Ghani Movie Review: In the film, Ghani (Varun Tej) is the son of a tainted boxer. His father has been caught cheating while using drugs and narcotics while boxing.
He is being called a cheater. The basic plot of the film is how Ghani breaks free from his father’s name and achieves his goal of winning a boxing tournament (a dream of his father).
Ghani’s mother (Nadiya) does not allow her to engage in boxing. How Ghani turns his attention to boxing, hides it from his mother and what her reaction is, ultimately makes up the overall film.
Ghani Movie Review
Varun Tej’s performance in the role of Ghani should be seen from two perspectives. One is physicality, and the other is acting. The effort is visible when it comes to the former, and it works as intended during the training montage song and the climax fight block.
He appears well built and impressive, which adds to his presence on screen. Although talking about acting, Varun Tej’s acting is probably good, perhaps there was a lack of the right director.
Kiran Korrapati has directed the film (Ghani Movie Review)
Kiran Korrapati made her directorial debut as the director of Ghani. He has chosen a simple yet difficult style to succeed in his first attempt. We know why this is so and we are seeing Ghani.
As we have mentioned many times in the past, the game style looks simple but is extremely difficult to execute attractively.
The main issue is the predictable beats he has to follow. Sports genre movies have tons of clichés that they have to contain. The challenge lies in introducing them anew.
Director Kiran makes a big mistake in this matter. In the first fifteen minutes, everything related to the story of Ghani has been exposed.
We know firsthand where this film is going and can second guess how. The challenge lies in coming up with something new in terms of reaching the end of the ‘how’.
Unfortunately, we don’t see anything – the lack of flashy drama only magnifies the effect. The entire love track screams cliché in the first half.
A good job was done in the second half
The second half maintains a good starting momentum and proceeds the same way. Nothing new, but some blocks work. The title song immediately comes to mind, and then the two boxes match towards the end.
They are done neatly and attract attention intermittently. In the second half, the problem is again the cliched and old drama. It’s better than the first because it sticks to the subject and goes on its way.
Despite boxing’s good moments and aggression, the ending is thin due to typical and predictable drama.
Overall, Ghani is a dazzling sports film with a decent cast and production value. Sadly, all of its drama is out of date, with a predictable story just up to the hype. It ends up as a low-end film in the end.
Ghani movie characters
Ghani includes many artists. Even for small roles, we see remarkable faces. But, not all are suitable for the role and those who are, get half-hearted or completely predictable roles that lack surprises.
Nadia falls into that latter category. He’s decent, but we’ve seen him do the same thing before. Upendra is fine in a brief supporting role. It may be out of sync with the rest, but it’s a small effect.
Suniel Shetty gets the more predictable part of a coach. He is very good and does well. Jagapathi Babu gets another good antagonist part.
He has done many roles in the same way, and so despite his good work, it comes as no surprise. Naresh is a fine actor in his time, but as a boxing coach, he is completely misunderstood.
And in the end, Naveen Chandra started on a thrilling note but was sidelined in the second half with a half-baked one. The rest of the cast is fine.
