Gaganachari’s Users Reviews
Many people have commended the film for its aggressive filming style, which visually encompasses the whole film while also making it gorgeous and fascinating. Many people have applauded the major actors’ performances as well as the director’s presentation of the mockumentary, which avoided clichés.
A user wrote, “A bold and unprecedented endeavor from Mollywood, lead by a terrific Ganesh Kumar and ably assisted by Gokul Suresh and Aju Varghese. A new take on the sci-fi genre with a mix-up of mockumentaries set in a dystopian society that is expertly presented.”
Another one wrote, “A high conceptual film which sticks to its core and delivers an appreciable film. Humours have come out well with #GaneshKumar shining. The narration style is not everyone’s cup of tea though. If you like experimental films watch it.”
@SajinShrijith wrote, “So #Gaganachari, this brilliantly quirky, humourous sci-fi Malayalam mockumentary is releasing tomorrow. I loved it a lot, had reviewed it, and l hope it does well in theatres. We need to encourage such efforts, especially ones that pull off a lot with little budgets. Go watch.”
SmartBarani wrote, “A mockumentary movie set in a future 2050..the city with constant floods and alien invasion, fun and entertaining in most parts.. Aju vargese & Anarkali. The concept and film making of the movie was really good considering its budget though… some scenes are really good
The story progression falls flat .. pre-climax was less impressive and very okayish … Felt screenplay could have been little better with more ideas.. Overall a decent entertainer !! Rating : 3.25/5″
Gaganachari Reviews on Twitter
The most remarkable feature of Gaganachari is its world-building. While a Western imagination largely dominates post-apocalyptic landscapes in cinema, Arun Chandu creates a native landscape in which overgrown trees, serene backwaters, drowned stadiums, and abandoned paddy fields evoke an unsettling sense of danger that is relatable and not too far-fetched for Malayalis.
Surjith S Pai’s cinematography, together with Sankar Sharma’s soundtrack and Ceejay Achu’s edits (co-edited by Aravind Manmadhan), keep Gaganachari’s universe together and ignite suspense till the conclusion. The special effects are well-done, a surprising feat in an era when even massive star-vehicle pictures are burdened down by shockingly amateur computer-generated graphics (CGI).
