Ram (Jagapathi Babu) leads a peaceful and happy life in Bangkok with a successful coffee shop business and a loving family in the form of his beautiful wife Vidya (Vimala), doting son and a brainless brother in law (Harshavardhan). His life takes a turn with the arrival of two people from Hyderabad- a lawyer (Tanikella) and Shankar Narayana (Kota Prasad), son of politician Guru Narayana (Kota Srinivasa Rao), an aspiring CM through the crooked way. The trio suspects that Ram is none other than Durga, their age old rival who gave them sleepless nights. Shankar Narayana and his lawyer try several ways to confirm the true identity of Ram. Whether their doubts are true or not and what happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Jagapathi Babu has done it before so he didn’t have to strain much, however, he still maintains that intensity in his eyes and the icy violence in his baritone voice.
Vimala Raman is a screen scorcher, though her role is domestic, she shows her wild side in one song which is enough visual feast. She is a tempting seductress blended with good acting skills.
Kota Srinivasa Rao is the show stealer. Despite so many years, his class as an actor and his typical Telangana style dialogues are excellent.
Tanikella was another impressive performer. His character has got length and he fits into it with perfect caliber and screen presence.
Kota Prasad’s performance was effective, he has carried out his role with ease and the right kind of emotions. It is sad that we have lost a fine actor…
Ajay was brief, Ravi Kale was regular, Jeeva was natural, Tarzan was funny, Harshavardhan was average, Nagesh was a new face who is to be watched out for, he has shown potential, the others were there to fill the screen and contributed in their own way.
Any film coming from the house of Ram Gopal Varma comes with certain expectations and usually, the results are extreme- a super hit or massive flop. But this time, the director has managed to bring it a saving grace and he was sharp in carrying the film without much hiccups. The dialogues were good, the background score was neat, songs could have been better as they had a retro effect, cinematography was appealing, editing was crisp, costumes and art department made their presence felt. Here are a few highlights of the film
The first half of the film is a straight lift from the Hollywood movie ‘A History Of Violence’. It is a literal scene to scene lift.
The makers had bravely shown the exact political situation in the state and one can relate Kota’s character to KCR in many ways. Incidentally, there is a lot of truth in the portrayal. The connection between the original and sequel was convincing which is a challenging part.
Scenes from the original ‘Gaayam’ drew whistles and claps from the audience, it was nice to see the raw clippings
On the flip side, since the plot was already known, there was not much variety tried and this brings down the interest. Also, those who have seen the Hollywood movie may not find the first half too appealing since the English flick was awesome. There was an inconsistency in few emotional scenes and the graph fluctuates. Overall, the film runs well due to its racy narration, good continuation and some fine performances. At the box office, this would be an above average grosser but if the makers can push it with aggressive publicity, the film will surely strike the success mark.
Gayam 2 Movie Review:
The latest movie “Gaayam 2”, it is continuation of blockbuster Telugu movie
Gayam (1993) and it is an action thriller based movie in which Jagapathi Babu and Vimala Raman playing the main lead roles. This movie hit in the theater today.
The story begins with Ram (played by jagapathi babu) who runs a coffee shop in Bangkok and he has a happy family in the form of his wife Vidya (played by vimala), son and brother in law (harshavardhan). Things take a twist with the arrival of Shankar Narayana (kota prasad) with his lawyer (tanikella). They believe that Ram is none but Durga, the arch enemy of Guru Narayana (kota). They come up with different effort to confirm if Ram is Durga but Ram persists he is not so.
The cast and crew of this movie are: Jagapathi Babu; Kota; Vimala Raman; Tanikella; Kota Prasad; Harshavardhan; Ajay; Tarzan; Nagesh; Ravi Kale; Jeeva; Revathi; and Siva Krishna. The film is directed by Praveen Sri. The music of this movie is given by Ilayaraja.
The film happens to be a continuation to the original movie ‘Gaayam’ which came many years ago. Although the 1st half was a lift from a Hollywood film, the 2nd half was great in connection and it syncs well with the audience. While there were hiccups in the emotional graph and few critical scenes, overall the pace and the narration make it watchable. At the box office, this should be an above average comedian and if word of mouth goes appropriately then it will be a hit.
Behind the Movie Gaayam 2: Going back to History, Ramgopal Varma’s ‘Gaayam’ was a sensation which rocked entire Andhra Pradesh. With same Jagapathi Babu in the lead role and Varma’s protege Praveen Sri taking the megaphone; there was good interest generated on this sequel which is of course presented by Varma himself. Let us see, how far this sequel matched the standards of Varma’s brilliance?
In the Movie Gaayam 2: Movies starts in Bangkok where in Ram (Jagapathi Babu), his wife Vidya (Vimala Raman), his brother-law Harsha (Harshavardhan) and their kid Chaitu are a happy family running a coffee shop leading a peaceful and affectionate life. During one of the violent situations, Ram kills two of the local criminals and shots away into local TV channels.
On shifting the focus to Hyderabad, Home Minister Guru Narayan (Kota Srinivas Rao), his son Shankar Narayan (Kota Prasad) and lawyer (Tanikella Bharani) get a glimpse of Ram on TV screens and were shocked to find his resemblances with Durga (Jagapathi Babu of ‘Gaayam’). Soon, Shankar Narayan and lawyer reach Bangkok to find the real identity of Ram. Their nightmare turns into reality. Yes, Ram is none other than Durga.
Now, it is turn for Ram aka Durga to explain his flashback to Vidya. (Here is where glitches of ‘Gaayam’ are shown once again establishing the old characters and their rivalry). In ‘Gaayam’ first part, after Guru Narayan has been sent to prison, he comes back and kills the entire family of Durga and Anitha (Revathi) in a bomb blast. To fulfill Anitha’s last words of living in peace, Durga changes his name to Ram and leaves to Bangkok along with Anitha’s only son Chaitu.
As Guru Narayan is now aware of Durga being still alive attempts to kill Chaitu and this makes Ram to once again become Durga and enter Hyderabad to settle the old scores. How did Durga take on Guru Narayan this time erasing both his son and lawyer? How did Durga with help of Ali Khan and ACP Prasad Murthi (Ravi Kale) blast the dreams of Guru Narayan becoming Chief Minister? form rest of the story.
Values of the Movie Gaayam 2: Thanks that Varma always leaves space in his climaxes to thread out sequels. Same do apply even for ‘Gaayam’ but that was from Varma and this is from Praveen Sri. This single line is enough for intelligent readers to understand the output of ‘Gaayam 2.’ Screenplay from Rajendra Reddy lacked the basic quality connection. Camerawork by Anil Bhandari was good both in catching the beautiful Bangkok and dreadful Hyderabad. Edititng by Praveen Pudi was better. Gandham Nagaraju and Mallu Ravi Reddy seems to have tried their best to match the standards of ‘Gaayam’ dialogues Story wise, Praveen Sri has more concentrated on family drama and politics. Direction by Praveen Sri was okay but an obvious comparison comes into play and the set backs were clearly visible. Music by Ilayaraja was superb for one song ‘Endukamma Prema Prema…’ and background, re-recording, what a man he is.
Performance wise, Jagapathi Babu is still at his best handling Durga character with same elegance and as a family man in Bangkok, he was at the same élan. Vimala Raman was better match for the role and she has very less to perform except a scintillating number with too many lip locks and good skin show in erotic body postures. Kota Srinivas Rao is again at his best repeating the ‘Gaayam’ magic and same do apply even for Tanikella. Next is Late Kota Prasad, donned a fierce character which surely remains one of the highlights of the film. Comedy by Harshavardhan creates no impact and others like Ravi Kale, Ajay and others were apt.
Out of the Movie Gaayam 2: A sequel to ‘Gaayam’ requires guts to take it on par with abilities of Varma. Praveen Sri is appreciable for daring it. The way he conceived the story till first half was better and when Durga comes into picture, suddenly audience demand more of intense and gripping movements and this is where ‘Gaayam 2’ disappoints. Bringing a mix of worst side of politics and media, too many betrayals in these two gangs contemplated with rivalry has spoiled the real essence of ‘Gaayam 2.’ Praveen Sri tried the trick of Benarjee’s role in ‘Gaayam’ too many times in ‘Gaayam 2’ showing no novelty.
Jagapathi Babu has taken enough care of showing the differences in both the characters (Durga and Ram) that includes the settled expressions (with eyes), costumes and dialogue delivery. ‘Endukamma Prema Prema…’ song was too erotically picturized for catering the mass audience, of course doesn’t help the main story in any way. But, lyrical excellence like ‘Niggadeesi Adugu…,’ ‘Alupannadi Undaa…’ and ‘Surajyam Avaleni Swaraajyam Endukani…’ in 'Gaayam' is totally missing in ‘Gaayam 2.’
Movie begins with director’s brief view of story (a snake catching a frog and then saving its life from getting under a car) and then establishes the characters and love of Ram and Vidya. When Hyderabad comes into picture, movie grabs the interest and Praveen Sri has taken long time to get back the real link with ‘Gaayam.’ History comes back only in second half with less of emotional content build up, running to a poor climax seen many a times in recent movies.
Praveen Sri’s intelligent finishing of movie without showing the fate of Kota’s character doubt about intentions of coming with ‘Gaayam 3.’
Jagapathi Babu’s performance, Vimala’s hot sex appeal, Kota and his son’s performance, good cinematography, Ilayaraja’s back ground and re-recording are positives for ‘Gaayam 2.
'Gaayam 2' - Get ready for Varma`s 'Gaayam 3'
Gaayam 2 is sequel of blockbuster telugu movie Gayam (1993) and it is an action thriller based movie in which, Jagapathi Babu and Vimala Raman playing the main lead roles.
