Goodachari (2018) User Reviews

One of the good films this year. Can we have a sequel ?

[bluespyder7 · 9/10 · 8 August 2018]

Firstly, this is not one of the regular stereotypical stupid movies telugu industry churns out with their family members just because they own the production houses and take the movie goers for fools.

Its good to see someone who had genuinely tried to do something different. Don't let the low budget fool you, its been used well.

Agree, its a mix of Kingsman, Mission impossible series with a mix of James bond and Jason Bourne series but the story is still strong and stands apart. Thankfully the movie cuts back on irrelevant nonsensical songs and fights. Movie is fast paced and sometimes predictable on few occasions but not all the time.

Sadly, in a year there are only a handful of movies (YES its less than 10) that are good in Telugu as most are hyped and lack substance and include some irritable songs.

I am rating it a 9 as this movie is good given the budget, cast and the limited release. Of course this movie also has its own loopholes (dont want to include spoilers) but they can be overlooked due to the strong story line and screenplay while intertwining it with a love story. This movie is a game changer and a trend setter. Kudos to the team. Can we expect a sequel ?

Best South Indian Spy movie

[navendu_krishnan · 9/10 · 2 October 2018]

Wow ! A telugu movie with class and elegent story. I have never seen this much well taken spy thriller movie in South Indian film terrain. Adivi Shesh is an excellent story writer. Even though this movie shot in 160 locations iver 3 countries, Shashi directed this is a perfect way. Each and every casting is so accurate and peefect. Classy stunt choreography. 8/10

Goodachari is a spy thriller with the right mix of suspense and action.

[prudhvi-gottipati · 7/10 · 3 August 2018]

Goodachari is a fast-paced spy thriller that's also quite emotional.

Positives Gripping first half Action episodes Engaging narration and Twists Climax

New Age Telugu Cinema

[kolasaikiranece · 10/10 · 9 September 2018]

To take Telugu cinema to next level, You don't need a couple of hundred crore movies. But You need a good story and a thrilling screenplay. Gudhachari is such a movie one can take notes on.

Cut your nails before watching this movie.

[vivek_raj · 10/10 · 3 August 2018]

Yes you read it correct else you end up biting them in theatre. I have not seen such a good action thriller in recent times. This movie has surpassed my expectations. A class acting. A class story A class casting A class everything.

Is Bangladesh a terrorist State?

[naveen0411 · 10/10 · 10 September 2018]

No, One in the movie said about Bangladesh as a terrorist State. Terrorist are every everywhere, anywhere with regard for humanity, No need to be feel offensive, It's a good movie, Just enjoy.

It is good to see someone who had genuinely tried to do something different in tollywood. There r similar v.good movies in black and white (Agent 116) days, Nice to see in modern day version of it.

116 REPORTING FOR DUTY

[edwardjohn-42017 · 10/10 · 11 August 2018]

I watched this movie on the first day just cuz it said 'GOODACHARI' (SPY). I've always loved spy films especially the ones that are not so 'famous' and Spanish mystery thrillers cuz they rarely fail to impress me. This movie tops the list of such lesser known gems. I've watched big budget productions that failed to impress. This movie stands tall in all aspects, and after seeing Sesh in person at the success meet yesterday I'm positive there's no better person to be cast in the role of 116 . Hope this character lives on to become a Brand. The Director and the entire team deserve a special mention for staying true to their heart. Cheers EJ

Got few ideas of Hollywood and nice executed but weak base of the story

[rohitreviews · 6/10 · 9 February 2019]

The Rana who hunts the protagonist, Gopi could have done what his intention was in first 10 minutes of the movie itself by not letting Gopi join his dream job and whole story ends there. It kind of doesn't make sense at the end. Could have been better core of the movie.

Finest Spy Thriller

[adityadarshansr · 9/10 · 9 September 2018]

One of the best spy movie in recent times. The story plot is excellent, screenplay is at its best and background score is excellent. Twists, background score and screenplay are the main assets of the movie with excellent performance by hero Adivi Sesh.

Plot is not just the important thing

[siddarthmandela · 16 September 2018]

They boast to have madea great movie, but Indian movie makers constantly shame our Army. The black cat commando's for that guy Shastry look like losers. They couldn't put on their berets properly. Dude, meeru eppudu Hollywood level ki velthararu ra. Vedhavallara. Don't insult Indian Army and the elite forces. Laser Guns for the cops. Shame....

Goodachaari is nothing but a cinemaholic attempt to remake all his favorite scenes from famous spy films.

[shobanchittuprolu · 6/10 · 9 August 2018]

Goodachaari (2018):

Adivi Sesh's intention of changing Tollywood with rarely attempted genres is commendable attempt. His previous outing Kshanam was a mystery thriller and now his new film Goodachaari is a spy thriller. Even with not so eye grabbing promos, Goodachari has good buzz only because of Kshanam. Audience waited for another unique experience and Did Sesh achieved it?

Plot:

Arjun (Adivi Sesh) gets recruited into a spy organization after repeated applying for the job. He is inducted into Trinetra, a secret service bureau that recruits him for a mission. He soon becomes an agent.On the very first day as an agent, a minister gets killed, his girlfriend (Sobhita) is killed and all fingers point out that he's behind this. He is on the run to find out who the mole in Trinetra is and who actually killed his father in his childhood. As he goes on the mission, many secrets come out.

My Review:

Adivi Sesh's intention is good of bringing change in Tollywood is good but it would be lot better if he chose new subjects other than inspired works like these. While Kshanam is taken from Flight Plan, Goodachaari is taken from almost all the famous spy films like MI, Kingsman etc..

There is nothing wrong with taking points from other works until or unless you focus on content. Kshanam is amazing with good thrill and emotions in right places but Goodachaari is too fake and tried hardly to look as an effective Mission Impossible of India. Goodachaari is too dragging, bland and sometimes confused.

Sesh's character desires to join in Spy Group but once he gets place in it he starts behaving like regular college kid with silly antics and behavior. There is not a single scene in the film where we feel the suspense. It is too bland and boring. A couple of things we expect to find in spy-thrillers are suspense and characters with intelligent minds. When coveted plans are revealed that should make us go 'Oh boy! I didn't see that coming.' But in Goodachari characters that seem to lack common sense and logical thinking.

Shockingly production values didn't impress. ENtire pre climax and climax were shot in some bad locations outskirts of city but shown as Bangladesh. Cinematography, Music are poor compared to Kshanam.

SO,Goodachaari is nothing but a cinemaholic attempt to remake all his favorite scenes from famous spy films.

My Rating 5.75/10

Best movie in low budget

[chaiturobbi · 10/10 · 10 September 2018]

Very good movie in low budget. This kind of movies required for our TFI. Good story line,good screenplay,good background score,etc.congrats to the whole team for grand success.

Good

[venkatnaidu-88400 · 6/10 · 11 August 2018]

Start bad but midel and ending supper But movie is very good

Lot of Style, Little Substance and Lot of Plotholes.

[akhil027 · 4/10 · 20 July 2020]

I feel bad for Sashi Kiran Tikka(Director). He made a pretty decent looking spy thriller. But the writer's love fro the protagonist ruins Goodachari. Now let's get into logic less instances in the script. Arjun/Gopi applies 174 times to all the agencies for a chance. When he uses his real father's name in the 175th attempt, he gets selected. Wait, what?

Arjun's greatest dream is to serve the country. And he starts acting all childish after getting selected into Trinethra. He gets framed for murder. The killer leaves his bike(registered in Arjun's name) and a gun with Arjun's fingerprints. Arjun is a super-spy, remember? What kind of intelligent spy would do something that stupid? Sameera played by Sobhita Dhulipala is the usual hero's love interest. Leena who is another spy who got the same training as Arjun can't even defeat one guy while Arjun is fighting off a group of terrorists. And Arjun has to come back from beating all those terrorists to save Leena. Rakesh Varre is the cliche Muslim patriot who sacrifices his life for the country. Arjun has to confront Vennala Kishore's character who's traitor. This scene was only there so that the viewers gets an explanation about the leaks from the agency.

Anyway, despite all these flaws, Goodachari is 1000 times better than Saaho.

Genuine attempt

[bahana89 · 10/10 · 4 August 2018]

Great effort by whole team to begin the new era of spy movies in TFI. once again the script proved it's capability as a decider.

Awesome

[srikanthveturi · 10/10 · 7 August 2018]

Far better than Bond Movie. It would have been Hollywood movie, then one can not imagine the movie's success.

Super movie

[amruthavilas · 10/10 · 10 September 2018]

Super movie must watch for every movie buff and tfi fan!

One Telugu movie which shouldn't be abandoned.

[harshakadiveti · 10/10 · 3 October 2018]

Movies like this arrive once in a blue moon in Telugu Cinema. The story and narrative were absolutely enthralling. Despite some loopholes in the plot, the movie manages to grab undivided attention. If you like typical telugu films with extravagant fights, unnecessary item numbers and over-glorified lead actors, this movie is bound to disappoint you.

Bond 116

[aseem-shopping · 7/10 · 10 September 2018]

The screenplay of the movie has done well. The story is another asset for this movie. All the characters has played their roles very well. No unwanted scenes. Good movie to watch

Impressive...

[sharma-csc · 9/10 · 22 September 2018]

Starts with Kingsmen, turn towards Shooter, another turn towards Bourne Identity, added Bond flavor with a mix of Ethan hunt and you got a great attempt of glamorous spy movie from South. Great twists and turns, background music, action sequence, it's a great summer popcorn action thriller.

The father of all Indian Spy/Agent Dramas. Beats out popular mainstream films like Thupakki, Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and War BY MARGIN.

[SAMTHEBESTEST · 7/10 · 30 June 2021]

Goodachari (2018) : Brief Review -

The father of all Indian Spy/Agent Dramas. Beats out popular mainstream films like Thupakki, Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and War BY MARGIN. Adivi Sesh is some genius to look out for excellent writing. I wonder, how this guy hasn't got pan India recognition after doing so great in thriller genre. 'Kshanam', 'Evaru' and now this 'Goodachari' is my 3rd watch and all three are excellent thrillers with some unpredictable twists. Goodachari is more in mainstream category because all these spy drama need some mass oriented action to survive. Similarly like Kshanam, Goodachari also drives you mad with consistent twists coming one after another and all of them are in entertaining mode. I mean it's not a pure thriller with full of suspense and dark theme, it's very much like a massy flick with some advanced level designing. A young NSA agent is framed for the murder of his bosses making him realize that now his mission is darker than expected and has some personal scores to settle regarding his father's death, a former NSA agent. The film keeps you hooked for the whole time and even delivers some gasping moments with breathtaking sequences. If you have seen other popular spy/agent dramas like Thupakki, Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and War then believe me this film is far better than all those. Goodachari is something what our filmmakers only dream of making but never dares to play with such mess due to fear of commercial failure and then makes an average film only for commercial purposes. Writing level of Goodachari matches even Hollywood greats like James Bond and Mission Impossible series but execution wise it is not that stylish and smart. But for Indian standards, it's far more superior than what our masses have seen and loved so far. I just wish if evey Indian Spy/Agent Drama should be like this and then even Classes would freak out for such films. Overall, a Fantastic Film for Masses and Classes both.

RATING - 7.5/10*

Portrayal of character is good

[Kowshik_m · 9/10 · 11 November 2018]

I think it could have been better than this. I would like to appreciate the makers for trying a different movie from routine. I think songs doesn't seem to fit here. Good show in overall.

a great spy thriller

[vineetpal · 6/10 · 19 September 2018]

Must watch for those who are a fan of spy thriller movies.personally speaking i didn't even know the language of this movie but i watched it with English subtitle and it works fine.

Highly over-rated!

[sairam-chekkilla · 5/10 · 22 September 2018]

Not worth wasting time watching this movie. It seems like you are watching a stage drama. The lead actor, although a writer to this movie, is just not good at acting. He should resort to writing stories.

Ever thrilling detective movie by Adivi!!

[css-83821 · 9/10 · 30 October 2019]

I sat to watch this movie with expectations of regular telugu film industry movie ..those overdrive action scenes, over bossy dailogues, poor jokes of south indian cinema( i m from karnataka) but i was wrong in all my guess. This Film grips you very slowly. As u understand the characters the plot takes you with its twists ,turns and exceptionally good fighting scenes to a mystery filled adventure. It was always my question that why recent south indian action scenes are so exaggerated now i have no complaints. This film shows the capability. For a similar pyschological thriller watch " kavaludari(kannada)" i promise it shall also take you to a thrilling detective journey( less of action).
