Ganga Telugu Movie
When the majority of moviemakers are egged by the idea of making money, we are lucky to have producers and directors who are willing to make movies on social issues without bothering about the financial outcome.
Ganga may not have huge star cast, big banners and great hype but it does have a lot of values: a rare commodity these days. Ganga may not run for hundred days even in one center but it’s good movie, unquestionably.
Cinema is powerful medium that can bring about change in society. Cinema doesn’t only entertain; it also moulds the psyche of people for better or worse depending on the story, characterization, and makers of the movie. Viewed from this angle, Ganga is a fabulous movie that makes people aware of the prevailing evils in the society and methods of curbing those.
The movie is about eradicating the evils of Jogini system. Jogini system is an archaic and cruel system that is still prevalent in some parts of rural Andhra and enforced by a handful of powerful village big guns that forces a few girls ostensibly to be married to the God, but in reality to be used for the gratification of lust of the same powerful and lecherous people. Poverty, helplessness and the wrong perception about a girl child being a burden forces many parents to succumb to such pressure from the village high and mighty.
Ganga is a movie about one such would-be-jogini who is married to the Gods. And the a handful of wanton and powerful villagers are waiting for the girl to attain puberty. But the jogini wants to lead a married life. How she achieves her dream and who makes the dream come true forms the crux of the story.
The cast and crew should be lauded for being part of such a cause. Definitely Ganga will shake up the people of rural Andhra to drive out the atrocious system.
