Gam Gam Ganesha review. Gam Gam Ganesha Bollywood movie review, story, rating

Gum Gum Ganesha centers around a small-time thief whose big-dreaming, ambitious plan gets him caught up in a series of sticky situations during Ganesh Chaturthi. The story follows the thief’s journey as he finds a way to navigate and overcome these difficulties.

Story:

After a series of painful events, thief Ganesh (Anand Devarakonda) decides to achieve something greater in life. These events, including personal tragedy and betrayal, shape his outlook and fuel his ambition. As Ganesh pursues his grandiose plan, his actions lead him into a complex web of events involving various characters.

Shruti (Nayan Sarika) is a pivotal character in Ganesh’s life, providing him with support and guidance. Neelaveni (Pragati Srivatsav) represents the moral dilemma Ganesh faces as he has to control his feelings for her while remaining true to his ambitions. Kishore Reddy (Raj Arjun) is a formidable opponent and his conflict with Ganesh adds depth to the story.

David (Vennela Kishore) provides a comical spin amidst the tension, Rajval (Sathyam Rajesh) and Arun Satharia (Prince) play key roles in Ganesh’s journey, each influencing his decisions in their own way, while Shankar (Jabardast Emmanuel) and Rudra (Krishna Chaitanya) add twists to the tale, challenging Ganesh and leading him to his ultimate destiny.

Together, these characters form a complex and fascinating story that shows Ganesh’s growth as he struggles with his past, his current situation and the people around him.

analysis:

Anand Devarakonda delivered a strong performance in a different, more commercial role, showcasing his versatility and dedication to his work. Though his initial behaviour may have irritated some viewers, he ultimately won them over with his performance. However, his dialogue delivery could be improved.

The film has no prominent female lead, which may disappoint some viewers. Nayan Sarika and Pragathy Srivatsav make brief appearances, mainly in song sequences. In supporting roles, Vennela Kishore shines and Sathyam Rajesh also gives an adequate performance. Raj Arjun makes no impression, but Prince, Jabardast Emmanuel and Krishna Chaitanya do what they are asked to do.

Director Uday Bommisetti hopes to entertain audiences with his crime comedy, packing in plenty of jokes and injecting a wacky atmosphere into the content. However, the effort falls flat. The first half of the film lacks any real development, relying on flippant scenes to propel the story forward. The second half becomes even more confusing and inconsistent. While a few comedic moments work, most feel hackneyed and the climax provides more confusion than resolution.

Chaitan Bharadwaj’s music lacks impact and tends to hinder rather than enhance the film. However, he makes up for it with a notable background score that enhances the overall viewing experience. Aditya Javadi’s cinematography effectively captures the rustic atmosphere of the village. However, Karthika Srinivas’ editing is poor, cutting out many lengthy scenes and failing to maintain a consistent pace. Despite these shortcomings, the film boasts good production values.

verdict:

Anand Devarakonda has poured his heart and soul into his role in “Gum Gum Ganesha” and delivered a commendable performance. Uday Bommisetti entertains the audience in “Gum Gum Ganesha”, but with a few more tweaks to the script and some more funnier scenes the result could have been better.
