Balagam

This movies portrays the rural life in Telangana very accurately. The casting of actors is top notch and they performed very well.

Movie brought back memories of my grandfather funeral.

It showcased most of the ceremonies accurately like waiting for the crow to eat food offered, the processions towards the burial ground, etc.

It subtly showcased how the egos and small rifts breaks the family relationships. It showcased how the financial greed is affecting the families and creating rifts between people.

The music is very nice with songs having meaningful lyrics. The folk songs are so apt to the script.

The climax is the highlight of the movie. It reminds you that family should stay together no matter what.

The main plot of the movie is about a funeral of a family head.

The cinematography is nice and captured the emotions pretty well. Editing is crisp and there is no unnecessary scenes/fillers which makes the viewing enjoyable and narration gripping.

The director did a pretty good job handling the script with a very engaging screenplay.

I highly recommend watching this movie.

What a movie. Just watched without expectations and story. Movie was made with brilliance. First of thanks to Director Venu for such a emotional movie. Even I started the movie like just an old man rite why showing this much. Later he given justification of every character. Biggest asset to this movie is casting. We really thought yes it's a family, didn't get any doubt. Most of the characters we used to see daily in our routine life. In my point of view Venu also a star director. Other than Venu nobody tackle this movie with that intense. I know only Venu wonders from Jabardasth but this Venu is completely different. No flaws. Bheems music apt in all the scenes. Especially climax song and scenes OMG.😢😢

Positives: 1. Good Story Line. Great Idea to to pick this concept by the debutant director Venu.

2. Good Screen Play.

3. Good acting by each Cast. Even few Minute performances added important roles to the Play.

4. Songs are so connected to each frame. Very meaningful lyrics.

5. BGM and scoring is also good.

6. Comedy scenes are highlight for the movie. Especially the Dialogue " rendu nimishalu agarade " connected to each scene.

Negatives: (we can say these as suggessions) 1. Colour Grading can be added.

2. CG can be improved.

3. Not a spoiler but Finally the director hasn't said how the hero paid his debts. Ofcourse the Emotion in the Climax is too high and he ended there.

But, Ultimately a must watch film especially for kids to know the love of the elders towards their kids.

A feel good Emotional comedy drama with soulful music which entertains as well as educates you.

Whole point is conveyed to the characters and audience within a single song and heart touching lyrics Vocals , music , performances , traditions & their slang everything is so natural Didn't expect this from Venu Yeladandi anna , He is a Ruby in soil from writing comedy scripts to writing and directing a movie based on village nativity is not that easy and he did it & Bheems Ceciroleo did magic by bringing the cultural songs onscreen with the heart touching lyrics The 10 stars for the perfect debut of Venu Yeldandi.

Amidst the mind-numbing deluge of big-budget, mindless masala movies that have earned the Telugu film industry a poor reputation among intellectual audience, "Balagam" stands out for its exceptional storytelling. One of the most impressive aspects of the film is the remarkable talent of the relatively unknown Telugu actors who shine in their roles. Priyadarshi's performance is noteworthy, showcasing his brilliance once again after his stellar turn in "Mallesham."

The clever use of songs to drive the narrative forward sets "Balagam" apart from most Telugu movies where they often become roadblocks to the story. The film's authenticity and sincerity have garnered widespread acclaim, making it a must-watch for those looking for a movie with substance.
