Gaali Sampath Analysis
Gaali Sampath is completely based on Rajendra Prasad and his performance. The film looks outdated right from the first frame. The entertainment and the Fi Fi language irritates the audience. The love story between Sree Vishnu and Lovely Singh too makes no impact. The interval portions of the film are shot well. The film lacks good quality and is made on a strict budget. On the whole, the first half of Gaali Sampath is disappointing.
Gaali Sampath’s Strength Is Its Story: Sree Vishnu Published by GulteDesk March 09, 2021
Sree Vishnu, whose next Gaali Sampath is releasing on 11th March, shares that the strength of the film lies in its story. He says that story is what has impressed him the most. Vishnu admits that Gaali Sampath was not part of his initial line-up and it suddenly came into the picture after lockdown.
“It began when director Anil Ravipudi garu called me one fine day and told me that he would like to narrate a story to me and I was quite surprised. Producers too had informed me that Anil garu wants me to narrate the story. When he did, I was so stunned and excited as this was not the story that he would usually pick. Without any second thought, I’ve said yes. I didn’t even know who was going to direct the film, but I said yes to the film. Since, stories like these need acceptance from actors. This would make many star directors like Anil Ravipudi garu take this experimental route,”
