Plot Summary:
Directed by Krishna Chaitanya and featuring music by Yuvan Shankar Raja, “Gangs of Godavari” explores the complex social and power structures around the Godavari river. The film’s narrative follows Rathna’s ascent to becoming the infamous Tiger Rathnakar, capturing his reign and fall in the Godavari region. Despite the fast-paced storytelling, which keeps viewers engaged for its 146-minute runtime, it struggles to evoke empathy for Rathna. The characters of Rathnamala (Anjali), his confidante, and Bujji (Neha), his wife, serve as his emotional anchors, yet Rathna’s character remains enigmatic. The movie briefly addresses caste politics, though it stops short of a deep dive into the issue.
About the Movie:
“Gangs of Godavari” presents Vishwak Sen in a new light, shedding his urban image for a more rugged, rural look, as teased in the film’s promotional content. The movie’s exploration of rivalries and alliances in a rural setting marks a departure from Sen’s previous roles, offering audiences a fresh perspective on the actor’s versatility.
