Young hero Sumanth Prabhas is gearing up to charm with Godari Gattupaina, a breezy rural drama packed with romance, humour, and heartfelt family emotions. Directed by newcomer Subash Chandra and produced by Red Puppet Productions, the film stars Nidhi Pradeep as the female lead, with Jagapathi Babu playing a crucial role that adds weight to the narrative. After a positive response to the teaser and songs, the makers have now dropped the trailer.
At the film’s core is the sweet love story between Raju, a simple yet endearing auto driver, and Maaya, the college-going girl who rides in his auto every day. What begins as silent admiration gradually turns into love. Maaya reciprocates his feelings, but their path forward isn’t simple. Raju must win the approval of her protective father. Gaining his trust becomes the biggest challenge, turning their tender romance into an emotional battle of heart and values.
Sumanth Prabhas fits the village-boy role effortlessly, delivering charm and authenticity, especially with his Godavari slang. Nidhi Pradeep looks refreshing as Maaya, caught between the love she feels for Raju and the deep bond she shares with her father. Jagapathi Babu delivered a layered performance as the caring yet strict father, while Laila brings emotional depth as his wife. Sudarshan, Raj Kumar Kasireddy, and Viva Raghav add the required humour.
Director Subash Chandra chooses an organic rural love story enriched with family drama and light-hearted moments. While the romance carries its own charm, the father–daughter emotional arc becomes the film’s heartbeat. Cinematographer Sai Santhosh frames the rustic Godavari backdrop beautifully, and Naga Vamshi Krishna’s music elevates both the visuals and the storytelling. Production designer Pravalya and editor Anil Kumar P contribute effectively, with strong production values shaping the film’s world.
The trailer suggests that Godari Gattupaina is poised to appeal to both youth and families. The film hits theatres worldwide on May 8th.
