This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Godavari is the movie directed by the famous Telugu movie director Shekhar Kammula.The movie has been mostly shot on a boat that travels between Rajahmundry and badrachalam
on Godavari river and scenes are natural,the whole scenes are mesmerizing.you can have laugh whenever the animated dog speaks .
Godavari has been shot not in dandakranyam.but on the river.characters mostly resemble of those in everyday life .
The plot is love between an egoist lady and smooth ,humanitarian .The woman presents herself an individual and disrespectful when one condemns her.is this ego ?yet the character is beautiful ly carved.the protagonist is ever helpful and always indulging wants to marry his relative but refused by the father of the girl due to his volatile behaviour.
Though sumanth character is a smooth ,helping individual,he played superbly as it suited him.
The second half of movie is dragged and hurried .if some more picturesque scenes are added,it would have been a great pick

Well, it's too late to write a review for a movie from 2006 but could not stop from writing it for such a nice movie. When I watched the movie was indeed taken aback to find this kind of movie being made. Nothing great about the story but what makes it different is the presentation and the performances. Director indeed took a challenging job of taking up a regular story and presenting in an innovative way. Also, great job by cinematographer to portray beautifully various regions and banks of the Godavari river. Indeed it will tempt most of the audience to take up launch trip from Rajhmundry to Bhadrachalam. Contemporary presentation of Ram and Sita's characters and their interaction is very nice. Worth watching movie!!

Godavari is one good core Telugu movie. Each and every character played in the movie can be identified in our daily life. The movie makes you feel like you are on a cradle swing. You don't really realize that the 2.5 hrs are up:). If someone really deserves an applause, he is Sekhar Kammula the director. For sure, he feels each and every character before he films it! After watching Anand and Godavari, I really feel like i am addict to his movies by now.And all the artists...god..they were at their best! The animation of Koti...the cute dog is awesome. Actually, most of the times...it just depicts the inner voice of us..the HUMANS! All the best Sekhar with your future ventures!

After the Success of "Anand". I was really waiting to see the next flick of Shekar Kammula, as I wanted to know if he can deliver yet another Master Piece. He did it again and kudos to this great talent. I am a big fan of the Director Viswanath for his caliber to make soft but highly influential movies. I was wondering if that genre is over and there is no upcoming director who can fill that slot. But I am wrong. As the saying goes "History repeats itself".Characterization is the main asset of this movie. We feel that we are acquainted with the characters of the film from a very long time. The touch of reality given by the director w.r.t the inclination of the hero to join mainstream politics to do something for the society and the problems he faced to do that is excellent. The whole film is lively with some good comedy and great music. One can just relax and watch the movie.There are some popular(so called) directors who say its impossible to make a hit movie without making the heroin to strip or hero fighting with goons by flying in air for half of the movie. Movies like this prove that its their inability to make such movies rather than the impossibility.
