Gautam Ghattamaneni's Blunt Review of 'The Paradise'

Gautam Ghattamaneni, son of actor Mahesh Babu and former actor Namrata Shirodkar, has shared his review of Nani's film 'The Paradise.' He assigned the movie a one-star rating on the movie rating website Letterboxd.

Gautam expressed his dissatisfaction with the film's overall execution, noting that only the cinematography and the performances during emotional scenes resonated with him. He described the editing as "atrocious" and found little else in the film to appreciate, calling it "very disappointing."

This review comes after Gautam's previous critique of Yash's film 'Toxic,' which he rated half a star. His online ratings have previously sparked discussions among fans, leading him to update his Letterboxd bio with a sarcastic acknowledgment of the attention.

Notably, Gautam's ratings do not automatically favor his father's films; he awarded Trivikram Srinivas' 'Guntur Kaaram' 2.5 stars. Some fans have observed that Gautam has rated certain Nani films more highly than Mahesh Babu's movies.

'The Paradise,' directed by Srikanth Odela, began streaming on Netflix on October 22. Despite a strong theatrical opening, the film faced criticism, although it marked a significant box office opening for both Nani and Srikanth Odela before seeing a decline in numbers.

Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is preparing for his upcoming film 'Varanasi,' directed by SS Rajamouli, slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027.
