Gopala Gopala (2015)
Clean and decent thought provoking film
It seems this is the God bashing season. With PK and now Gopala Gopala, the air is full of questions on religion. But Gopala Gopala (and for that matter PK) handles the toughest challenge quite well.
You know that this is a remake of Oh My God in Hindi. So I am not talking about the story. Venkatesh delivers a stellar performance as he has done in other similar non action films like Drishyam, Seetamma vaakitlo.... etc. He did the role with lot of ease and flair. He has a great comedy timing and that is used very well in the film.
Its good to see a refreshing Shriya Saran - after all that roles she has been doing once her market has gone down. No where in the film the director chose to show any skin show nor vulgarity - making this a real family entertainer. Shriya is decent as a god loving wife. There is not much for her to perform.
Pawan Kalyan did his best in a different kind of role. His scenes with Venkatesh and the way he educates Venkatesh are commendable. His dialog delivery has a mischievous smile - since he knows what is going to happen - and there is a glow in his face.
Posani did an excellent job. So is Mithun Chakraborthy. All others have provided a good support cast. There is no need for a separate comedy track as Venkatesh himself carries superb comedy timing.
The graphics used at appropriate scenes have come out well. Some people after watching the film with me were commenting, in the end, they showed only HINDU God. But I think that is due to other religions especially Islam doesn't prescribe any form of Idol, that is justified.
Overall, a decent family entertainer. Watch it and you will think for sure.
