A horror comedy is not a rare genre nowadays, especially after the runaway success of 'Prema Katha Chitram'. The audience surely want something more from every film, and this one provides what some of the previous one didn't provide. A well-made film that is a surprise package. The likes of Shakalaka Shankar and Dhanraj are to be watched out for.
Ragu Gari Gadhi surprises you with some decent entertainment. A hilarious first half, superb performances by Shakalaka Shankar and Dhanraj are major assets. If you manage to sit through the bogged down and mediocre second half, you can easily give this film a shot this weekend.
Raju Gari Gadi is a film that has been presented far more drollery than what it is worth. The film manages to give you some entertainment, but that is not all that you want from a horror comedy for sure. All in all, Raju Gari Gadi tries to package too many things, but ends up being an effete motley of half-baked stuff.
Raju Gari Gadhi is a neat horror movie with good humor. Watch out for the comedy Shakalaka Shankar and Dhanraj.
