When, after 2 hours of what feels like third degree, Samantha Ruth Prabhu's 30-second appearance as a mentally-deranged asylum inmate cheers you up because of its sheer corniness, you know that here's a Gautham Menon film that should never have been.
Erra Gulabeelu is a movie about a sex-addict psychopath Samar (Veera) who turned out that way because his childhood was spent being abused by his paedophile father. A matronly neighbour Meenakshi rescues him and brings him up, only to have to thwart his forced advances upon her in her bedroom.
