A very good movie about human egos and relationships
26 March 2023
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.
