Movie Verdict
Movie lovers might be aware of the Kannada super hit film ‘Love Mocktail’. Gurthunda Seetakalam is an official remake of this super hit Kannada film. Movie will definitely remind us of our childhood crush stories and love affairs in our college life with some of the scenes throughout the runtime, but the overall movie may feel a little dragged with it’s slow narration. Childhood love story and college life love story has some funny sequences that makes us tickle, but later half misses that fun and moves into serious mood. Climax ends on a emotional note that will surely connect to many true lovers out there.
While it comes to acting, Satyadev is a talent actor and we all know that. He is effortless in this movie and tries to impress audience with his dialouge delivery & comic timing. Tamannaah Bhatia is choosing the characters wisely these days. Her role from this movie has some scope to perform and she gave her best for the role. Megha Akash looks beautiful on screen, but has very limited screen time to perform. Kavya Shetty is not that impressive as Ammu. Priyadarshi was able to evoke few laughs. All other actors did their part well as required for the story.
Technically, Gurthunda Seetakalam looks good. Music composed by Kaala Bhairava is soulful, though the songs cannot be listened in a repeat mode after watching the film. Cinematography by Satya Hegde is decent and he was able to capture some beautiful landscapes from some exotic locations. Dialogues written by Lakshmi Bhupala are very well written and adds feel to the scenes. Editing could have been better.
Director Nagashekar stayed true to the original and didn’t make too man changes to the story, that might have spoiled the soul of this beautiful love story.
Overall, Gurthunda Seetakalam is a loveable movie that will surely remind you of your past love stories.
