Performances:
Vikram Prabhu has given a convincing performance especially his understanding with the elephant is incredible. Being son of Prabhu Ganesan and grandson of Sivaji Ganesan there were good expectations on Vikram Prabhu. And the actor has excelled with his performance in the debutant venture itself.
Lakshmi Menon has proved her mettle and delivered a good performance.Thambi Ramaiah has surpassed with his timing and he is a treat to watch. Beyond these, the other cast had no good or convincing roles.
Technical Aspects :
Gajaraju has got one of the finest camera works from Sukumar. The forest locales were scenic and beautifully captured. Songs composed by D. Imman are good and they look more beautiful on screen with Sukumar’s photography. Screenplay is predictable at times and pace is slow. Editing is fine. Seshank Vennelakanti’s dialogues are okay.
Plus Points:
Eventhough, Vikram prabhu is a new comer, He given good performance. Lakshmi menon given her best Natural performance.
The plot of the movie is fresh and attracts everyone.
Comedy of Thambi Ramaiah is major plus for the film. Aravind Vidyanathan is just okay.
The film has Beautiful visuals. The songs ‘Ayyayyo Anandame’ and ‘Kanne Sogasulu’ have been shot richly.
Minus Points:
The film dissatisfies the people, who goes to the movie for Tamil film's nativity.
For Telugu audience, Costumes of climax extremely dissatisfies.
Except the first 45 Minutes, The film is completely predictable.
Romance between Vikram Prabhu Lakshmi menon is not attracts us.
Quality of Visual effects too bad. Some characters has no justification in this film, For example, Forest Range officer.
Final Analysis:
Brilliant cinematography by Sukumar is one of the major assets of Gajaraju that keeps you hooked to the screens. The plot line is quite good but its wafer thin line which is revealed in the first hour itself, it moves on predictable mode and the pace of the story is slow. While the tragedy climax might not appeal to all, the fight shot looked unrealistic due to its poor quality CGI effects. Gajaraju has lot of Tamil nativity which might not liked by most of the Telugu audiences.
Final Word:
Gajaraju is an Innovative story with brilliant camera work; but go for it, if you don’t mind excessive Tamil nativity.Watch it only for Cinematography
