Gandhada Gudi Twitter review: Meaning of a true hero is redefined in Puneeth Rajkumar’s must-watch docu-drama

Gandhada Gudi, the late Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar’s passion project is in theatres today. The docu-drama, directed by award-wining filmmaker Amoghavarsha and produced by Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar, opened last night with over 50 sold out paid premieres. The lucky ones, including several celebrities, who caught the film last night, as well as those early birds at the EMS on Day 1 have been flooding social media with their thoughts on the film.

Here are some:

“#GandhadaGudi - A heartwarming experience. Puneeth sir enjoying himself and sharing his joy and fear is priceless. Watching our own land in an entirely new way, shot and presented to us in a worldclass manner is an absolute delight. Thank you to the entire team,” wrote actor Rishi.

Vikrant Rona maker Anup Bhandari added, “For those who’ve known him personally, it’s like resuming our last conversation. For those who’ve admired the superstar, it’s a peek into who he really was. An experience beyond reviews & ratings. #Appusir lives on!Kudos #Amoghavarsha & team. @Ashwini_PRK @AJANEESHB #GandhadaGudi.”

Puneeth's Abhi, Arasu and Aakash co-star Ramya, who was very emotional after last night's screening, wrote, "In Gandhadagudi,Appu with his good sense of humour gives life’s valuable teachings- empathy & the most important journey, the inward one. Gandhadagudi is thought provoking & beautiful. Appu is a true hero- ‘universal human’, there needs to be more of his kind @Ashwini_PRK 🙏🫡"

Indian hockey player Sreejesh PR tweeted, “The last film our beloved Puneeth Rajkumar acted in is a celebration of Karnataka, it’s wildlife and heritage. ❤️ #GandhadaGudi.”
