Gorilla movie Twitter reactions: This Jiiva-starrer gets mixed response from audience

Gorilla movie cast: Jiiva, Shalini Pandey

Gorilla movie director: Don Sandy

More often, it’s not a film—but the experience of watching—that stays in the mind for long. Unfortunately, many times that happens for all wrong reasons. According to commercial cinema, there is only one way to attract a girl—stalk her till she ‘agrees’. Gorilla re-emphasises the age-old idea: ‘pursue’ a girl and you’ll be assured a relationship.

Jhansi (Shalini Pandey of Arjun Reddy fame) “falls in love” with Jeeva (Jiiva), a part-time fake doctor and a full-time pickpocket. (In between, he steals medicines from the pharmacy). Ideally, no girl would prefer hanging out with Jeeva, who is of the opinion “Girls simply cheat”— let alone consider him a boyfriend.

Jhansi is mind-numbingly stupid. Despite knowing Jeeva is a creepy stalker, she chooses him. One day, Jeeva and two other friends, plan to rob a bank, but end up doing something ‘revolutionary’. They threaten the government to do away with farm loan waivers. This bank robbery isn’t a new concept. We have seen Bhagyaraj loot a bank in Rudhra, of course, sans ‘ape masks’ that these guys wear.
