Sri Chidambaram Garu Movie Review & Rating!

“Sri Chidambaram Garu” caught attention with its teaser, and the trailer and songs kept the same energy. Now, let’s see how the new team has impressed the audience.

Sri Chidambaram Garu Story: Solomon (Vamsi Thummala) is a simple construction worker living in Pullangi, a village near Rajahmundry. He spends his earnings repaying the debts left by his father and lives peacefully with his mother. Because of his squinty eye, people in the village mock him and call him Chidambaram.

Hiding his pain behind dark glasses, he continues his life silently. When the girl he loves also points out his flaw, Solomon becomes determined to fix it, leading him to discover an important truth about life.

Performances: Though Vamsi worked very hard as an actor, Sandhya stood out with a stronger performance. From her Christian look to the Godavari accent, she handled everything neatly, especially shining in emotional scenes.

Vamsi impressed despite the challenge of acting with a squint eye, portraying inner pain with subtle emotion. Gopinath entertained well in limited scenes, though more screen time was missed. Kalppalatha and Tulasi appeared very natural and convincing in the mother roles.

Technical Aspects: The music by Chandu and Ravi is soothing and pleasant, making both the songs and background score enjoyable even on their own. Keeravani’s “Velle Darilona” stands out for its meaning and connection to the story, while the lyrics are rich.

Ram’s cinematography is impressive, with well-composed frames, suitable color tones, and effective use of the Pullangi location. Sync sound is handled neatly, giving an organic feel. Director Vinay Ratnam brings novelty in story but falters in emotional depth, especially in the second half. While his ideas are fresh, better handling of drama and conflict is needed.

Analysis: Natural storytelling works best when backed by strong emotions. Vinay Ratnam and his team missed that balance. With a better conflict and a more sensitive realization point, “Sri Chidambaram Garu” could have stood out, but it ends up as a simple, average film.

Verdict: With honest performances and a pleasing setup, “Sri Chidambaram Garu” shows promise. However, the lack of strong emotional impact and a solid conflict keeps it from rising higher, making it a decent one-time watch.

Bottom Line: Sincere film with missed potential

Rating: 2.5/5
