SPICYTOLLYWOOD MOVIE RATING: 3.5/5
Filmmaker Sai Pallavi created "Gargi," a movie that focuses on women. The Gautam Ramachandran-directed movie, which was released in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, was billed as a suspense thriller. This movie was presented by Rakshit Shetty, Suriya, and Rana Daggubati in their respective native tongues. The audience has responded favourably to the movie's teaser and trailer. On July 15, 2022, the movie eventually opened in theatres amid considerable anticipation. Here is the movie review.
Story:
Gargi (Sai Pallavi) is a school teacher in Hyderabad who has a typical life. Her father, Brahmanandam (RS Shivaji), is an apartment building security guard. Gargi sets out to find her father one day when he doesn't come home and discovers the terrible information that he was arrested for raping a 9-year-old girl. However, Gargi decides to seek justice since she is adamant that her father is not a criminal and could never do such a thing. What obstacles did she have to overcome to establish her father's innocence? The remainder of the story is about what ultimately happened.
Sai Pallavi's performance:
Sai pallavi's perfromance in the movie steals the show. In this movie, the actress, who has already shown that she can fit into any role, gave another spellbinding performance. Sai Pallavi gave her everything to the part, giving her best performance of her acting career. The actress received another author-supported role, as she does in most of her movies, and Sai Pallavi explored the character's motivations.
In his role as attorney Gireesam, Kali Venkat performed admirably. The performance by Kalaimamani Saravanan is also quite moving. The filmmaker took a risk by casting a transgender actor as the judge, and the actor did a good job. Sai Pallavi's father, RS Shivaji, gave a sincere performance as well. The other actors also contributed to
Technical Aspects:
The director handled the delicate subject of sexual harassment against women well. Despite the film's grim subject matter, the filmmaker wanted to make it a hard-hitting and moving one rather than displaying gory or uncomfortable scenes.
Despite having a lengthy runtime, the movie doesn't have any pointless scenes, and the director did a great job of narrating it. This is one of the movie's main pluses. The film's greatest asset is the soundtrack, which is by Govind Vasantha. His calming BGM is the ideal fit for the movie. Additionally competent are the editing and cinematography. The quality of the production is good.
REVIEW:
The opening 30 minutes of the movie are spent establishing the characters and showing off Gargi's idealised and contented life. The first half is pretty engrossing, but as soon as the conflict point enters the scene, Gargi's life goes upside down. The stunning intermission bang will raise hopes for the second half. There are several emotional passages in the second half, and some viewers could find the melodrama annoying. The film's powerful message, though, is pretty striking. The film's charm lies in its surprise climactic twist in particular. Overall, "Gargi" is a powerful, emotional drama with some tender scenes.
Plus points: Sai Pallavi Heartfelt scenes; Climax twist
Negative points: Dramatic Resolution
