How he survived in the well and how he comes out of it forms the rest of the story. 

Review 

The movie has some strong characterizations but at times, they looked weak on screens. The film starts well and showcased the relationship between Rajendra Prasad and Sree Vishnu in a relatable way. Comedy n the first half also worked out well. The flashback episodes failed to engage the audience. Unfortunately, just like the slow first half even the second half is also quite slow in terms of the narrative and is a little bit disappointing. 

Though the director has penned an interesting character and some impressive dialogues for Rajendra Prasad, the rest of the characters in the film failed to make an impact. His slow narration, sluggish screenplay and boring proceedings became the major setback of this film. Music is just average. His BGM is good. Writing by Anil Ravipudi is too good. The cinematographer has produced some beautiful visuals for this film. Editing is sharp. 

Words fall short to explain how Rajendra Prasad blended with his character in the movie. His remarkable performance is one of the biggest plus points in this movie. Despite getting a complex handicapped role, Rajendra Prasad pulled it off with ease and energy. Sree Vishnu also went under the skin of the character and performed well. Lovely Singh is pleasant and impressive in her role. Satya's comedy timing is too good and his scenes will bring laughter to the theatres. The rest of the actors like Raghu Babu, Mirchi Kiran, Gagan Vihari also made their presence felt. 

Verdict 

'Gaali Sampath' is a one-man show by Rajendra Prasad blended with good comedy sequences, flat second half and a dramatic climax.
