Telugu cinema has always had action, romance, spy, thrillers, and more. However, a genre that has gone unrecognized and unnoticed is the superhero genre. As with many movies that go the underrated or unseen route, this 1967 movie went unseen. Though superhero movies are part of contemporary Indian cinema today, the Telugu film industry came close to that early in Bhakta Prahlada (1967).
The film, while not strictly a superhero movie per se, has a hero whose adventures and struggles replicate the very foundation of what contributes to contemporary superheroes being so legendary.
