Guntur Talkies Review...
nksrinath16513 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Concept...

Two guys experience unpredictable incidents.

Positives...

1) One of the best *modern* comedy I have seen. 2) Rashmi Gautham's sexiness 3) Cinematography by Ram Reddy is neat. The execution was done very well. 4) A very unpredictable story if you are watching for the first time.

Negatives...

1) Shradda Das has failed to make any impact. She basically plays a gangster prostitute who only rapes the main protagonist constantly because he winked at her one time. (WTF ??) She had no character development other than a gangster prostitute. 2) Constant use of the word *ass* (in Telugu). Gets annoying after a while. 3) Excessive and unnecessary use of expletives. 4) Till interval scenes like these and some petty crime act run on. Post interval there is some story but again it runs on double meaning dialogues. 5) Comedy sometimes gets repetitive.

Rating...

6.0/10

Conclusion...

"Guntur Talkies" is low-standard comedy that can be enjoyed by a section of audience for its sexual tease. I did some scenes very well so it doesn't make it a bad movie. However watching it a second time won't have the same effect as when you are watching it the first time. The story's unpredictability keeps you in your seat but would have been better if the main act was unpredictable as well. In short, it's a one time watch but the thing is "once you start watching then you should watch till the end in one swoop else the effect will be lost" and you'll have a great time with this.

Cult telugu movie if you are upto it!
raghavsan9 March 2018
This is an Adult comedy with some good actors and involves dialogues that might be objectionable for a few or a few more. Some needless scenes which can be ignored thanks to the script and direction. Entire movie is set up for a climax similar to British movies like Lock, Stock and two smoking barrels, Pulp fiction, Snatch and Hindi movies like Delhi Belly, Ek challis ki last local. Like the Director's work in this movie more telugu movies like this with a little improvisation in some aspects need to reach out to world audience they are humorous some might find it cringe worthy nevertheless Do not miss this movie its an offbeat comedy.
