Vishwak Sen has carved a niche for himself by defying conventions and embracing diverse roles. Following his critically acclaimed performance in Gaami, Sen is poised to enthrall audiences once more with Gangs of Godavari. This Telugu action drama features him in a mass protagonist avatar, a stark contrast to his previous outing.

The film’s pre-release buzz was amplified by positive reviews from its US premiere. Sen portrays Vishvak Lankala Ratna, an ordinary young man who rises from humble beginnings to challenge powerful political figures. Early reports suggest a captivating narrative that explores his journey to power.

Vishwak Sen’s performance is said to be a major highlight. He reportedly delivers a nuanced portrayal of Vishvak Lankala Ratna, a character with both positive and negative traits. His dedication to the role is further emphasized by his use of the Godavari dialect, lending authenticity to the story.

The film’s strength lies in its well-crafted dialogues, penned by director Krishna Chaitanya. These dialogues seamlessly connect each scene and propel the narrative forward at a gripping pace. Chaitanya’s directorial prowess shines through in his handling of high-octane action sequences, skillfully balanced with moments of emotional depth.

The chemistry between Vishwak Sen and Neha Shetty is reported to add charm and depth to the story. Supporting performances by Anjali Ratnamala are also said to be noteworthy. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja complements the film effectively, heightening the impact of both action and emotional scenes.

The climax, reportedly powerful and impactful, leaves a lasting impression on viewers. Gangs of Godavari emerges as a promising cinematic experience that blends mass appeal with genuine emotion. With a strong opening day anticipated, the film is positioned to make a significant mark in the Telugu film industry.

On the eve of its release, the team behind “Gangs of Godavari” held a press meet, offering insights into the highly anticipated Telugu film. Lead actor Vishwak Sen and producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi addressed the gathering, brimming with confidence about the movie’s potential.

Sen emphasized his commitment to portraying his character authentically. He meticulously honed the Godavari slang to ensure a believable performance, stating, “I didn’t want anyone to point a finger at my performance and I think I did justice to the role and won’t disappoint you.” The actor further expressed his desire to break free from being typecast as a Telangana actor, revealing a nuanced perspective on his character Lankala Rathna. “I learnt a lot from Lankala Rathna,” Sen said. “He comes across as an unpredictable character, but he is someone with his own set of morals. I related with that side.”

With immense enthusiasm, Sen declared, “Gangs of Godavari will be a milestone moment in Telugu cinema. I’m saying this after a screening yesterday.” He hinted at the possibility of a sequel, elaborating, “Gangs of Godavari will most likely have a sequel, but unlike Hit, I will be playing the lead role in it too.”

Discussing a pivotal action scene, Sen commented on the evolving landscape of Telugu cinema. “There’s a lot of talk about Telugu cinema going global lately,” he said. “We too have a taste for films like The Godfather, Scarface and shows like Game of Thrones. It is because they are a product of honest, no-holds-barred filmmaking. Gangs of Godavari too has a fight before intermission without slow motion and background score that’ll blow everyone’s minds. It’s a risk but filmmaking is evolving with time and we must respect that.”

Producer Naga Vamsi praised Sen’s performance, asserting, “Gangs of Godavari is Vishwak Sen’s finest performance to date. What you’ve seen from him in the last five years is a mere trailer. Audiences will be surprised that a young actor has pulled off such a challenging role.” He further highlighted the film’s other strengths, including the music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the enduring character of Lankala Rathna.

Vamsi addressed concerns regarding the trailer’s tone, explaining, “If people are finding a few moments in the trailer too direct, they need to understand the rags-to-riches story revolves around the highs and lows in the life of a slum dweller and the tone is decided by his trajectory.”

He advocated for open-mindedness, citing positive feedback from respected figures in the industry. “Supriya garu (of Annapurna Studios) called to tell me that she really liked the trailer. I presume she understood it too. We can make better films if we’re more open-minded.” The press meet concluded with details about the film’s cast, including Neha Shetty as the female lead and Anjali in a key role.
