Movie Root Productions and Orange Productions’ Gaurishankar (Marathi; UA) is the story of one man’s revenge. Lovers Gauri (Kavya Suryavanshi) and Shankar (Harekrishna Gowda) love each other but they are torn apart due to an unforeseen tragedy. A shattered Shankar sets out on a mission of revenge to seek justice.
A routine story has been developed into a predictable and clichéd drama which fails to hold the viewers’ interest. The proceedings never really rise above the ordinary level. Dialogues are routine.
Harekrishna Gowda is okay but lacks the looks of a hero. Kavya Suryavanshi is alright. Dakshina Rathod lends fair support. Rahul Jagtap is average. Others pass muster.
Harekrishna Gowda’s direction complements the routine drama; it is below average. Prashant-Nishant’s music and background score are functional. Sanket Kolambekar’s lyrics are ordinary. Shivas Tribhuvan’s choreography hardly deserves separate mention. Roshan Khadgi’s camerawork is okay. Rashid Mehta’s action and stunt scenes afford some thrill. Amit Chinchgharkar’s art direction is so-so. Amit Javalkar’s editing leaves something to be desired.
On the whole, Gaurishankar is a flop show.
Released on 28-2-’25 at Gem (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay by Cinepolis India thru August Entertainment. Publicity & opening: dull.
