Garam Movie Review – 2/5
Aadi is not having a great run at the box office lately. It has been a while since he delivered the goods. He trusted director Madan to get him back on track. Madan tried to pull off a commercial entertainer with a wafer thin story line and the result is pretty bad.
Story :
Varala Babu (Aadi) goes to Hyderabad in search of job. He bumps into a Muslim girl Sameera (Adah Sharma) and falls in love with her. Varala Babu has another motive to come to the city. He is in fact searching for his ‘missing’ friend (Chaitanya Krishna). He saves him from the goons but he goes missing again. Rest of the film is about how Varala Babu succeeds in saving his friend and loved ones from bad people.
Performances:
Aadi is okay in the lead role. It is a very ordinary character that doesn’t put the actor to the test. He is good in songs and fights. Adah Sharma is alright. Veteran actor Naresh is good as a middle class father. Brahmanandam is wasted. Kabeer is fine as the main baddie. Posani, Shakalaka Shankar, Jayaprakash Reddy and Tanikella Bharani tried their best to lift the spirits.
Technicalities:
Madan’s direction is aimless. He couldn’t save the film from being a dud as the script is too weak. Madan who is a good writer chose to direct a story that is written by some other writer. A bad move indeed.
Songs and Background score are pathetic. Cinematography is equally bad. But the editor somehow managed to come first in terms of bad output. Needless to talk about the poor production values. Looks like most of the money is spent on filming the songs in foreign locales.
Thumbs Up:
- Nothing
Thumbs Down:
- Story
- Screenplay
- Editing
- Music
Analysis:
Garam is a bad film on every front. Aadi has once again chosen to do a masala film that hardly had any meat in it. While many young actors have realized the importance of good script, Aadi is repeating his mistakes by falling into the commercial cinema trap. Sadly his father Sai Kumar too was fooled by this shallow script.
Garam is a tedious watch right from the beginning. Nothing gets better as the movie progresses. First half is unbearable with cliched love track and stale comedy. First half seems better after watching the second half. The story has an emotional backdrop but the director failed to build an emotional bond between the audience and characters.
The story does have some twists here and there but they go unnoticed because of bad direction. Garam has flop written all over it and there isn’t a single moment where the actors or technicians made a sincere effort to save it from going down. It’s downhill all the way for Garam and even a miracle cannot save it.
Verdict: Spineless and spice less.

What YSR Couldn’t Do, KCR Did It!
Telugu Desam Party had a strong foothold in Telangana. In fact, TDP had stronger cadre in Telangana than in Andhra Pradesh. But that is now passe. Most of its leaders have left the party for brighter future. Leaders, party-workers who was with the party for decades have now switched their loyalties post bifurcation of the state. And this further escalated with TRS sweeping GHMC polls.
Even YS Rajasekhar Reddy, then CM of the united state, couldn’t wipe out TDP. Especially he had tough time competing TDP in Telangana and AP. Though YS was partly successful in decimating TRS, it wasn’t complete and he passed away in a tragic accident.
But KCR has did it in no time. Surpassing expectations, KCR tactfully put down TDP in Telangana. But it needs to be seen whether it’s a knee-jerk reaction or a permanent setback for TDP in Telangana. Political pundits say TDP still has chances to bounce back. Whatever be the future, as of now, KCR managed to do what YSR Couldn’t do.
