Tapsee Pannu has also played a village girl in Gundello Godari. She has more scope in the first half and she looks good in lehanga choli. Her chemistry with Aadi is also good.

Others like Murali Mohan, Annapurna, Jeeva, Ravi Babu, Praveen and Dhan Raj have done justice to their respective roles. Mumaith Khan is sure to rock you with her item dance.

Analysis:

Gundello Godari opens with the scenes of heavy rainfall and the film soon goes into flashback mode, which reveals the love story between Aadi and Tapsee. But the first half gives little hint about the natural calamity and it throws more focus on the love story between two lead pairs. The first hour has three beautiful songs including one item number and a fight sequence. Despite not having comedy, it is quite interesting.

The second half heads to reveal the romance between Sundeep and Lakshmi in the first 30 minutes, which seems to be slow and dragging at times. Then the film shifts back to flooding scene. The climax is amazing and the camera and CGI works and background score in it are superb and it is a visual treat.

Fisherman Malli (Aadi) and Chitra (Lakshmi Manchu) are a newly wed couple. They decide to narrate the past life, when they lose hope of survival due to devastating flood. Malli reveals his ambition to buy a fishing boat and his romance with a fishing merchant’s daughter Sarala (Tapsee). Meanwhile, Chitra also reveals her love story with Suri (Sundeep Kishan). What made them break up with their loved ones? Will their confessions affect their relationship? Will they survive the flood? The answers to these questions should be seen on screen.

Final Wod: Overall, Gundello Godari is a commendable effort from Lakshmi Manchu.Wonderful attempt by Kumar Nagendra. It has superb performances by lead actors and excellent production values. This romantic entertainer will certainly live up to the expectations that it had created prior its release.Gundello Godari can be watched for its strong Telugu Centric Subject and Good Narration.
