Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

People are voting emotionally.

Good concept, poorly executed.

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

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.

I don't know why, when ever I watch the movie It takes me to a different world, till today I get a different feel when ever I watch the movie, and every time there is a new great feeling which I possess after watching the movie. If I meet Mr.Shekar, I would just like to give him a tight hug and shake hands with him, because nothing much I think I can do to him...Oh...Its(IMDb) asking me to write more. So another biggest asset to this movie is SINGER SUNITHA my favorite and her voice to this movie is DAM DAM DAM...! mesmerizing because her songs really make you indulge in them and give you the feel which stills hangs on to you after the movie and lastly speaking about the lead in the film Sumanth and Kamalinee Mukherji have done justice to their roles from all aspects. FINALLY THANKS TO THE GODAVARI TEAM FOR THEIR greatest offering which they have given to the audience....

I somehow got the impression that "Happy Days" was a mere fluke, however after watching "Godavari" my doubts were put to rest. Mr. Kammula surely knows to hold the reigns tight and can truly be stamped as new-age director. His body of work clearly reflects the emphasis he lays on pre-production. It would be an understatement to say that he is full hands on with technical departments.Sumanth indeed is the right choice for Mr. Ram, Sriram. His body language and mannerism truly reflects the character whose spark is missing (as opposed to the IPS officer, again apt choice).Ms. Mukhejee:: Blame it on the director who manages to extract whatever she has to offer in terms of performance thereby ending with the bar so high which simply put is "unattainable".Neetu Chandra:: Unless brought to attention, she can easily pass off as a pucca-Telugu girl. Amazing performance as the girl, who isn't sure of what she wants.Other supporting cast is adequate. Characterisation is first rate and so is the interplay (worthy to mention is Sita Mahalakshmi's and her family).Special word on the animated characters – very creative and crisp dialogues'.There seems to be a pattern emerging with regards to the misunderstanding track between the lead characters (erstwhile in Happy Days). And also the resolution to the misunderstanding clearly shows clever writing/ narrative.Songs are good – and one of them reminded me of the rain song of Gitanjali. And finally the Saree's – is that a penchant or plain fetish?PS:: An ode to Titanic perhaps? There is a blink-n-miss hint in the movie.PS(2):: Ode to "Gharana Mogudu" Chiru as well?

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.
