By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 25 Oct 2026 4:17 PM ISTIn the film industry, sharing an honest opinion about a movie is not always easy. Sometimes social media reviews can appear biased towards certain heroes and their films. But Mahesh Babu's son Gautam Ghattamaneni, seems to be following a different path. His latest review of Nani's The Paradise has become a talking point on social media.
Gautam recently gave just one star to The Paradise after watching it on Netflix. His review surprised many people because he is a fan of Nani's Jersey. Gautam appreciated the cinematography and acting in emotional scenes, but he was not happy with the other parts of the film. He also criticised the editing and openly explained why the movie disappointed him.
What makes his review interesting is that he did not give the film a better rating simply because he likes Nani's previous work. He shared his opinion based on his experience of watching the movie. This has made many movie lovers curious about his choices and the way he reviews films.
Gautam is the son of superstar Mahesh Babu. Naturally, people may expect him to support popular actors and their movies. However, his reviews suggest that he wants to judge films on their own merits. He has also shared his opinions on his father's movies, which has increased interest in his Letterboxd account.
Currently movie reviews play an important role in creating discussions among audiences. Sometimes, fans support a film even when they have not watched it while others criticise movies because of their personal preferences. In such a situation, an honest review can help people understand different points of view.
Gautam's one-star rating does not mean that everyone should dislike The Paradise. Every viewer has a different taste, and people may enjoy a film that others do not like. However, the important point is that Gautam appears comfortable expressing his opinion without worrying too much about the reactions.
At just 20, he is already attracting attention for his movie choices and straightforward comments. Instead of giving importance only to star power, he seems interested in the actual quality of filmmaking.
