Review
Gangs of Godavari movie is set in the 1980s, when Rathna was a small criminal, but he created a collapse between two politicians and became MLA himself in a fearless mood.
The acting gangster and dialogue delivery of Vishwak Sen, especially before the interval, was fabulous. The acting by Anjali was also delivered very nicely.
BGM, music, and songs add an extra plus point to the movie, and the story of the movie is also good, which engages you till the end.
The first half of the movie is full of fighting sequences, but in the second half, after becoming MLA, fighting sequence decrease, which affects the movie.
Overall, it is a masala movie, which is very good; it is a must-watch for action and masala lovers.
