Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu (CMGR) Review

It’s been a “Pushkaram” since the duo Puri Jagannath-Pawan Kalyan delivered a sensational “Badri”. Now the duo are back again with “Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu”. This becomes third film this year in Puri’s running spree. There is always a humongous craze surrounding Powerstar’s film irrespective of previous result, but this time it just doubled due to “Gabbar Singh”

Let’s see whether all the hype and expectations meet each other this time!!

Plot: Rambabu is an ordinary human being, but very different in a way he responds to the news in his surroundings. The movie is how this spark in him makes him an “Extraordinary” Journalist that makes a striking impact in society.

Performances:

If there’s a film that is made on Pawanism, I think that film will be called “Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu” from today. Right from the intro, heroism is superbly elevated. He speaks his mind in every scene. Since his ideologies are presented, he is natural in all emotional scenes. There are many scenes that will make fans whistle and clap. That apart, he never missed his entertaining self this time. His enthusiasm in songs will mesmerize his fans while his scenes with Tamanna, Ali and Brahmanandam will sure giggle you. So this is Pawan in full form, No doubts in it.

Milky beauty, hmm Tamanna likes this pet name. She plays the Tomboyish girl, a very self-confident and dashing one. Lucky she, as she is in shirts throughout the film, her hip is covered all through. But fans no need to worry as it is focused on 70 MM on all the songs. She is a treat all over.

PrakashRaj is a blessing in disguise, though he did almost the same role in many Puri’s blockbusters, He again does it so convincingly that you really can’t imagine anyone. Kota proves once again his seniority. Nazar is humble and convincing as CM. Tanikella Bharani makes his presence felt in crucial scenes.

Ali’s chemistry with Pawan and at the same time his comedy episodes in Puri’s direction gather laugh’s once again with his “Melukolupu” episodes. Brahmanandam adds fuel to the fun.

One song is literally wasted with this Gabriala( Not the item song). Any other heroine in the likes of Taapsi would have been given that role.

Puri Jagannath shows “Extraordinary” Heroism…

Puri Jagannath has such a potential to elevate the hero from an ordinary to “Extra Ordinary”. He writes the racy scenes right from the introduction of Pawan. Soon brings the Prakash Raj into scene and creates right amount of clash between the central characters. There is a tempo maintained to finally show how good wins over bad. Dialogue writer in him has got several punches awakening the society. Pawan’s scenes when interviewing Prakash Raj, His scenes with CM and the pre-climax scene with pawan needs huge applause. He cleverly recreates the current political scenario in the film.

And the funny aspect in him is seen very much, when he vandalizes the media’s headlines when discussing with Brahmi. Ali’s “Melukolupu” episode with black tickets is hilarious. Pawan’s episodes with Tamanna are sweet(especially when he describes girls as ordinary, theatre will have screams for sure).

Manisharma’s songs are nice on screen. Bhaskarabatla garu gave superb inspirational song “ Tala Dinchuku bratukutaava “ which is placed at very right moment. 

Drawbacks
But other duets should have been pictured still richer to provide the audience more relief. The Second girl is utterly wrong selection. There will lot of shades of Business man in execution. If you expect "Gabbar Singh" kind of lighter vein entertainer, this is not your cup of tea. Heavy violence ( the fight of hijras seems repetitive from Rebel) is one distraction too. A connection to the message and "Pawanism" decides how well a common audience like it.

 Pawan Kalyan Hats Off

A hero of his stature should attempt this kind of movie. The reach of message will be surely multiplied. Puri Jagannath has delivered a meaningful film this time. Very good writing in whole. So a good product from him can be expected in less time. He utilized Pawan’s energy and the expectations on the combination rightly.

Rating

3.5 (sure one watch if interested in message genre)
