Ghaati Movie Review : 

             Ghaati is a regular revenge action drama filled with intense action sequences and powerful dialogues. Anushka is terrific as Sheelavathi, delivering a strong performance that lifts the film. Supporting cast is impressive.

             The cinematography is top notch, beautifully capturing the rugged Eastern Ghats backdrop. However the editing could have been better. The background score feels too loud in parts, while the songs are largely forgettable. 

             However weak storytelling, lack of emotional connectivity and sluggish first half are the let downs of Ghaati.

Positives :

☑️ Anushka's fierce performance in powerful role

☑️ Decent performances from supporting cast

☑️ Cinematography that enhances movie's tone

☑️ Gritty actions sequences and impactful dialogues 

Negatives : 

❌ Weak and predictable storyline 

❌ Slow paced first half

❌ Lacks emotional depth

❌ Loud background score

Final Verdict : 

         If you're there for Anushka or intlo female centric action dramas, Ghaati is a worth a watch. But if you are expecting a deep, well-written thriller with layered storytelling, Ghaati may disappoint you.

     

Ghaati Viewer's Rating : 2.5/5
