A couple trying to deceive their families to get married is a beaten-to-death narrative and this Vikrant Massey and Kriti starrer falls under the same category. The climax portion is silly but it serves the purpose i.e, leave the viewers in splits.ġ4 Phere has a wafer thin plot and there is zero depth in the story. The situational comedy that has been generated through the tricky situations the lead pair find themselves in is good in parts. Vikrant is particularly good in comical sequences. Both the actors come up with fine performances. Vikrant and Kriti share a sparkling chemistry and they make a good-looking couple on screen. Can the couple trick their families and get married? After understanding that their families won’t let them get married, the couple devise a wicked plan to trick their parents. They go on to work in the same company and are in a live-in relationship. Story: Sanjay (Vikrant) and Aditi (Kriti) meet each other in college and eventually fall in love. Apart from that, there is nothing much the film showcases and ends as a below-par and dull watch this weekend.Starring : Vikrant Massey, Kriti Kharbanda Shriya Saran is the pick of the star cast and does her role on an impressive note. On the whole, Gamanam has a good backdrop but is marred by dull narration and slow pace. The problems showcased do not create much impact on the audience and the slow pace also plays a spoilsport. The required conflict is also not established well. However, editing could have been better.Ĭoming to the director Sujana Rao, her story idea, backdrop, and characterizations are good but her narration was very dull. Dialogues are good and so were the music and BGM by legendary Ilaiyaraaja. The camerawork by Gnana Shekar needs a special mention as the old city visuals are impressive. The production values of the film are pretty good and showcase the three different stories in a wonderful manner. The film does not move you emotionally even though the plot had good scope for it. Also, it is hard to understand why such a noted actress like Nithya Menen was there in the film. The film’s narration is jaded as the climax is filled with unnecessary thrills. Also, the emotions showcased between the key characters are not established properly in the first half. The film takes forever to enter into the main conflict point. The first half is dull and the drama showcased lacks sheen.Īlso, one of the biggest drawbacks of the film is the slow pace. The production design and the way Shriya’s episode of getting stuck in the floods has been designed well.īy looking at the promos, one would assume that the director will somehow connect the three stories.
The second half is filled with scenes related to floods and the emotions that each of the characters goes through during this time have been showcased on a decent note. The young actors who played homeless kids were very good. Senior actor Charu Haasan is neat in his emotional character. Shiva gets ample scope to emote and he is good in all the emotional scenes. Young actor, Shiva Kandukuri plays an aspiring cricketer quite well. Priyanka Jawalkar is good as Zara but gets a limited screen presence. The inner turmoil that Shriya’s character faces is showcased well by the star heroine. She as a deaf and helpless mom does quite well in her role. Gamanam is Shriya’s comeback project and she is exceptional in the film. How all these different stories face this deadly situation and what happens to them is the basic story of Gamanam. This is also the time when heavy floods create havoc in Hyderabad. The last story features two homeless kids whose aim is to buy a cake and celebrate their birthdays. In the second story, Ali played by Shiva Kandukuri dreams of making it big in the cricketing field. The first story has Shriya Saran playing a deaf mom who is waiting for her husband to come back from Dubai. The film is based on three different stories. The film directed by Sujana Rao has been released today. Gamanam is a film that has been promoted a lot in the last few days.
