You do need to check that! The movie is simply amazing. It has the power to hold the audience to their seats. I watched the movie at Wave Cinema, Raja Garden yesterday only. And it's one hell of a movie! It will seem to you a little bit like 'Kalam' anf if you liked 'Kalam'....there's no way that you won't like 'Gattu'!!!!
