Allu Arjun’s Brother Allu Sirish’s debut movie, Gauravam released today in Tamil and Telugu with lot of expectations. Prakash Raj has produced this film under his home production banner.The story line is quite unique.The Gauravam team should be appreciated for taking this dare step.
story:

Arjun (Sirish) is a rich kid who comes to village in search of his friend Shankar. He comes to know that Shankar eloped with Rajeshwari, a girl of upper caste. And no body knows about their whereabouts. Disturbed by the plight of Shankar’s father (LB Sri Ram), Arjun decides to stay in the village and tries to investigate in to the matter. Later, he takes on the casteism in the village with the help of his friends and media. Will they find Shankar? Will they set right the problems in the village forms the rest.

Prakash Raj has a son who is also cruel minded.Both of them tells Sirish that they will give and take the lives for the pride of their family.They are not bothered about their girl.However,Sirish wants to unravel the mystery and continues his hunt.Sirish goes back to his place and motivates all his engineering friends and brings them to the village and starts to fight against Prakash Raj’s family.Slowly the issue gains the attention of the media and with the fuss & buzz that comes along takes the message to the centre.Nasser played the role of a union minister & his daughter Yami Gautham donned the role of a lawyer.Finally the mystery unfolds with the help of all these characters .

Performance:
One should appreciate Allu Sirish for choosing this subject. But his efforts on screen do not score any good marks. He is totally clueless in emoting required emotions. And also struggled a lot in dances and fights. He still seemed an unfinished product.

Yami Gautam looked beautiful and young. She has the fresh appeal but her character lacked any depth or connect to the story . LB Sri Ram is good as a worried father. Prakash Raj’s character not used properly. Brahmaji is okay and rest of them are good in their limited roles.

Technical Aspects:

The two songs in the movie are really good and are embedded well in the story. The back ground score in some places is really good. There is very little scope for dances in the songs.

Radha Mohan as always came up with a intriguing subject. But he failed miserably in projecting it. Characterizations were not perfect some of them looked overboard and some looked totally under used.

Highlights:

Script
Prakash Raj’s performance is very good
Yami Gautham Beautiful looks
Direction is decent
Music is good

Disadvantages:

Climax is predictable
Allu Sirish
Poor characterizations
no excitement

Verdict: Good message oriented movie.can be watched once
