Well, it's too late to write a review for a movie from 2006 but could not stop from writing it for such a nice movie. When I watched the movie was indeed taken aback to find this kind of movie being made. Nothing great about the story but what makes it different is the presentation and the performances. Director indeed took a challenging job of taking up a regular story and presenting in an innovative way. Also, great job by cinematographer to portray beautifully various regions and banks of the Godavari river. Indeed it will tempt most of the audience to take up launch trip from Rajhmundry to Bhadrachalam. Contemporary presentation of Ram and Sita's characters and their interaction is very nice. Worth watching movie!!

By far the best Telugu movie I have seen. I am a Tamilian but I like Telugu movies. Godhavari really touched my heart, every moment of it was just pure emotions. The cute dog especially, hats-off to the creativity of the director and the graphics in-charge. Sumanth and Kamalini were great, the way Kamalini expresses her emotions in every scene is remarkable. Being a Bengali, acting and moving lips to a Telugu script must have been difficult, but she has done it with ease. The music was enchanting though I understood very little - the lyrics. The editing was also great, flawless. Hats off to the whole team of Godhavari.Suresh N

Godavari is one good core Telugu movie. Each and every character played in the movie can be identified in our daily life. The movie makes you feel like you are on a cradle swing. You don't really realize that the 2.5 hrs are up:). If someone really deserves an applause, he is Sekhar Kammula the director. For sure, he feels each and every character before he films it! After watching Anand and Godavari, I really feel like i am addict to his movies by now.And all the artists...god..they were at their best! The animation of Koti...the cute dog is awesome. Actually, most of the times...it just depicts the inner voice of us..the HUMANS! All the best Sekhar with your future ventures!

The other day when I was telling my mother how refreshing this movie was, she asked me why I thought it was so special. I said, "Imagine being out of hometown for a couple of weeks and living on junk food. When you return home and have simple homemade rice and curry, how do you feel?" In addition to capturing life around the lifeline of Andhra, Godavari, in a laudable manner, the movie makers put together a good cast. Radhakrishna embellished the movie by wrapping Veturi's lyrics in melodious tunes. Godavari might not be remembered by Thelugus four or five decades down the line like how Lavakusa is, but it can make any given evening pleasant and memorable. Anyone who loved movies that were made by Baapu or Viswanath (or one of their ilk) will add Sekhar Kammula to their list after watching this movie.Movies such as this salvage Thelugu cinema and rekindle hopes, in people like me, that there still are people who can make neat, simple, and straightforward Thelugu movies. Kudos to Kammula and his team!
