Ghaati movie fails to impress fans

After watching the early screening of Ghaati, many netizens shared their reviews on X (formerly Twitter). One user wrote, “#Ghaati Below average! 1st half is predictable & boring with no impactful scenes for #AnushkaShetty  2nd half is better, especially rebelling scenes & she is ferocious🔥 Writing is bad but few dialogues are brilliant👍🏻 There is so much potential to make it better🤦🏻‍♂️ Wait for OTT!”

Another wrote, “Done with my show, 2nd half runs mostly on action episodes which felt boring. Music is good in some parts. Anushka performance is good..!! Should have explored cannabis portion more in 2nd act rather than recenge..overall a mediocre tale 2/5 #Ghaati”

Another shared his disappointment, writing, “"#Ghatti - Opinion. KrishJagarlamudi. Yes, the idea is fresh… but execution is a total letdown! AnushkaShetty shines in parts, but one performance alone can’t save a weak film. We all respect Krish for classics like Gamyam & Vedam, but with Ghatti"
