Gayatri

Dialogue King Mohan Babu Manchu is terrific in the role of Gayatri Patel and nice in the role of Sivaji. He is too good in his two variant roles and he has given his best whether in dialogues or in body language. Manchu Vishnu as younger Sivaji and he is good in the role. Shriya Saran is fine and her looks are good. Anasuya Bharadwaj is okay in her journalist role. Nikhil Vimal is good. Ali, Brahmanandam, Satyam Rajesh, Posani Krishna Murali and Prudhvi tried to generate few laughs.

Nothing But MB

Mohan Babu gets a tailor-made role that is suitable to his style. The dialogues are written with a lot of intent to make a political statement. There is a scope of little variation, and the senior actor plays it all to the galleries with the right effect.Apart from Mohan Babu, the three female leads in the movie Shriya, Anasuya, and Nikhila Vimal have got good roles, even though the length is small. They have put up a genuine act in the respective parts. Manchu Vishnu appears in a brief segment, and he is alright.

Director Madan Ramigami has his task cut out with a script like Gayatri. On paper, it is an old emotional tale. The director could have infused some fresh colors to it, but sadly that is not the case.

The film begins interestingly, but very soon become tiresome. It is only towards the interval that some momentum is built. It is carried forward in the second half via the flashback. Overall, if one doesn’t mind all the dated qualities on display, there are few engaging moments in the second half, mainly the pre-climax.
