Gopi, alias Arjun, is the son of an ex-RAW agent Raghuveer. Brought up by his uncle Satya, he wants to be an agent just like his father and uncle. But Satya wants him to lead a normal life and not be killed like his father was. What happens in Gopi’s life that turns everything upside down?
Goodachari is a super solid spy movie made in a very Western style with good production values. Its Indian heart showed in the hero's tearful, sentimental love for his father and country, as well as the many flashbacks along the way. It surprised us several times In very satisfying ways with plot twists.
This is a "Tollywood" movie, meaning that it is from the Telugu-language film industry. It is clear that the director of this movie learned a lot, possibly from the Baahubali movies (the second of which is the second top grossing film of all time in India). The Baahubali movies are the ones that really sent us into the Indian film world in a big way. Those movies featured tight stories, and kept us on the edge of our seats. Goodachara, though completely different, doesn't disappoint on those points.
Here's hoping the sequel gets made soon. I'm ready to see Agent 116 save India again. Jai Hind!
