Valmiki’ aka ‘Gaddhalakonda Ganesh’ runs on Varun's act. It is his show all the way. The film offers some fun moments as well. On the downside, it has lengthy runtime and not-so-convincing climax portions. Overall, it is an entertaining watch..

Gaddalakonda Ganesh' is a mixed bag. It's lengthy at 173 minutes. The second half tells the actual story. The first half establishes the premise and keeps dragging on and on. The comedy works in fits and starts. The romantic tracks are sub-par. Char.

Gaddhalakonda Ganesh` is an Entertaining Gangster Saga with ample Mass Elements. The 1st half of the film is Pretty Decent and the 2nd is ordinary but ends with a Good Climax. The Comedy and Action Parts have mostly worked but the Romance and Emotional Ep.

Varun's fantastic portrayal of Ganesh's character, two mass songs post intermission and the commercially packed second half makes this a winner. Verdict: Gun-esh Fires!.

All in all, Valmiki is a mixed bag with overloaded stuff that went imbalanced without core conflict point. Yes, there was a formulaic story at disposal. Harish missed the focus diluting many episodes which went out of line. Show stealer on the screen is V.

However, due to forced commercial compromises, unwanted songs and fights, dragging screenplay and some mediocre performances by Mirnalini and Atharva make Gaddhalakonda Ganesh a tiresome watch. Despite great work by Mickey J Meyer and Varun Tej giving an .
