The Review of “Gangs of Godavari” Focuses
Critics pointed out The Gangs of Godavari did a good job of holding viewers’ interest during its fast-paced 2 hours and 26 minutes.
But they also noted that the story’s quick pace left viewers with little opportunity to truly sympathize with Rathna’s downward spiral.
Critics have noted that Rathna’s wife Bujji (Shetty) and confidante Rathnamala (Anjali) provide him with stability.
