Gajaraju
is
a
romance
drama
and
debutant
Vikram
Prabhu's
superb
performance
is
the
main
highlight
of
the
film.
Prabu
Solomon's
story,
screenplay
and
dialogues,
D
Imman's
music,
Sukumar's
camera
work
are
the
other
attractions
of
the
film.
One
big
weakness
of
the
movie
is
its
slow-paced
narration.
The movie deals with an emotional bonding between a mahout and his elephant. With this as a theme, Prabhu Solomon has delivered a beautiful love story in the wild forest. Although his narration drags in a few place in the film, the director manages to hold the attention of the viewers and keep them engaged. The story is simple, but the director has made it an interesting affair with twists or turns.
The
story
is
set
in
village
called
Devagiri
in
the
Talakona
forest
near
Chittoor
and
the
small
village
is
often
attacked
by
a
rogue
elephant.
Village
head
Veeranna
(Anantha
Vaidyanathan)
decides
to
bring
in
a
Kumki
elephant
(a
trained
Indian
elephant
to
counter
and
tame
the
rogue
tusker).

Gajaraju – Movie Review
Boppanna (Vikram Prabhu) is a mahout and he comes to know about this requirement. Although his elephant Manikyam is not a Kumki elephant, he decides to take him to Devagiri to make some quick buck. He falls in love with the village head's daughter Singi (Lakshmi Menon).
Gajaraju – Movie Review
The village is very conservative, which does not encourage love marriages. Will Boppanna be able to win his lady love? Will his elephant tame the rogue elephant? The rest of the movie will answer for these questions.

Vikram Prabhu has delivered a very good performance in his debut movie Gajaraju. His dedication and hard work are clearly visible on-screen. But he still need improvement in acting and he should work on his acting skills.

Lakshmi Menon once again proves that she is ready to go a long way, as the actress has given her best. The actress shines all through and her combination with Vikram is really good.

Imman's music has already topped the chart. There are wonderful melodious tracks and a foot-tapping number is a bonus. Hearing the songs with visuals is a treat to watch.

Sukumar's cinematography is excellent. Beautiful locations and amazing camera work are also the highlights of the movie.
Gajaraju – Movie Review
Prabhu Solomon has taken the best out of his team. Be it from his actors or his technicians, the director's vision for the nativity is seen in the film. However, the script loses grip in a few places and he could have handled the script part in a better way.
