Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu - Movie Review
After the super success of Gabbar Singh, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan has wisely chosen director Puri Jagannath to helm his next movie Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu. The director does not let him down. He has wonderful story and politically charged dialogues to help Pawan to rock the audience once again after Gabbar Singh. Pawan Kalyan is the showman in the movie.
Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu is an action movie and Pawan Kalyan's electrifying performance is the main attraction in the film. Puri Jagannath's message-oriented story and punch dialogues, Mani Sharma's hit music, Shyam K Naidu's excellent camerawork, stunning choreography of action and dance sequences, Bramhanandam's comedy, beautiful artwork, costumes and locations are its other highlights.
Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu can be called a political satire. The movie throws light on caste based politics prevailing in the state and the country. It shows how politicians are dividing people especially students in the name of caste for their vote bank. Puri Jagannath has used his politically charged dialogues to condemn current politics.
Besides having an interesting storyline, Puri Jagannath has managed to have good grip on the tempo, which never lets you down throughout the movie. The first half is quite interesting with a couple of songs, comedy and action sequences. In the second half, the hero takes on a politician and his energetic performance and dialogue delivery keep you glued to the screens. The emotional and politically charged climax is simply superb.
Rambabu (Pawan Kalyan) is a hot blooded person, who gets involved in social responsibilities. Ganga (Tamanna), who is a technician of a TV channel, asks Rambabu to join her office as journalist after he involves in two big war between two student gangs about cast system. Meanwhile, Ranababu (Prakash Raj) enters politics as a heir of his father (Kota Srinivasa Rao). Rambabu gets into fight with Ranababu. What happens next will form the crux of the story.
As usual, Pawan Kalyan is at his best and his performance is much better than in Gabbar Singh. He rocks the viewers in comedy, action and dance sequences. What stands out in his acting is his dialogue delivery, which is sure to stun everyone. Tamanna also rocks as glam doll and she has done good job as TV journalist. As second heroine, Gabriela Bertante has failed to deliver good acting. As villainous politician, Prakash Raj impresses you again. Bramhanandam's comedy is good but lacks freshness. Nasser, MS Narayana, Dharmavarapu, Kota and others are good in their respective roles.
On the technical front, Mani Sharma's music is the main highlight and his compositions like 'Jorramochinde' and 'Extraordinary' will impress you a lot. Cinematographer Shyam K Naidu has done a good job especially in the song sequences. Puri's dialogues have lot of punch and surely get whistles in turn. The choreography of action and dance sequences is simply superb. SR Shekhar's editing is also commendable.
Verdict: The story of Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu is not very fresh as it has already been dealt in Mahesh Babu's Businessman. What strikes you in the film is the way Puri has presented this subject on screen. Pawan Kalyan's performance stands out in it. It is a good treat for both class and mass audience, and it is a must watch film for the Powerstar fans.

Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu
Synopsis: Rambabu (Pawan) is a mechanic who cannot stand injustice. Thanks to a quirk of fate, he becomes a Television journalist and goes about fixing the society.
Movie Review: We'll begin with a disclaimer: Nobody goes to a Pawan Kalyan film looking for an immersive cinema experience per se. With the exception of the film critics, the majority of the viewing audience, be they fans or not, just go to watch him do his thing. Well, that's pretty much the universal operating principle for most big star Telugu films and this one is no different. The movie, it seems, is director Puri Jagannath's euphemism for "Pawanism". Don't ask us what that means but it sure seems to get his fans to break into a frenzy. Perhaps that's the magic of cinema rooted in personality cult!
The film even has Pawan taking potshots at himself! "Pawan Kalyan asale thikkodu, oka gun theesukoni kalchesthadu," (Pawan Kalyan is a crazy guy and he could even bump you off with his gun) goes a dialogue in the movie. "Ramudini Thaluchukunte Punyam Vasthundi, kani Rambabu ni thalchukunte nee chavu breaking news ga vasthundi," goes another dialogue. It has to be said that Pawan does a fabulous job of being himself as ever. His mannerisms are spot on as is the intensity in his dialogue delivery.
It's a character that's right up his alley. Rambabu is the angry young son of a wronged woman whose fight for justice lands her in a mental asylum, which is where she gives birth to him, it is revealed. He grows up to become a mechanic with a penchant for setting more than just defunct automobiles right and has a Che Guevara picture painted on a wall in his room.
Rambabu thinks individual responsibility comes before social responsibility and that we must be good people first to create a better world for ourselves. "Na kutumbani ee rashtram patinchu ko poyina, nenu matram ee rashtrani pattinchukuntanu (though this state has failed to take care of my family I will take care of this state)," he declares in the end as the credits begin to roll.
The movie begins on a seemingly serious note with a montage of grainy newsreels of YS Rajasekhara Reddy's Padayatra, Jagan Mohan Reddy's Odarpu Yatra, Telangana agitations, Sachin Tendulkar... that is, clippings of some of the most sensational news stories of the recent past playing to a serious background score.
Pawan makes his entry in characteristic style by settling a squabble between two student groups representing different castes. He does so by beating up every one of them and giving a speech to the media. That lands him a job as a journalist in a leading news channel and he goes about his job making arousing speeches, beating up politicians and so on and so forth.
He earns the wrath of a scheming former chief minister, Jawahar Naidu (Kota), who looks a little too much like Karunanidhi. Prakash Raj plays his son Rana Babu, a wannabe politician.
What plays out seems like a layman's take on the media-politician nexus that is resolved by one far-fetched climax. The movie works largely because of the second-half. Although it's low on logic it's pretty high on emotion. Also, the background score plays its part. The music by Mani Sarma is passable but his background score is much better. The visuals are alright. The dialogues are easily the best part of the film, besides Pawan, that is.
Did we forget Tamannaah? Well she's as pretty as ever, but is unfortunately reduced to being no more than of ornamental value in the film.
Tip-Off: Well it's cheesy alright but there's enough entertainment value in it provided you leave your brains home
'Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu' Review: This Telugu film is an engaging watch
'Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu' is not just a perfect follow up to 'Gabbar Singh' but even surpasses it in many departments.
Puri, who disappointed everybody with 'Devudu Chesina Manushulu', ensures unadulterated entertainment and thought-provoking moments in his latest offering.
When a righteous journalist is killed by a corrupt politician named Rana Babu, a socially responsible mechanic Ramnabu, played by Pawan Kalyan, turns to journalism after being persuaded by Ganga, played by Tamannaah, to expose crimes of the politician.
However, Rambabu did not anticipate that, as a journalist, he was always expected to play by the books. Irked by the situation, he steps down as a journalist and clashes horns with Rana Babu.
How will Rambabu stop Rana at all costs from becoming the next chief minister forms the rest of the story.
Puri takes a dig at the political state of affairs in Andhra Pradesh. The scenes that unfold mirrors the current condition of people in the state. Sensitive issues such as Telangana and riots among college students are addressed intelligently.
Of course, the style Puri chooses may appear cliched but on the whole, he does stir the mind.
The audiences will be engaged by Pawan's dynamism and Puri's powerful dialogues and his narration at breakneck speed.
The film keeps you hooked, especially during comical moments involving Brahmanandam and Ali. Puri brilliantly uses these comedians to emphasise on the flawed, over-hyped and unethical media in this country.
One particular scene between Brahmanandam and Pawan in the newsroom is hilarious and appreciative.
Pawan performs with ease and elan and his timing for comedy is commendable.
Tamannaah is impressive in her role and proves she is one of the best actresses in the industry. Kota Srinivasa Rao and Prakash Raj, playing father and son (villains), are maniacal and brilliant.
However, the role essayed by Prakash seems similar to the one he played in 'Businessman'.
Puri has once again proved his mettle as a scriptwriter and director. Although the film may partly appear superfluous, he and Pawan do manage to grab your attention.
Mani Sharma's music may not appeal to everyone, it is sure to impress Pawan fans.

The movie has released amidst huge expectations and check out Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu (CGTR) movie review to know more about the movie.
Story:
Rambabu (Pawan kalyan) is a responsible citizen and fights against all odds in the society. Unlike others, he reacts immediately for the news and tries to rescue the needy. Ganga (Tamanna) works for a regional news channel and persuades Rambabu to join the team after knowing about his character. Opposition leader Jawahar Naidu(Kota Srinivasa Rao) gives sleepless nights to the Chief Minister of the state (Nasser) and his only aim is to see his son Rana Babu (Prakash Raj) as Chief Minister. Does Rana Babu becomes CM ? How does Rambabu try to bring a change in the society forms the rest of the story.
Analysis :
The first half of Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu is laced with couple of heart touching scenes and entertainment. Director Puri Jagannadh has tried to establish the character of Rambabu in the first half and this hour is good in parts. The second half of Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu is the soul of the movie. Pawan Kalyan is amazing and once again has come up with a brilliant performance. Be it in comedy, his pot shots on the present state of politics has hit the bulls eye and received thumping response from the audience. The scenes like Pawan Kalyan interviewing Prakash Raj before his padayatra(the Telugu Talli episode), the cross dressers fight and the way Pawan Kalyan explains about the difference between extraordinary and ordinary women are fantastic.
Director Puri Jagannadh has carried the movie with par excellence and he needs a round applause for the way he has executed the script. Especially, this half of the movie deals with contemporary issues and apparently awakens social responsibility in every individual. He presented each and every element in a distinct way and apparently it will be received with a great response from the audience. Though, the climax episode have resemblance with Chiranjeevi's 'Tagore', it has been dealt in a different way as per the script. The narration is gripping through out and the song 'Melikal Tirugunte' stands out as the winner.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Director Puri Jagannadh has done fantastic homework and has presented Pawan Kalyan in a versatile role. The script is tailor made for Pawan Kalyan and I’m sure his fans will love it to the core. The movie has been shot in less than 3 months time and Puri has done a commendable job in showcasing what exactly he has written in the script. He is successful in using Pawan Kalyan to the potential and in fact, only Pawan Kalyan can do justice for these kind of films that deal with several burning issues of the society. Puri has targeted several politicians and several issues with elan and with a fantastic conviction. And it is a delight to watch Pawan Kalyan uttering dialogues in reference to the society.
Though it has some limitations, the love angle between the lead pair has been showcased well. Overall, Puri Jagannadh has come up with a right script and apt star cast and Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu is a feast for Pawan Kalyan fans and normal audience. The range of the movie will depend upon the crowd pulling capacity of Powerstar and all I can say is this movie is going to set new milestones in terms of collections at box office. The openings will be huge and apparently Pawan Kalyan is going to give tough fight for the #1 position of Tollywood.
Performances:
Pawan Kalyan is excellent and carried the movie on his shoulders. He marvels in dialogue delivery, comedy timing and needless to say in action episodes as well. This movie will appease all sections of audience for sure and this is a one man show. Tamanna is a delight to watch and has delivered a wonderful performance. Kota Srinivasa Rao is good and Prakash Raj is superb. Ali and Brahmanandam evoked few smiles. Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam is neat. Gabriela Bertante has delivered a decent performance. Scarlet Wilson sizzled in an item song.
Technicalities:
SR Sekhar editing could have been better. Shyam K Naidu's Cinematography is outstanding. Music by Mani Sharma is OK and background score is excellent. Screenplay and dialogues by Puri Jagannadh are fantastic. The last dialogue 'Ee Rashtram naa kutumbam gurinchi pattinchukokapoina nenu ee rashtram gurinchi pattinchunta' received stupedous response from the audience. Stunts by Vijay are too good.
Positives:
Pawan Kalyan's brilliant performance
Puri Jagannadh's screenplay and dialogues
BGM
Negatives:
OK first half
lack of entertainment
Final Word: Watch out Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu (CGTR) for Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's excellent performance and Puri Jagannadh's superb dialogues and direction.

The last dialogue 'Ee Rashtram naa kutumbam gurinchi pattinchukokapoina nenu ee rashtram gurinchi pattinchunta' received stupedous response from the audience. Stunts by Vijay are too good.
Positives:
Pawan Kalyan's brilliant performance
Puri Jagannadh's screenplay and dialogues
BGM
Negatives:
OK first half
lack of entertainment
Final Word: Watch out Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu (CGTR) for Powerstar Pawan Kalyan's excellent performance and Puri Jagannadh's superb dialogues and direction.
