Balagam movie

One word: The best movie in this decade. I could not stop my tears rolling down. The Movie catches the soul of villages. Artists did not act in the movie. They lived in it and make us live in the story. Music is the best i have seen recently. Lyrics stir our souls. Movie is proper mix of laughs + tears. You feel like sitting in a village and watching what is going on in a village. The new generation must watch lo know their roots. Movie reminds our roots and our elders. Climax is so intense that my heart was throbbing and felt great reverence towards our parents. Movie shows what a parent feels while raising their kids and what he looks forward about his kids in his late years. Don't miss at all!!!! The movie portrays the message of " Be together to have a strength (balagam) " It is a story that completely shows family relationships. While going through the story we can have a glance at the village's Beauty, customs, and traditions. The movie is near to reality, I felt it is more connected to our real lives. The direction is very good, and some songs in the traditional way played a major role in describing the messages which the director wants to pass to the audience. Everyone had given their best for their characters. I felt it is a very good movie to watch with family or even with friends 😊 10/10 :Balagam is one of the best Film in present days, Priyadarshi acting was awesome at last , All artists, actors acted very well in this movie, It's a small movie felt like the...

Story: Komurayya (Sudhakar Reddy), an old man living in a Telangana village, is a jovial figure who wakes up early in the morning, greets everyone and works on his farm. He has three children – two sons, Aillaya (Jayaram) and Mogilayya and a daughter, Lakshmi (Roopa). But his family is no longer the same. His grandson Saayilu (Priyadarshi Pulikonda), a bright but self-centred youngster, decides to get married to clear his debts. Komurayya’s death just before the engagement changes the course of his life and the family members, rattling some skeletons in the closet. The family's pinda (riceball) ritual, attended by the whole village, shows that the old man’s soul is unsatisfied with something when the crows refrain from eating the offerings. Will the family sort out their differences, figure out and free the departed soul? Review: What makes a place and the people living in it who they are is its language, art, culture, rituals, lifestyle and beliefs. Balagam brilliantly imbibes the nuances of a typical Telangana village and narrates a powerful tale honestly. Well-known comedian Venu Yeldandi turned writer and director with this film and did a fantastic job on his debut. Right from the beginning, the film had a distinct appeal which draws the viewer into the lives of various characters living in the village. One would find these people in any village - from sensible to absurd – from children to elders. The way the death of an elder in the family and a ritual involving a cro...

Express News Service Having watched films like Karnan (2021), Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana (2021), and Angamaly Diaries (2017) I have always yearned for Telugu films to portray and celebrate our culture. My wish has been fulfilled with Balagam. It not only represents the customs of Telangana authentically but is entirely centred around its culture.

When a crow doesn’t eat it, it is believed that the dead are yet to find peace, and naturally, it’s not considered to be a good sign. So the family of the deceased patriarch, Komurayya (Sudhakar Reddy, a wonderful find), make the offering and wait for a crow to come down and have it. When it doesn’t happen, it creates emotional unrest--backed by quarrels in the past and egos--among them. And this conflict around the tradition transforms into the film’s core narrative; on one level, it is about the custom and on another level, it is about the people harbouring the custom.

That apart, their personalities stand as reflections of their responses to everything that happens at a funeral. The detailed portrayal is astounding. Also, the song that captures the last rites of Komurayya, which begins as a celebration and ends in m...
