Behind the Screens:
Director Ohmkar’s 2015 Horror Comedy, Raju Gari Gadhi is one of the biggest hits of that year at box-office. It has got profits to everyone involved in the trade. A second part of the film is being made as Raju Gari Gadhi-2 with Akkineni Nagarjuna which was inspired from malayalam film 'Pretham'. Let us see how the movie was??
Story-line:
Aswin (Aswin), Kishore (Vennela Kishore), Praveen (Praveen) are best friends who despite problems at home Purchase Raju Gari Resort but a ghost haunts them and the resort. They seek the help of a church father who in turn recommends a mentalist, Rudra (Nagarjuna). Rudra finds that it is the work of the ghost Amrutha (Samantha). What is the motive? and How the issue is solved? forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Nagarjuna is seen as a mentalist Rudra. His body language and dialogue delivery worked well. Samantha is impressive as a lawyer and a ghost later on in the film. The sequence between Nagarjuna and Samantha is very impressive. Seerat Kapoor wooed the masses with her glamour show. Her character is also important to the story and she acted well. Comedy by Vennela Kishore, praveen and shakalaka shankar is decent.
Analysis:
Raju Gari Gadhi-2 is a horror comedy story in which a ghost helps another and the story is embedded with a good message. Director Ohmkar should have focused more on the comedy in the first half. He did a good job handling two stars in the film.
Technical Values:
Musuc director SS Thaman's background score is hunting. BGM elevates the scenes. Cinematographer Diwakaran complimented the horror comedy very well with his camera work. Abburi Ravi’ wrote very good dialogues especially in second half. Editing is decent.The visual effects and Production Values are also impressive.
Thumbs Up:
- Back ground music
- Runtime
- Comedy
Thumbs down:
- Few scenes
Final Verdict:
Raju Gari Gadhi-2 is a horror comedy film.
The first half gives us an okay feel but it picks pace as the ghost story begins. Even though there is horror angle, only a few scenes will actually instill horror and majorly runs on comedy. The climax sequence is the heart of the film with a good mix of emotions. Director Ohmkar did a decent job with the second half particularly the climax.
One time watchable film.
