Gamanam is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language anthology film written and directed by debutant Sujana Rao and produced by Ramesh Karutoori, Venki Pushadapu and Gnana Shekar V.S under the Kria Film Corp and Kali Productions banners.
The film stars Shriya Saran, Siva Kandukuri[ and Priyanka Jawalkar along with Suhas, Nithya Menen, Charuhasan, Bithiri Sathi, and Ravi Prakash. The dialogues were written by Sai Madhav Burra. The film was released on 10 December 2021.
Director Sujana Rao makes her debut with Gamanam, a film that unfolds the lives of normal, everyday people – laying bare their beauty, innocence and strength. And seeing as how the film is an anthology, the newbie has the task of not just giving all her characters satisfying arcs but also delivering satisfying conclusions for each of them.
The flooding might have been the ‘conflict’ of the story, but the way these characters are set up make subtle commentary on privilege, gender, class disparity and most importantly hope. Hope is at the soul of the film, lending warmth to otherwise dreary lives. Kamala (Shriya Saran) is a hearing-impaired tailor who works at a mass-production clothing sweatshop and has a little baby to look after.
She hopes not just to regain her hearing someday but also lies in wait for her husband to return from Dubai, even if he hasn’t been in touch since he left. Ali (Shiva Kandukuri) trains hard in cricket and hopes to make it to Team India someday even if his grandfather (Charu Hassan) believes he should be a medico like his late father.
His girlfriend Zara (Priyanka Jawalkar) lives in a strict household but harbours dreams of a beautiful life with Ali. Two little rag pickers, who live in a dump yard, work at a birthday party one day and hope to make enough money to experience a puttinaroju. The little one of the duo wants a ‘topi shaped’ cake even if he doesn’t know the date of his birth.
