Mahesh Babu's son Gautam Ghattamaneni gives one star to Nani's The Paradise in his review, calls it a very disappointing film with ‘atrocious editing’

Gautam Ghattamaneni, son of actor Mahesh Babu, has shared a sharply critical review of Nani’s The Paradise. Writing on Letterboxd, he awarded the film one star and described it as a very disappointing experience.

What Gautam praised

Despite his low rating, Gautam identified two elements he appreciated: the cinematography and the acting in the film’s emotional scenes. His comments suggest that the movie’s visual presentation and selected performances stood out to him.

Editing draws the strongest criticism

Gautam’s broader assessment was firmly negative. He wrote, “I liked the cinematography and the acting in emotional scenes. I liked nothing else. Very disappointing. Also the editing was just atrocious.”

The review places editing at the center of his dissatisfaction, while offering only limited praise for other aspects of the production. His comments represent an individual response to the film rather than a wider critical assessment, but the one-star rating and direct language make the review notably severe.

A concise audience reaction

Gautam’s Letterboxd entry gives The Paradise a mixed outline: strong impressions of its cinematography and emotional acting, offset by deep reservations about the rest of the film, especially its editing. No further details about his review were provided.
