Introduction:
Geethanjali Malli Vachindh marks the much-awaited return, celebrating Anjali’s milestone 50th film. Under the direction of Shiva Turlapati and production of Kona Venkat and MVV Satyanarayana, the film aims to blend humor with spine-tingling moments. Let’s dissect whether it accomplishes this ambitious feat.
Plot Summary:
In “Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi,” we follow the journey of “Ayaan” (Satya) and “Seenu” (Srinivasa Reddy), two aspiring filmmakers facing a stroke of luck when “Vishnu” (Rahul Madhav), a businessman, offers them the opportunity to shoot at his allegedly haunted palace, “Sangeeth Mahal.” With “Anjali” (Anjali) as the lead actress, they embark on a cinematic adventure, only to unravel a world of eerie occurrences, unveiling the mysteries concealed within the palace and Vishnu’s intentions.
Pros and Cons:
The film is buoyed by Satya’s impeccable comedic timing, supplemented by Sunil’s entertaining performance. Anjali shines in her role, leading a talented ensemble cast. However, despite these strengths, “Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi” struggles with a predictable plot and underdeveloped characters, particularly Rahul Madhav’s antagonist portrayal. Additionally, supporting actors like Ali and Srikanth Iyengar are underutilized, with Anjali’s character sidelined, depriving her of significant screen time. The climax feels rushed, failing to provide a satisfying resolution to the ghostly subplot.
Technical Aspects:
Shiva Turlapati’s direction is commendable, although the screenplay falls short of elevating the film. Pravin Lakkaraju’s music and Sujatha Siddhartha’s cinematography enhance the narrative, albeit modestly. Chota K Prasad’s editing maintains the film’s pace, while the production values meet industry standards.
Verdict:
“Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi” offers fleeting moments of entertainment but struggles to deliver a captivating cinematic experience. While the comedic elements provide relief, the film’s lack of originality and underdeveloped characters limit its potential. Viewers seeking light-hearted amusement may find it worth a watch, but those craving substance might want to explore alternative options.
