Which is the most difficult thing to do in a movie? If someone were to ask me this question, my reply without any hesitation will be "To Convey a message in a movie and to do it successfully", as most people who come to the theaters have only one "Entertainment" in mind.
Now Krish the film maker pulls of the aforementioned task with nonchalant ease with his movie "Gamyam (Telugu)" . I must say its been quite sometime since i have seen any movie like this. Absolutely Honest Film making. Handling a story, which had more chances of making the audience run for their Pop Corn out of boredom, the director not only manages to keep the audience interested, but also goes a step beyond and makes the audience think, think for a moment.
I am not going to give any reviews for this movie as its been quite sometime the movie had released and the web media contains enf and more reviews. But i would like to point out some points which i felt interesting about the movie.
I read a lot of reviews which spoke of Allari Naresh as the second most person of the movie, but i beg to differ on this, I name the Lyricist of the movie Sri Vennela Seetarama Sastry as the second hero of the movie. Never before i guess a lyricist played the role of a second hero. The one song where he explains life is awesome to say the least. To Sum it Up "No Praise can be too high for the lyricist."
For the first time or maybe in a long long time we saw "Naxalism" handled in the most objective manner.And the brilliant part is that's not in the main scheme of things too. Such was the attention paid to even the not so critical track.The track was handled in a very objective and honest fashion.
Finally the episode that deals with the dance girl, God! Wonderful, On your face hard hitting dialogues, Never were these episodes treated with such finesse before.
All in all, a fantastic journey, a thought provoking one.
P.S:Although off the topic, i would like to ask this doubt here, "Whats that so special about Philosophy in general, everyone knows the truth but when every time we hear it again and again it sounds like new, it becomes a new learning. Is that the beauty of the Truth or the Human Mind?"

hi ram,nice writeup...but too late nd in nice manner...
even i too like da movie a lot...
seetharam saasthry [bow] to him..
good one there
Thnks Ashok and Nagrockz :)
wow very much impressed...gud one there...the review makes me watch the movie once again..[hatsoff]
first of all kudos to you ram for making a statement on one of the best movie,
according to a movie it should have some feeling when u come out of theatre that feeling may be comical,oomp thing(likewise shakela movies),emotional(example to make ur love/hate on a particular person/region/religion a bit more stronger....if that emotion is positive it will be a good movie or otherwise a bad )
but this movie one of the kind of movies where you can say its a good movie(manchi cinema).
it has been long before we are thinking about a movie whether it is good or bad (manchi cinema /chedda cinema)we started assuming about whether its hit or flop movie(chalega/nahi chalega)
This movie is whether its hit or flop its a (very)good movie.
coming to your article on secondhero i believe that credit goes to nor naresh neither sirivennala sasthry but to dialogue/script writer gandham(gamyam) nagaraj .he has given spontaneous/worthy dialogues.Because those dialogues are ringing at my ear even after 7 months.
According to your last statement about truth in your article i believe that we are bi-hearting the truth rather than following it.
so if one shows the truth in a stronger way by media (tv/movie/newspaper) we will be in a state of renouncing.
we will renounce by our experiences about truth.
sorry ram for my long presentation about your article.
this article came with love about the movie and also i cant resist my happiness that someone liked the movie the way i did.

Kumar :), am happy with ur comments, No need to feel inhibited. Yeah as u said we have only by heartd the truth :).
That was a good one :)
You managed to deliver your point - that was the best part about this write up. I haven't watched the movie yet... But I've read all those reviews... :)
And about this part:
Whats that so special about Philosophy in general, everyone knows the truth but when every time we hear it again and again it sounds like new, it becomes a new learning. Is that the beauty of the Truth or the Human Mind?
I guess its a mixture of both. The beauty of the truth makes the human mind think. It makes the human mind appreciate the truth itself.. :)
