6/10
Godfather- a massy ride of elevations
6 October 2022
Godfather is a 2022 film starring, Chiranjeevi, Nayanathara, Satyadev and Salman khan in the form of cameo. Firstly, this is an adaption a 2019 Malayalam movie(Lucifer). It's the highest grosser of the mollywood industry till date. Director Mohan raja has presented this flick(Godfather)in such a way where masses can relate to the original and yet enjoy the Mega star version.

Overview Jay (Satyadev) bassically the antagonist, wants to become the next Chief Minister when the state's Chief Minister PKR seen dead. Being the son-in -law of the ex CM, he starts playing mind games with the party members and tries to manipulate them for the votes and majority.

Bramha(Chiranjeevi) aka Godfather, the son of ex CM , interferes in between Jay's plans. Having huge influence and background , what plans does Bramha makes to stop Jay from being CM and creating menace in the state, needs to be watched.

Keeping the term 'politics' a sub plot, who and what Bramha is, was well showcased and gave the best elevations to the man of masses 'Mega Star' Chiranjeevi.

Director Mohan Raja managed well to not to copy paste the exact. His screenplay saved the film from the trolls. The changes made were impressive and well suited to the frame. The fights and few other sequences were although seemed little dramatic/over the top.

S. Thaman's songs were not upto the mark and therefore feels outdated. But the bgm was somewhat exciting. Production values were lit except some vfx scenes.

Talking about the performances Mega Star Chiranjeevi rocked the role and maintained the same emotion throughout the movie. Having said the story, this is the first time seeing Chiranjeevi in such a way where we can't expect comedy/ romance from him , but just action and elevations. Few dialogues are even relatable with his real life experiences.

Nayanathara as the ex CM's daughter was seen powerful.

All praises to Satyadev for his villainism. His action can never be judged and can never be recreated by others. He was fierce. The same character played by Vivek Oberoi in the original version gives the same impact yet different style.

And Salman Khan, his screen presence made people scream, masoom bhai seen as Bramha's brother from another mother who's ready to help him in tough times.

Other characters supported did well.

Positives As written above Action sequences and Star cast.

Direction and Screenplay Impressive writing Elevations Dialogues Few funny scenes added

Negatives Little similar to the original, can be said the negatives are Drag Songs Climax( was abrupt ) Characterisation of the lead was left unfinished.

The main elements from the movie Lucifer were neglected.

Verdict Defeating the losing streak, Mega Star Chiru bounced back with Godfather and justified the original version. Salman Khan's cameo can be said as the crowd puller.

Overall the movie remains overwhelming.
