Ganga, a block buster in both Telugu & Tamil, has been a high profit venture for the producer Bellamkonda Suresh. It's a genre that is selling the most these days and it’s a series that has already worked well with the Telugu audiences. With Muni, he set the trend for horror comedies and now the genre is a sure-shot money churner both in Tamil and Telugu. So, after the successful Muni and Kanchana, Raghava Lawrence comes back with yet another sequel to his Muni series, this time titled Ganga. He sets up a brilliant first half and evokes superb comedy from his actors.
It is definitely a film that the mass audiences will thoroughly enjoy. His latest sequel to Muni, Ganga is no exception and once again Lawrence mixes high doses of let’s say extremely loud and crass comedy with a horror story. Muni, Kanchana and now Ganga – goes without saying Raghava Lawrence has surely struck the right chord with the audiences both in his native Tamil and in Telugu.
On the whole, Ganga is a horror comedy which has some interesting moments. Taapsee’s superb performance and a hilarious first half are huge assets for the movie. First half of the film has hilarious comedy which compliments the well executed horror elements. Once again, Kovai Sarala impresses in her role and gives funny expressions during the horror scenes.
Lawrence scores brownie points for both his direction and acting skills. He is pretty decent in his role and showcases decent comedy timing. Taapsee sheds her bubbly girl image and delivers a knock out punch with Ganga. Nithya Menen is pretty good in the role of an handicapped girl and brings a lot of relief whenever she is on screen.

One day the TRPs of the channel take a dip and it falls to second slot. A little digging reveals that the rival channel’s popularity is due to God-based shows. So, the channel’s director Nandini (Tapsee) proposes that they must make a show on ghosts instead. And a reluctant Raghava tags along with Nandini and team to a secluded house in Bheemli to shoot the ‘ghosts’. There, Nandini unknowingly pulls out a mangalasutra from the beach and since then strange things start happening to the crew.
The rest of the film shows the relevance of the found mangalasutra and if Raghava and Nandini will return safely.
