Geetha Govindham - Movie Review


New star in the town "Vijay Devarakonda"s next release after 1 year of the sensational "Arjun Reddy". So obviously all eyes are on this movie. Also the 2nd movie for "Rashmika Mandana" after successful debut with "Chalo". Let's see how this turned out

Story :-

Vijay Govind is a decent, traditional boy desperately waits to meet a traditional girl to get married and fulfil his dream of an ideal family. He finds his dream girl Geetha and by the time he gathers guts to propose her, a mistake happens from his end and the girl starts hating him. Icing on the cake is they become relatives with a marriage and need to take care of the marriage related works together. How these two come together forms the story.

Performances :-

Transformation of Vijay from spoilt brat in Arjun Reddy to the decent dignified Govind was phenomenal. He convinced you as a alcohol addicted medico earlier and with same conviction he carried this role and mesmerises you. A star is under making and don't get shocked if he becomes next "Pawan  Kalyan". Requesting heroine throughout the movie with "Madam, Madam", emotional scenes, comedy, anger, everything was natural. Rashmika was perfect choice for Geetha and feel no one would have better suited for this role. Their combo clicked big time. Entire movie is dependent on these two and they did with ease. Subba Raju has got his standard brother role and he is good at it. Nagababu, Giribabu, etc have very limited roles. Rahul Ramakrishna gets a meatier role and he was flawless in it. Vennela Kishore in the last 30 mins brings the much needed comic relief in emotional scenes. He takes the movie to next level with Rahul Ramakrishna and Annapurna Garu.

Technicians :-

A well deserved hit for the long struggling talented writer and director "Parashuram". His first movie Yuvatha released in 2008 and it's been a decade. He has been attempting on regular basis with Solo, Anjaneyulu, Saarocharu, Sreerastu Shubamastu but couldn't get that exact break. Geetha Govindham proved his worth. Perfect entertainer with apt casting and crew made this possible. Major asset of the film are it's dialogues. It has been long time since I laughed my heart out, which happened with this movie. Excellent situations and dialogues, especially the bus episodes. Next credit goes to music director "Gopi Sundar". Superb album with all good songs accompanied by good visuals. Photography has been complimenting while editing is crisp.

Highlights :-

Vijay & Rashmika
Dialogues
Songs

Negatives :-

Few episodes in 2nd half which feel a bit dragged.

Summary :-

This is a wholesome family entertainer after a long time, I would say after "Bhale Bhale Magadivoy". Without much competition except from "Goodachari" this movie is going to shake box office for sure. This has repeat audience for sure.

Rating - 4/5 (Must Watch Entertainer)
