. Being it, their 3rd venture The fans kept their expectations too high and the result was initially decided too. When launched the glimpse, felt like a feast to the fans and enough for them to get into it. Slowly, when the songs were released, people gave mixed reactions and music composer Thaman failed to generate the vibe. And the post trailer launch moments were wild as the expectations dropped and people felt routine. Now, when the movie is all ours, we are set in a dilemma, whether to accept it or not. Trivi's storytelling this time may not be satisfying.

Story is the same old faded one, where the lead Ramana (Mahesh Babu) is disowned by his mother and called again by her as the situation persists , he leads there, and helps her with the work needed. Entire film contains his journey from Guntur to Hyderabad and nothing else. Few conversations are created between the leads just to keep us engaged. The love track was kind of lovable yet, drags the screenplay. The interval has no bang and fails to create interest. And, in the 2nd half, the comedy, fights and the family drama were shown properly and has a good amount of mixed emotions in it. That's it, nothing else to be expected. This definitely has the ability to be liked by the families as the main aim is to satisfy them. Trivikram's movies have a great repeat value. Ex, Khaleja, Athadu, Jalsa. Now this is quite contrary to it .

The only positive is Mahesh Babu. He is finally back in his vintage form. Watching him act naturally brings cheers among the audience. The mannerisms and dialogue delivery stands best and having no social message should be the prime reason for audience to book the tickets. He literally gave his best, watching bob and Sree Leela dance together gives so much of high. But, Meenakshi chowdhary's character was unnecessary and this exactly reminds me of trivi saying " akkada space ledhu, space create chesukunnam".

Thaman' s bgms were quite energetic but as said earlier, the vibe was missing. DOP Manoj Paramahamsa's work was definitely impressing. Overall, this film is that type of film which is released just for the sake of a release and to give a comeback. Though the comeback by MB is satisfactory, Trivikram and Naga Vamsi (producer) are the ones responsible for the bombing of this film. It's a forceful Sankranti release, just to entertain families and to chill in theaters. The price hike of rs 115 was definitely not needed.

Truly, a good watch for the dhfms and the familes. This sankranti Atmos is a ride of vintage bob and definitely a whole new experience.

First half was enjoyable because I decreased all my expectations after first review.

Otherwise the whole movie was not even 1% of my expectations.

Mahesh Babu was amazing the remaining cast was fun to match.

Looked like the whole movie was just made for timepass and second half was never written just directed randomly.

Mahesh Babu gave 101% to the movie where Trivikram made his 1%.

The song placement was complete mess which created interruptions in a movie which itself is a big interruption.

The story itself is a big blunder felt mashup of all the mother son sentimental movies.

And the first half completely gave Ala Vaikuntapuramlo vibes even the characters and their behaviour.

The backstory of the separation was itself a big joke and the movie had no point before proper foundation.

The climax was just cringe af.

Thaman used all the remaining OST of his old movies in this movie especially Ala Vaikuntapuramlo.

The mother son REUNION where you expect emotional breakdown felt a cringe romance between mother and son.

GIVE IT A TRY FOR FIRST HALF.

First time disappointed with Trivikram direction .. Not even a single scene proves it is directed by Trivikram .. Not sure what made Mahesh babu to chose this subject .. Generally people watch people to pass the time seems Trivikram time passed with out directing .. Utter disappointment .Seems they focused on the encashing by releasing in more theatres during Sankranthi ..🙏🙏Trivikram sir we want you back don't focus on star casting and big banners ..we want your dialogues ,Screenplay we watch your movies for your work irrespective who is starred in the movie.

Producers even should know what they taking it looks no control by any department.

Honestly, it's not that bad what reviews are, certainly the first batch viewers may have different agenda. Trivikram is missing M S Narayana, Darmavarapu Subramanyam, Brahmanandam, we clearly see that void. It is out and out Mahesh Babu movies, full of mass characterization, intentionally he kept himself away from a social message, people got bored of social messages. Certainly don't look for dark stories like KGF, Salaar, not every movie and every viewer is expecting such kind of movies. Srileela justified her role, though not much scope. Prakash Raj gave a decent performance. Thaman music was okay. Overall timepass.
