Golconda High School Movie Review- Save the Ground

Golconda High School stars Sumanth,Swati Reddy(Colors Swati) in the lead roles. Tanikella Bharani, Subbaraju,Shafi,The Kids: Santosh,Sangeet,Srinivas Sai,Farooq,Lalith,and some others, are in other main roles. The movie is directed and written by Mohan Krishan Indraganti, music is by Kalyani Malik. This movie is all about cricket, which gives me another reason to like it;first reason being that what I watched was a MOVIE.:P 


Story: Kireet(Subaraju) wants to build a IIT and MCET coaching center on the playground of Golconda High School. But the principal of GHS(Tanikella Bharani) doesn't want that to happen. So Kireet's like oh then show progress! Then the principal says ok, and he says he will improve the Cricket team. So the principal hires Sampath(Sumanth) who was a former student and cricket captain of GHS. What happens after this forms the rest of the story....


Performances: Sumanth was adamant, yet sweet in his role as a coach. Okay, now seriously was Swati necessary?! No. Not at all, she was a waste of footage. She really had nothing to do, I mean she looked gorgeous in saris but nothing to do with the story. But it was shocking for me to see why Swati would pick such a role, when she has picked roles like in "Astha Chemma" or Subramaniyapuram. The real show stealers were the kids! Each kid in the movie, had a different personality but one goal. All them are future actors for sure. :) Subbaraju has a different type of evil tint to his role, you will understand it when you see it. Shafi has a comedy tint to his role :D Tanikella Bharani is obviously good, not the first time he has done a role like this. Great cast :) 


The movie is directed by "Astha Chemma" fame Mohan, so there are high expectations. He lives up to them, though there isn't much comedy; the comedy comes out from the kids. The music is western with light beats. 







Pros:

• Casting 
• Story
• Music
• The Kids(though they are part of casting, they deserve special mention)
• Direction

Cons:

• Swati's useless role :(
• Not enough depth in some parts.....

Watch it!! :)) Its a very cute movie :) And its a breezy entertainer 


4/5 ****/***** I don't see why it doesn't deserve a 4 star rating :)

Three hits of Tollywood

Though the year 2010 ended on a bitter note with huge losses for Tollywood, January 2011 brought some respite in the form of three films that worked at the box office. If our sources in film industry are to be believed, 'Mirapakaya' of Raviteja is doing good business even after two weeks after its release.

'Golconda High School' starring Sumanth evoked good response from multiplex audience and ditto with Nani's 'Ala Modalaindi'.

'Ala Modalaindi' a slapstick comedy with hero playing 'Gay' shade charecter, released without much publicity is running housefull in several theatres and many a places, theatres have been increased for this movie as the collections are encouraging.The word of mouth publicity for this film is strong and young audience are thronging to theatres.
