Godha Review : An wholesome comedy entertainer

Godha Review : An wholesome comedy entertainer

Basil Joseph’s next after the comic caper Kunjiramayanam, Godha grabbed the eyeballs right after the release of it’s first look poster. The initial reaction was- Oh! another wrestling based movie. The impact that Salman Khan’s Sultan and Aamir’s Dangal left is quite huge. But the fact of the matter is Godha was born before both these films.

And apart from a wrestling backdrop, Godha has no resemblance to the Khan films. While Sultan is mass entertainer that utilized the star value of Salman Khan to the fullest, Dangal was an emotional tale of a father’s dream to turn his daughters to world class wrestlers. Godha is neither of them, it’s an wholesome entertainer with prominence to humour.

So let’s cut straight to the plot. Godha is set in a village in Kerala where Captain (Renji Panicker) gives Gatta Gusthi, a native form of wrestling, coaching to young wrestlers in the locality. He is distraught when youngsters are not showing interest in the sport. In a bid to regain the lost fame, Captain decides to organize a tournament. That is when Aditi Singh (Wamiqa Gabbi) visits the place and the core plot evolves from there.

Godha brings out the director in Basil Joseph to the centre. While his first film was a regular entertainer, this one is made on a wide canvas. The director has shown a lot of maturity and conviction in this movie. Be it Shaan Rahman’s music, Vishnu Sarma’s frames or Abhinav Sunder Nayak’s seamless cuts, Basil has extracted the best from his team. After all, a director’s foremost job is to get the best out of his team.

As an actor, Tovino has already displayed his range by portraying a variety of characters in a very short period. Godha once again proves the same, we can see the flexibility that this wonderful actor possesses. Punjabi actress Wamiqa Gabbi is the real show stealer. She is at it right from the word go and just did not put a foot wrong at any moment. Renji Panicker is also great as the veteran Captain and his stunning physique at this age can give most youngsters a run for their money.

Aju Varghese, Hareesh Perumanna, Sreejith Ravi, Kottayam Aju Vargheese, Sreejith Ravi, Kottayam Pradeep and Biju Kuttan take care of the humor department, with Hareesh being the stand out performer. There is no forced humour here, everything is in sync with the narrative.

The positives in Godha should be Basil’s direction, Vishnu Sarma’s superb cinematography and Shaan Rahman’s perfectly syncing music. If one wants to get too critical, then we can point out the colour grading, which could have been improved.

Overall, Godha is a perfectly entertaining watch that can be enjoyed with families. A good work from Basil Joseph and his team that deserves to be appreciated.

Pranav Mohanlal not to act after Jeethu Joseph’s movie?

Pranav Mohanlal’s return to acting was awaited for years by the Malayali audience. As a first step to get into cinema, Pranav assisted director Jeethu Joseph in two of his movies- Life Of Josutty and Papanasam. Eventually, Mohanlal announced that his son will be playing the lead in Jeethu Joseph’s next movie and his company Aashirvad Cinemas will be producing it.

Ever since then, there has been a whole lot of speculations about the film. Recently, talks are rife within the industry that Pranav will not be acting after this movie, and that he wishes to concentrate on his other interests.

Mohanlal himself, in many interviews, has repeated that his son was least interested in a career in movies. It is well known that Pranav likes to stay away from the limelight. He was approached by a lot of filmmakers, some even from Tamil, but he did not commit for any. Finally after a lot of persuasion from his well wishers Pranav decided to give it a shot. He chose to work in Jeethu’s film as he was comfortable with the director after assisting him.

According to talks within the industry, Pranav will take a call on his future in acting only after the response he gets for the Jeethu Joseph film. Mohanlal has earlier revealed about his son’s interest in travelling and his wish to teach underprivileged kids. So, let’s wait and see how things shape up.

Social media has it’s share of pros and cons. It provides a platform where people can express themselves and voice their opinions. But unfortunately, most people use the flip side where they tend to spread negativity and false news with the mask of fake accounts.

Celebrities are the most affected in the cyber world. With the arrival social medias, celebrities can interact more with their fans and well wishers. But most of them tend to stay away fearing backfire and derogatory comments. Actress Rajisha Vijayan is one such celebrity who is not a big fan of social medias.

Rajisha shot to fame with her debut movie Anuraga Karikkin Vellam, which also won her a Kerala State Film Award for best actress. Once a regular social media user, Rajisha has happily kept away from the virtual world for over two years now.

Rajisha feels that it is a space brimmed with false news and fake accounts. Social media users do not have enough time to spend time outside that space as they are preoccupied with their phones. Even when a woman is attacked, people want to know whether there is videos of the incident. The actress says that she cannot tolerate such culture and hence chose to stay away.

On the work front, Rajisha recently finished shooting for her upcoming movie Oru Cinemakkaran starring Vineeth Sreenivasan in the lead. The movie’s first look poster was released recently and is expected to hit screens by next month.
