GeethaGovindham review




GeethaGovindham Movie Review


"When you wholeheartedly want something, the whole of the universe conspires for you get it" - That's a familiar line from the famous Alchemist. That's what GeethaGovindham is all about. A young Vijay Govind and his want for a lady love and how he finally gets her love forms the crux of the story.

The movie opens up as a First person narration by the hero himself to a stranded passerby(Nithya Meon in a cameo) in the wee hours just before the wedding. Vijay Govind (Vijay Devarakonda) is a lecturer in a college and is head over heels Geetha (Rashmika) when he first meets her in a temple. Fortunately he gets to travel with her to Kakinada for his sister's engagement. During the journey in a attempt to ascertain her love, by an ill advice from his drunkard friend he ends up being portrayed as a flirtatious pervert in her eyes. Each attempt to prove his innocence seems futile. How all things falls into place and how the lovers unite at the end forms the rest of the movie.



It's a light hearted rom com and logic can always take a back stand. Even the hero who breaks the window glass and jumps out of a speeding bus comes unhurt with just mud and dirt but no broken legs :P.  Vijay as the handsome lecturer with an innocent demeanor is surely the chocolate boy on screen. The hooting and whistling by the female crowd in the theatre best explains his fandom amongst girls. Rashmika was chirpy as the demanding and dominating lady love was adequate. But my personal favourite was the actor Venela Kishore whose comes as the Bridegroom from UK. Though his character was short-lived, it was sure to add the comic relief in an otherwise usual dragging climax.


"Inkem Inkem kavale"- song was already a hit and the jingles of the same was all through the background score. The comical interludes between the lead pair maintained the pace of the movie from becoming saggy. The director has been clear on his target audience and has added the right ingredients to please them and have succeeded in the process as well.

So grab your pop-corn and enjoy this light breezy entertainer.
