Radha Mohan is back in the fray with Gouravam after the successful Payanam in 2011. Prior to the release, there was a buzz around the film as it was seemingly about honor killings, a controversial subject particularly considering the recent Dharmapuri incident which happened in November 2012.

 Allu Sirish makes his debut with Gouravam, which also releases in Telugu along with its Tamil version. Yami Gautam who wowed audiences with her presence in Vicky Donor is another debutante who enters the South with this Prakash Raj production.

The script of the movie has some purpose as Arjun (Allu Sirish) decides to uncover the mystery around the disappearance of his college friend Shanmugam, after he happens to pass by Shanmugam’s native village T.Vennur. This is one village where the caste system still reigns and a section of people are kept aside as ‘untouchables’ by those with a superior sense of prestige and self-worth.

What begins as an inquisitive search carried out by Arjun and his friend Venky soon booms into something huge involving like-minded students and the media. We also have Yazhini, a qualified lawyer, who joins this youth crusade which ruffles quite a few feathers in the village.
