In this GST Kannada Movie Review, Srujan Lokesh debuts as director with an ambitious horror-comedy that replaces chills with chuckles. GST imagines a world where ghosts are not frightening but funny, emotional, talkative, and often more human than the living.
A Story Driven by Chaos and Charm
Lucky (Srujan Lokesh) is a man constantly blamed for every misfortune in his family. Life pushes him to despair until, at a burial ground, he unexpectedly meets a crew of quirky ghosts who are stuck on Earth due to unfulfilled desires.
The ghost squad includes:
- Girija Lokesh as the feisty Shanthamma
- Tabla Nani & Sukruth as the comedic father–son duo
- Vinod Gobbragala as Hanumanthu
- Niveditha Gowda as Tanya
- Aravind Rau as Ramesh
Their strange friendship with Lucky forms the backbone of the film.
Humour, Heart & Performances
The ghosts promise to help Lucky fix his life from winning over Nidhi (Rajani Bharadwaj) to navigating emotional hurdles and even getting entangled in a chaotic bank heist.
The film keeps the humour clean and family-friendly, using the supernatural setup for laughter rather than fear.
Srujan Lokesh carries the film with charm and confidence, both as director and actor. Girija Lokesh and Tabla Nani steal the show with their effortless comedic timing. Editing remains sharp, pacing brisk, and the music uplifts several key sequences.
Verdict
GST is a simple, sweet, and entertaining horror-comedy suited for family viewing. It doesn’t attempt to reinvent the genre, but it delivers on what it promises humour, emotion, and fun performances.
