== Plot ==<br />
Rama (Rajavardan), a young man from a small village in Karnataka dreams of becoming a national-level wrestling champion. His immense physical strength earns him the nickname "Gajarama," symbolizing his power and determination. Rama trains under Rudrappa (Sharath Lohitashwa), a former wrestling champion who sees his own unfulfilled dreams reflected in Rama and mentors him with unwavering support. <br />
<br />
Rama’s childhood crush, Anjali (Thapaswini Poonacha), returns to the village from Bengaluru. Rama hopes to confess his love, but his world shatters when Anjali hands him her wedding invitation, she is engaged to ACP Pratap (Deepak). Heartbroken, Rama channels his pain into his wrestling ambitions, focusing on winning a national championship. His journey leads him to Bengaluru, where fate brings him face-to-face with Anjali again, intertwining his personal struggles with his professional aspirations. <br />

== Release ==<br />
''Gajarama'' was released theatrically on 7 February 2025.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
Sridevi S. of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Director Sunil Kumar has helmed a commercial caper and has played safe with familiar tropes. Ragini Dwivedi is a visual treat as Sarayi Shantamma in the dance number. ''Gajarama'' offers nothing new in terms of story or filmmaking."<ref>{{cite news |title=Gajarama Movie Review : Gajarama review: A template commercial entertainer |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/gajarama/movie-review/118054177.cms |work=The Times of India |date=8 February 2025 |archive-date=7 April 2025 |access-date=7 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250407014019/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/gajarama/movie-review/118054177.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> A. Sharadhaa of ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While the emotional depth and themes of ambition, love, and failure hold promise, the film's uneven pacing and lack of refinement prevent it from fully realising its potential. It’s a journey of grit and heart, but one that feels incomplete in its execution."<ref>{{cite news |last1=A. |first1=Sharadhaa |title='Gajarama' movie review: Lacks strength to wrestle with emotions |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2025/Feb/10/gajarama-movie-review-lacks-strength-to-wrestle-with-emotions |work=The New Indian Express |date=9 February 2025 |language=en}}</ref><br />

Y. Maheswara Reddy of ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Rajavardan has improved a lot when compared to his previous movies. He is at his best in action scenes, especially in wrestling. He needs to hone his dancing skills though. Tapaswini Poonacha looks good and has acted well."<ref name="BMR">{{cite news |title=Gajarama Movie Review: A Rollercoaster of Love, Wrestling, and Drama |url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/gajarama-movie-review-a-rollercoaster-of-love-wrestling-and-drama/articleshow/118037923.cms |work=[[Bangalore Mirror]] |date=8 February 2025 |archive-date=9 April 2025 |access-date=7 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250409010201/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/gajarama-movie-review-a-rollercoaster-of-love-wrestling-and-drama/amp_articleshow/118037923.cms |url-status=live }}</ref><br />
