Why liked Godavari:

1. Forward looking aspect for the Indian community. Specifically the female character trying to establish her ideas and creativity. Sumanth character of trying to help the community by joining politics.
2. Persistence If you believe in something, doing with full passion and commitment. Director tried to tell the message in both the characters
3. Little things matter Director tried to show that little things done with whole heart matter more than doing big things in grandeur with no heart
4. Female characterization The way 2 different characters portrayed on the screen is very good.
5. Sumanth Character It has been well screen played of showing the male character and small instances to bring out his nature.
6. Society More realistic way shown of how society reacts to people who have their ideologies to be proved
7. Simplicity both in the cast and sets
8. Dogs character A message being conveyed through an animal is phenomenal. (not just the laughter)
9. Sentiment Its a class of its own of getting the inner feelings and needs of a female. How they would react, feel, act etc. shown on the big screen. Kudos to Kamalinee & Sekhar

Why Sekhars films are different from rest:

1. Realistic His stories are very realistic and easy to relate to common middle class community issues
2. Message/Theme His story give message to the society. In every scene, there is some take away for the community
3. Screen Play He will keep you engrossed in the movie rather than thinking what will happen next
4. Little things of life He brings very small things of life which we normally oversee in the current world. He brings out lot of his own experiences in his films. E.g. sitting in a Irani caf, showing software company, its got to either going to US or coming back from US, guy holding Kamalinee hand during sales meeting.
5. Dialogues You will not see unnecessary comedy (unrealistic), dialogues would be more to the real world language, people are used to
6. A good movie concept He will continue to make movies where you watch the movie and enjoy it for time it is
7. Macho fighting He does include unrealistic mass fighting (hero hitting some 100 guys etc.,), if there is a scene it will be more realistic
8. Script He puts his heart and sole in making sure not to fail and deliver a good film.

I would also like to pass on some more comments, which can be improved in his future films.

1. Editing needs to be polished I was able to catch several scenes editing was not done clear
2. Too much class There is only certain segment of crowd can understand the deeper insight of what he is trying give the message. He should start reaching out to common man subject
3. Too much similarity in music People watching movies needs something different, try experimenting with other music directors
4. Longevity & Pace of the movies Need to increase the pace of the movie little bit more

Overall, when compared to other movies which came during this time of the year. Sekhar has delivered a class movie
