Godari Gattupaina Teaser: Rooted, Rural, and Riotously Funny

New Delhi, january 03, 2026: The buzz around Sumanth Prabhas’ second outing is reaching a fever pitch. After winning hearts with his high-octane debut in Mem Famous, the young actor is back with a refreshing change of pace. The teaser for his upcoming film, Godari Gattupaina, was unveiled on January 2, 2026, and it immediately stands out for its “Godavari-rooted” charm and effortless humor.

A Visual Treat from the Godavari Heartland

Directed by debutant Subash Chandra, Godari Gattupaina (meaning “On the Banks of Godavari”) transports the audience straight into the lush, serene landscapes of Bhimavaram and West Godavari. The teaser opens with the picturesque vibes of village life—vibrant, warm, and deeply relatable.

Unlike the urban chaos seen in many modern rom-coms, this teaser leans into the tranquility of the riverbanks. The cinematography by Sai Santhosh captures the golden hues of the region, making the setting a character in its own right.

The “Oscarrrrr Gang” and Natural Comedy

The soul of the teaser lies in its ensemble. Sumanth Prabhas plays Raju, a carefree youth whose life revolves around his eccentric group of friends, hilariously dubbed the “Oscarrrrr Gang.” The humor is organic and steeped in local flavor. One particular dialogue that has already become a social media favorite involves comedian Sudarshan, who quips about a “combination that Mani Ratnam and Gautham Vasudev Menon never touched.” This blend of meta-humor and rural wit suggests that the film will be a laugh-riot without losing its grounded essence.

Romance with a Soulful Touch

The teaser introduces newcomer Nidhi Pradeep as Maya, the female lead. The chemistry between Sumanth and Nidhi appears breezy and sweet. While the film promises plenty of fun, earlier glimpses (the “First Breeze”) hinted at a deeper narrative layer, touching upon how love can transcend man-made divisions like caste and religion.

The background score by Naga Vamshi Krishna adds a melodic layer to the visuals, utilizing instruments like the flute and Nadaswaram to enhance the “Godavari feel.”

Final Verdict

Godari Gattupaina looks like the perfect “feel-good” rural entertainer. It successfully balances the youthful energy of Sumanth Prabhas with the seasoned presence of veterans like Jagapathi Babu. If the teaser is anything to go by, audiences can expect a heartwarming story that celebrates friendship, love, and the timeless beauty of the Telugu heartland.
