‘Gulaebagavalli’ makes no pretensions about its
motive. It’s an entertainer and succeeds in doing just that. As long as you
don’t take it seriously nor look for something to ponder upon or analyse
critically, ‘Gulaebagavalli’ is ideal to keep your stress at bay. The slapstick
comedy will keep you chuckling. Well, sometimes, one needs that kind of a film to
let the hair down.
Directed by Kalyaan S ‘Gulaebagavalli’ takes viewers on a treasure hunt to the eponymous village where lies hidden a treasure chest packed with gems dating to the British era.
Badri (Prabhu Deva) a thief, whose skill lies in smuggling antique idols is on a new mission to Gulaebagavalli. He soon has company with three others joining him on this quest-Viji, (Hansika Motwani) a young woman, whom he falls in love with at first sight; Maasha (Revathy) a middle aged woman and a trickster and Munish (Ramdoss) who is sent to keep an eye on Badri.
If the content lacks on anything new and interesting and even defies logic, it makes it up with its humour. The jokes are sometimes silly too, but it’s not easy keeping a straight face.
Revathy surprises in a never before seen role and
the veteran has played it out well. Prabhu Deva’s dance moves keep you
enthralled. Director Kalyan also takes a dig at the must have formula followed
in our cinema. Look out for the scenes with comedians Sathya- a policeman who
is easily conned and Mottai Rajendran –on his amma (mother) sentiment. It’s a
laugh riot.
