The collaboration between mahesh babu and trivikram srinivas, known for creating classics like "Khaleja," has produced another film titled "Guntur Karam." Despite their previous cinematic masterpieces, the duo faced challenges in achieving commercial success with some of their films. "Guntur Karam," despite being labeled an average commercial movie, manages to captivate audiences to a certain extent.
The film, adorned with familiar elements like the title, Mahesh's beedi-clad appearance, and lyrics like "Madathapetti," doesn't strive for greatness but rather aims to provide an entertaining experience. trivikram, known for his previous family dramas, attempts to infuse freshness into the narrative, but the film ends up feeling somewhat conventional. The visuals, characters, and dialogues appear formulaic, and despite Trivikram's efforts, the film lacks innovation.
Mahesh Babu, delivering an energetic and entertaining performance, adds charm to the movie with his stunning looks and trademark dialogue delivery. The film successfully incorporates humour, especially with the Mahesh-Srileela-Vennela kishore combination. While the first half of "Guntur Karam" seems promising with engaging scenes, the second half falters in cultivating emotional depth, particularly in portraying the mother-son relationship.
The storyline involving characters traveling between guntur and hyderabad becomes monotonous, contributing to a sense of frustration among the audience. The action sequences between Gelatin babji and Dasu, perceived as deviations, fail to sustain interest in the plot. Despite the film's potential due to the Mahesh factor, it falls short of expectations for a collaboration of this caliber between mahesh babu and Trivikram.
