Varun Steals the Thunder
Though Harish Shankar has retained the basic structure and story, he has also turned this into a mass movie. Moreover, it is too lengthy. Nevertheless, the film makes an entertaining watch for many reasons � the songs, the dialogues, and above all Varun's performance. It is an okay watch. (more)

The film is Varun Tej's show all the way
almiki 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.(more)

Gaddalakonda Ganesh Review
'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. Characters speak of the greatness of cinema without depth.(more)

Passable Gangster
Gaddalakonda Ganesh is a passable mass drama which has a few good moments. Varun Tej leads from the front with his solid performance and rocking makeover. The fun generated works in places and keeps the audience engaged. But a lengthy run time, lack of strong emotions and dragged climax take down the film and make it an okay watch this weekend. Just go in with your expectations in check.(more)
