Balagam is incomparable to anymovie it's a Game changer in Tollywood

[@popcornpassions]

Abhilasha Cherukuri - I got to know for the first time through this roundtable. What a wonderful host anchoring this conversation, you let the discussion take an organic path moving from person to another person without having to force anyone to speak. This is the roundtable I'm watching of Telugu Directors and it was such a delight to listen to their views and process.

[@hemanthisaria7396]

So proud of you, Abhilasha! 🫶🏻

[@sunilk8829]

Very good roundtable, its nice to see all the directors have different perspectives so there is no one rule to make a film, wish to see more diverse films in future rather than cancelling a film if not liked by some ideologies

[@avinash5367q]

I went to theater after 4 years for baby oka paata kosam Vella theatre experience enjoy chesa kani movie nachaledu but I was happy with the experience.watched balagam and Virupaksha in ott loved both than baby movie

[@srikutp1989]

Disappointed to have a bad Audio quality throughout the video.

[@arunreddy239]

Pareshan director voice is same as in movie pareshan sync sound we can't hear correctly

[@vardhankanuri9875]

Technical team interview kuda tesukondi dops ,editors, cg related!!

[@govardhanreddy6929]

I felt Dasara movie director is missing Here ?

[@SrikarChahasti]

I am not a big fan of Balagam and Month of Madhu like everyone else was. I liked Virupaksha. People don't give enough credit to the visuals of Pareshan, they're really underrated. Sai Rajesh is two-faced. He claimed he couldn't celebrate, yet he kept posting about his collections and flaunting his new car on social media. Also, he said adding one scene could justify the female character, but he couldn't make that call, revealing his hypocrisy. Anger Tales was dull, but Venkatesh Maha delivered a stellar performance. Here's an unpopular opinion - Suhas is praised a lot purely because of his underdog and innocent looking image, but in my view he's overrated. Sure he has a good voice, but his acting is limited. He struggles to express more than a few emotions and falls short as an actor.

[@tyagarajakinkara]

Same thing here. I love pareshaan and it's writing

[@SrikarChahasti]

@@tyagarajakinkara Some reviewers whom I used to follow gave it a negative talk so I skipped watching it in the theater thinking it was just another Telangana movie like Mem Famous. But when I watched it on OTT I could understand the director's vision. The acting and music also deserve more recognition.

[@tyagarajakinkara]

@@SrikarChahasti 😊, you have my love. It's a brilliant comedy from authentic Telangana 😍

[@ghantasarathchandra1077]

Loved this initiative but Sound quality is too poor andi! Please focus on it !

[@vsbharan7722]

Hey,nice roundtable..can I suggest to make the same for musicians too?? Like music producers,programmers,mix master engineers, sound designers and instrument players etc. It would be very nice to get their perspective.

[@sairan7715]

prathivadu #MONTHOFMADHU ni great cinema ani kastabadi agree cheyyalsi vastundi roundtable lo ...

[@toyotachevroIet4972]

Telugu critics are the biggest clowns. It's a shame there ain't one decent Telugu critic. Vanga nailed it when he said BR is India's top critic.

[@boomboom21604]

😂😂 she doesn't even know basics

[@noncriticalfan]

​@@boomboom21604 what you meant by basics?

[@b.avinash524]

​@@toyotachevroIet4972Great observation I lately feel Telugu critics act like clowns of Tamil counterparts they praise Tamil movies and Malayalam movies infront of them but they downgrade telugu movies... You can see in their writings and in social media...

[@Gunvoak]

[@aajay7733]

Month of madhu lawdala cinema thisi oorke convo madyalo disturb chesthuna. Nuvem joker director vi ra. Pakka vallu chepedhi vinu, nerchuko.

[@Hrith_]

This year, telugu cinema was disappointing

[@boomboom21604]

False! It's highly successful

[@Hrith_]

@boomboom21604 bullshit None of them were great movies they had few decent movies, but nothing praise worthy, who cares about success. I don't know why our people judge the movie based on collection is really sad.

[@ateluguguysentertainmentm251]

time waste...!
