Gooli
is
the
latest
action
thriller
from
director
Satya
who
has
several
underworld-based
films
to
his
credit.
Darshan
found
success
through
films
directed
by
Satya,
and
that
is
the
satya
(truth).
In
Gooli,
Satya
teams
up
with
Sudeep
to
make
a
gangster-based
film.
Produced
by
Ramu,
it
succeeds
in
conveying
the
message
to
stay
away
from
the
criminal
world.
Gooli
is
an
underworld
Don,
a
Robin
Hood-type
who
does
many
criminal
activities
for
contract
and
uses
the
earning
to
help
the
poor.
Unhappy
with
his
selfless
nature
and
resultant
popularity,,
his
adversaries
try
to
eliminate
him
several
times;
predictably,
the
fail
miserably
each
time,
Gooli
rises
unscathed
and
displays
his
benevolent
face
repeatedly.
Remya,
a
rich
college
girl
is
inspired
by
his
selfless
and
helpful
nature.
After
several
interactions,
she
falls
in
love
with
him
and
decides
to
marry
him.
But
Gooli,
who
lives
on
the
threshold
of
danger,
tries
to
warn
her
of
the
risks
involved.
Sensing
that
Remya
is
a
vulnerable
target
through
whom
Gooli
can
be
attacked,
the
villains
kidnap
her;
predictably,
Gooli
saves
her,
expresses
his
love
for
her
and
they
decide
to
marry;
after
an
unexpected
turn
of
events,
all
ends
well.
The
climax
sequence
is
what
saves
the
film
from
collapsing.
Gooli
will
be
remembered
for
Sudeep's
honest
and
committed
performance
as
Gooli.
Had
Satya
had
taken
a
little
more
care
in
polishing
the
script,
he
could
have
made
an
unforgettable
film
like
Om
or
Jogi.
Continuity
lapses
are
visible;
Mamta
Mohandas
gets
injured
on
the
forehead
but
in
the
next
scene,
she
appears
with
stitches
on
her
cheek.
The
movie
drags
along
the
second
half,
creating
boredom.
But
the
last
fifteen
minutes
of
the
film
make
up
for
this
drag.
Almost
all
the
characters
deliver
punch
dialogues.
Apart
from
Sudeep
who
has
done
an
excellent
job,
the
remaining
cast
has
given
an
ordinary
performance.
Mamta
Mohandas
excels
in
song
sequences
which
give
you
a
feeling
of
freshness
but
could
have
performed
better
in
emotional
scenes.
On
the
technical
side,
Palani
Raju's
first
two
fights
are
well
choreographed;
camera
work
by
P.L.
Ravi
goes
well
with
the
script
but
is
not
stunning.
Debut
music
director
Anoop
has
composed
two
good
songs
for
the
movie
but
no
peppy
numbers.
Gooli
is
a
movie
which
would
have
touched
heights
of
excellence
with
minor
improvements
in
all
sections
but
is
now
just
entertaining.
