The good response to Godavari has obviously gone down well with Shekar Kammula, its diretor.
The soft-spoken, sensitive man is equally effusive about the praise coming from abroad.
The soft love story has gone down well with the NRI audience.
In the USA alone, the movie was released in six places. A great rise for a man whose Anand released in Andhra with just three prints.
Shekar is happy that the movie has been well promoted.
The movie, meanwhile, is running to packed houses in Andhra Pradesh.
The film's success is good news for all those who love their film to be soft, sentimental and sensitive.
