In 2023, Balagam, a highly praised Telugu family drama, graced the movie screens. Making his directorial debut, Venu Yeldandi helmed this production. The film features Priyadarshi, Kavya Kalyanram, Sudhakar Reddy, GV Babu, and others in significant roles. This heartfelt story unfolds in a Telangana village, where the death of an elderly man named Komurayya sparks a cascade of emotional and social turbulence within his family.

In the wake of their grandfather’s passing, long-suppressed family tensions between his sons-in-law resurface, having been estranged for two decades. At the funeral, unresolved conflicts, strained relationships, and personal ambitions all come to the foreground. As I grapple with my own financial struggles, I find myself caught up in these complexities, trying to leverage the situation for my advantage. Simultaneously, rumors swirl among the villagers that my grandfather’s restless spirit is causing a series of unfortunate incidents.

In an effort to bring harmony back, the Panchayat steps in, encouraging the family to reconnect prior to the concluding ceremonies. A poignant moment occurs when they listen to a sorrowful melody that stirs introspection and fosters healing among them.
