Gundello Godari

a love story that is set against the backdrop of 1986 floods of Godavari. It's a movie with raw emotions and realistic content Plus points of the film are casting, realistic approach, music and technical elements.Songs and background music by Ilayaraja forms the major strength of the movie. A film of this nature sans regular commercial elements need a big support from technical departments and Ilayaraja's background music helped in creating a feel. Cinematography by Palani is another asset. He has created a mood for flood scenes and night shots with his good cinematography. Dialogues are natural. Graphics work makes us relive the floods. Since it's a film set in backdrop of 1986 floods, extreme care has been taken. The costumes and hairstyle remind us of 80's. The posters used as backdrop are from popular 80's films (Agni Parvatham, Vetagadu, Goonda etc). Ilayaraja has used his popular tunes from 80's (Banthi Chemanthi…) as radio songs in few occasions in first half. Producer Lakshmi Manchu surely has a lot of guts to make a film like 'Gundello Godari' that defies regular format and tries something that is really new.
