Aadhirn made a positive impression with films such as 'Prema Kavali' & rn'Lovely'. He, however, was unable to deliver decent films there after rnand making repeated attempts to score his first commercial success. rnDirector Madan, on the other hand, took a long break after rn'Pravarakyudu' failure and finally delivered 'Garam'. Did the combo workrn & were they able to revive their careers?

Synopsis:

Varamrn (Aadhi), an aimless youth, holds grudge against his neighbour Ravi rn(Krishna Chaitanya) who is good at academics. One fine day, He leaves rnfor Hyderabad in search of a job and falls in love with a Muslim girl rnMeera (Adah Sharma). Its then, Varam's Friend gets injured in an rnaccident and he gets to see Ravi in a pathetic condition on hospital bedrn while admitting him. When Varam saves Ravi from goons who try to kill rnhim, the twist gets unfolded. What's the reason behind Ravi's condition rn& Who is trying to get rid of him? What did Varam do to make sure rnthe whole story had a happy ending?

Performances:

Aadhirn played a rough & tough role in 'Garam'. He does fights and dances rnwith good ease. Adah Sharma fails to make her presence count, be it rnperformance or glamour. Kabir Singh as Villain is just okay. Naresh rn& Tanikella Bharani does their jobs to perfection. Krishna Chaitanyarn is good in his role. Shakalaka Shankar and Madhu Nandan have rnentertained to some extent. Brahmanandam & Posani were wasted.

Pros:


Aadhi's Dances & Fights

Interval Block

Cons:

Adah Sharma

Songs

Direction

Technicalities:

Nothingrn special about Agastya's Tunes and they were more like speed breakers inrn 'Garam'. Background Score is alright. Cinematography is decent. Editingrn is poor. None of the Dialogues leave a big impact. Production Values rnare fine. Did Madan made 'Garam' to prove his existence in the Film rnIndustry? One gets the same feeling as Mass Subjects weren't his cup of rntea.

Analysis:


Notably, rn'Garam' story writer Srinivas Gavireddy made his directorial debut with rn'Seethamma Andalu Ramayya Sithralu'. Just alike his launch pad, Even rn'Garam' follows the formula of Protagonist turning from 'Zero' in First rnHalf to 'Hero' in Second Half.

The story based on Fake rnEmployment Racket looks interesting but the age-old screenplay proves rncostly. Madan who is known for films embraced by class audience rnattempted a mass subject this time. He, however, falters in execution rnand the attempt to score success with silly comedy blocks goes terribly rnwrong. Predictable screenplay is what makes 'Garam' a boring watch.

Therern is nothing much happening in the first one hour, except for one or two rncomedy scenes. Routine Sequences & Songs spoil the movie watching rnexperience. Interval Bang brings a bit of relief and even the emotional rnFlashback is passable. There after, Director makes a wrong step again byrn focusing on the comedy blocks rather than taking the actual story rnforward. Excessive runtime is a result of too many unnecessary rnsequences. Masses in B & C Centres might embrace 'Garam' to some rnextent due to the presence of heroism elevation scenes and fights.

Bottom Line:
Routine 'Garam' Masala!
