Greatly captured the innocent village, relationships, great humor, amazing depiction of Telangana culture. Simple, heartfelt & pure as characters shed their egos to embrace one another, I cried during climax song. Toduga Ma Thodundi is the highlight of this movie. Without that the movie would not have been successful. The voice of Komuramma & Mogulaiah is so amazing that it shakes you soul. I bow to them After watch movie I am grounded, reminded what's permeant and what's not. What a wonderful movie, this generation wanted this type of movies to know the values of Joint family's Do not miss the movie period!

There is no doubt everyone who watched the film will think about their family grand parents ...parents and siblings.. death that is inevitable we all are running to our grave.. the generation gap is only difference... our grandparents are very lucky ... they have very good children and grand children ..our parents are lucky they at least got good children who know something about family values ...but we should be ready we will not get the kind of farewell..harsh truth but let's brace ourselves..venu thank you boss for getting Telangana Culture exposure to the world ..hats off.. but your movie proved that there are no barriers when it comes to families !! Thank you Venu ..!! Anyone who gives less than 10 rating are people who go and give 10 rating for Avengers end game ...! Even when foreigners watch this movie they will cry and understand the Depth of movie .!! I wish such great gems come out of Indian cinema which portray human emotions. Once rakshit shetty said in his interview..we are ready to buy remake rights for millions ..but not ready to pay few lakhs for writers...if we encourage writers like this we will get fantastic movies ..we don't need commercial masala movies all we need is real stories ..real emotions. This movie proves no cast no big budget is needed to make great movie ..big directors will go and sit in bathroom and cry for their inability to make such movies. I thank the entire unit especially the director..music director...the cast and finally the Folk singers who ended the movie on such a high note.

It is a simple family movies, which will take us through the backdrop of a village with egos, relationships, rituals. Emotions will come one way or other in every family and well done. Venu, as comedian we know all these days. Here we see his directorial debut and did good job. Venu did a good choice by having another person as hero. It worked out well. He can do part 2 similarly with a core rural village backdrop and different story. Rituals are created for a purpose. Those who thrash this statement will realize the hidden agenda of family relations and bonding after seeing the movie on my view. You will not be disappointed for watching this movie, if u r from village background.

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.

I recently had the pleasure of watching a this movie that focused on family emotional and unity relationships, and I must say, it was an exceptional cinematic experience. The film truly captured the essence of traditional village life and portrayed the significance of familial bonds and support. The acting was superb, with each actor bringing a depth and authenticity to their respective roles. The cinematography was also impressive, capturing the beauty of the rural setting and the vibrant village culture. One of the standout themes of the movie was the importance of communication and forgiveness in maintaining strong family relationships. The film showed how misunderstandings and grudges could tear families apart but also highlighted how open and honest communication and forgiveness could mend even the most broken of relationships. Overall, this movie was a heartfelt and touching portrayal of family emotional and unity relationships. It was a reminder of the value of family support and the power of forgiveness. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heartwarming and thought-provoking movie experience.

Very nice family movie, seeing for the fifth time in span of one week. I can relate my experience way back some 30yrs, in my childhood, in my village. Entire family should watch. Movie explains family bonding and values and easily relates to everybody day to day family. It tells us in subtle way, how last journey should also be beautifully enjoyed and make memorable! This is what you can give to departing soul. All the characters in the movie, we can relate to father, mother, sister, wife, son .... and even your near & dear. This movie will make everybody introspect themselves and definitely will find solace.

The screenplay and direction of the movie was simply awesome. Felt connected with the characters and the village setting. I'm not sure how other state people would connect to the storyline, but it would be interesting to see how other audience perceived it. Reminded me of the simple times how families in villages stay together and happy. It felt as if every role depicted of someone in my own family. It was so engaging, tears were rolling through many scenes. Simple movie with a right message to the current generation to not forget our roots. Strength of an individual comes from strong bonding with family.
