Ghani Movie Review: Doesn’t Serve Anything New In The Sports Genre

The Telugu sports drama Ghani, starring Varun Tej and Suniel Shetty, was released with considerable excitement, and the audience’s reaction to the film is now out. Several Twitter users expressed their opinions about the film, labeling it a “mass” sports drama, while others described it as a “standard” take on boxing. Many internet users, however, have applauded Varun Tej and Suniel Shetty’s performances, describing them as a “firey combination.”

Ghani is the son of a boxer whose career was destroyed in his final days of boxing. While boxing, his father was found cheating by utilizing drugs and other steroids. Ghani’s father, however, dies as a result of the sporting world’s politics. Ghani, on the other hand, remains unmoved in the pursuit of his dream. He takes his coaching assistance from a former champion boxer Vijayendra Sinha and dedicates himself to becoming a fighter.

The fundamental theme of the film revolves around Ghani clearing his father’s name and achieving his dream of winning the boxing tournament. And the subplot comes around Ghani’s mother stopping him from taking up boxing. The overall narrative is about how Ghani shifts his attention to boxing, how he hides it from his mother, and how she reacts.

Ghani Movie Review

Kiran Korrapati makes his directorial debut with Ghani. For his first try, he chose a simple but difficult genre to crack. The sports genre appears to be the most straightforward genre, but it is quite difficult to showcase successfully. The biggest challenge is that it has to stick to certain beats. A sports genre film many times unknowingly participates in a variety of cliches. That’s why the difficulty is in presenting them in a new state. In this sense, director Kiran Korrapati fails miserably. Within the first fifteen minutes, everything in Ghana’s narrative is laid exposed. We know where it’s going and can predict how it’ll get there.

And the challenge was to come up with something new in terms of ‘how’ it got to the conclusion. Unfortunately, we don’t see anything, and the drama’s lack of appeal further adds to the impact. The entire first part of the love song also shows a lot of cliches. With dull writing to promote, there isn’t an iota of creativity everywhere. It all feels like a diversity that will eventually lead to the inevitable. The fight between a mother and her son over boxing doesn’t add anything fresh to the story. We can predict in advance how things will go once the challenge is set, and voilà, we get exactly that without having to adjust or brighten it up in any way.
