Gopi Gopika Godavari – Movie Review

A love story with typical turns on the lines of Godavari.

Director Vamsi, who gave big hits like Sitara, Anveshana, Manchu Pallaki, Ladies’ Tailor and Avunu Valliddaru Ishtapaddaru, is almost running into bad time with successive failures like Donga Ramudu and Party, Koncham Touchlo Vunte Chebutanu and Anumanaspadam at the Box Office.

In order to regain his past glory, Vamsi has brought out another film silently with not so famous actors, again with his favourite Godavari and the boats in the backdrop. The entire film shooting was done in a low profile. The movement of the film is exactly in Vamsi’s style and the film is good to watch but the slow running of the flick may not suit the taste of the present generation audiences.

his First LOVE called him.... Oy...

Oye is a Telugu film written and directed by newcomer Anand Ranga, who assisted Bhaskar in the Telugu blockbuster Bommarillu. The film stars Siddharth and child artiste-turned-heroine Baby Shamili of Mani Ratnam's Anjali fame. The film, which has music composed by music director Yuvan Shankar Raja.


In this movie Siddhartha is a college boy who falls in love with Shamili. The story moves around how both reunite by fighting with the old traditions of the world.

Uday, a young rich kid, who believes in the adage of life is short and live it to the fullest. He falls in love with a docile girl Sandhya (Shamili) at a first sight when he catches her in writing dairy at a pub wearing chudidar. She lives alone at a beachside house, running a nursery. She is very traditional girl with her own ideals. He enters in her house as P.G to make her fall in love. On her birthday, he expresses his love and presents 12 beautiful birthday gifts. On the same day it is revealed that she is suffering from a terminal disease. The rest of the movie is how he makes her life beautiful before she dies.



Although the film is copied from Korean film, A Millionaire's First Love (2006), it is well structured in the first half. Only in the later part of the movie it drags on.

Performance of Siddharth and Samili is good, but the strength of the movie lies in technical aspects. Vijay Chakravarthy did a commendable job as Cinematography.

Basic plot is taken from A Millionaire's First Love (2006) but has influences of Hollywood film Love Story (1971) and Geetanjali (1989) of Telugu.
