It is quite rare for a Telugu film to fully capture the richness of Telangana – its traditions and culture – on the big screen. The last film which did this beautifully, in my view, was Udugula Venu’s Virata Parvam.

Overall Balagam is an honest endeavour that seeks to comprehend human values and emotions and it is done without the usual commercial frills.

Ingenuity in telling a natively rooted story is its strength. Watch it for its excellent storytelling, laced with the art and culture of rural Telangana.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.

What we know

A boisterous, bawdy, meddling village patriarch Komurayya’s death just before the engagement changes the course of his grandson Saayilu's life and the other family members, rattling some skeletons in the closet, exposing the rifts present within the family, causing bigger sociological calamities in the small village.
