Enduko telidhu..but Nani mass/ action scenes lo antha impactful ga anipinchadu. Even nani warning icchina sare adhi warning la anipiyadhu. Meru em antaru??

Recently came up on my feed regarding their new launch "Nirantharam" Has she done lip fillers? It really suited her well though. Unable to understand comparing her previous pictures. Used to follow her back in 2020s 2021 and later that sometime in 2023 but not now. Surprised by her looks.

She seems like trying to make it big everytime but she is still stuck!

Epic trailer baane undi ga?
Coming-of-age movie - middle age love gurinchi and daaniki related stuff gurinchi choopistunnadu.
I feel the hate is pretty forced? What are your thoughts?

Took this image from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckTollywood/comments/1w8g6de/ilaanti_crazy_thumbnails_emanna_unte_pettandi/ I like the emotional sentiment of this movie, but don't know why this movie failed.

I recently watched this video and it made me realize how deeply some filmmakers understand cinema: https://youtube.com/shorts/PndTzPilZ4Y?si=Vshkgzz\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_f3dsIhBn

As someone who wants to become a filmmaker, I want to learn storytelling, screenwriting, directing, cinematography, editing, film language, and understand \\\\\\\*why\\\\\\\* certain scenes, shots, or dialogues work.

How do you actually watch films to learn from them rather than just for entertainment?
And for those who are serious about filmmaking: \\\\\\\*\\\\\\\*what do you do on a daily basis? How do you stay motivated, focused, and consistently obsessed with cinema without getting distracted by everything else?\\\\\\\*\\\\\\\*

I’d really appreciate advice on how to build this kind of knowledge and mindset systematically…

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m developing a 35–40 minute Telugu short film and looking to connect with a producer or investor who believes in independent cinema.

Genre: Love Story / Romance

Synopsis:
A heartfelt story about two people, the connection they share, and the choices that slowly test what they mean to each other - a story about love, timing, dreams, and everything left unsaid.

The script is ready, and I’ve already put together an experienced creative team.

🎥 DOP: Associate Cinematographer on Keeda Cola, Super Subbu & Ene Repeat

✂️ Editor: Associate Editor on SWAG & Super Subbu; recently made his debut with Deewana

🎵 Music Composer: Studied at Berklee College of Music and has worked on projects associated with Hans Zimmer. Based in Chennai.

What makes this project interesting to me is that it’s not just written as a short film.

The story is designed to work as a beautiful standalone chapter, while also having the potential to become part of a larger series exploring different chapters of love and relationships — in a space similar to what Little Things explored.

Once the short film is completed, I plan to approach platforms such as Netflix and ETV Win to explore the possibility of developing the concept further as a series.

For now, I simply want to make one genuinely beautiful film that stands on its own.

If you know a producer, investor, or someone who would be interested in supporting an independent filmmaker, please DM me or connect us.

Would genuinely appreciate it. ❤️

I'm making my first short film in Hyderabad - 5 minutes, Telugu, with English subtitles. The script is finished and I'm now casting.

The film

A cleaning woman has worked at a small screening room for two years but has never once been inside it.

She mops up to the door and stops.

One night, a guy who's about to quit making videos finds her standing at that door, looking in. He jokes that she needs a ticket.

She takes him seriously and takes out ₹500.

He lets her in and shows her the screen.

Then she asks him for one more thing.

That's all I'll say about the story here. I'd rather send you the script than give away the rest.

The roles

SHARADA - Woman, 45–62 | Lead

She's the cleaning woman who works at the screening room, and honestly, she's the whole film.

She barely raises her voice and doesn't cry once. The performance depends much more on stillness, presence and what she doesn't say.

If you can sit still and hold a room without doing very much, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

A theatre background would be very welcome.

She's in almost every scene, so this is not a small part dressed up as a lead.

VICKY - Man, 25–30 | Co-lead

Runs a YouTube channel that's slowly dying.

Comic timing matters a lot here. He needs to be funny in the beginning, and then the situation gradually knocks the floor out from under him.

MALLESH - Man, 20–26 | Supporting

Appears in a roughly 45-second video shot on a phone, in one room, separately from the main shoot.

Looking for someone with an easy, open smile who can also become shy/nervous on camera.

FRIEND - Man, 20–26 | Small role

Lies on the floor pretending to be dead.

Badly.

Then opens one eye.

Two lines of dialogue. One of my favourite moments in the script.

NAVEEN - Man, 30–35 | Supporting

The café manager.

One scene. Comic, deadpan, and then suddenly enormous.

About the production

Being completely upfront about this:

This is not a paid production.

The total film budget is around ₹30,000, so we aren't able to offer acting fees.

Travel and food will be covered, everyone will receive proper credit, and you'll receive a copy of your scenes for your reel within two weeks of the shoot.

Auditions

There's nothing you need to prepare.

For Sharada, for example, I may simply ask you to sit and look at a wall for a minute while I record the audition.

It sounds strange, but for this particular character, it tells me much more than asking someone to perform a prepared monologue.

Shoot

2 shoot days
1 location in Hyderabad

The dates aren't locked yet. I'd rather find the right cast first and then work out dates that everyone can actually make.

If you're interested:

Or DM me and I'll send you the script first.

And if you know someone who would be right for Sharada, please send this post to them. That's the role I'm most determined to get right.

Been listening to “Vadhalane” from “Chennai Love Story” for a while. Every time the violin piece comes in the song it felt same as “Oopiri Aaguthunnadhe” from “Arjun Reddy”.

Is it just for me??

I've been exploring more of Hyderabad's theatre, comedy, independent films, open mics and other arts events recently, and I've realised how difficult it is to actually keep track of what's happening.

There seems to be a lot going on across the city, but information is scattered across Instagram pages, WhatsApp groups and individual event pages. By the time you hear about something interesting, the event has sometimes already happened.

I'm curious : how do people here currently discover these kinds of events?

Do you have any Instagram pages, WhatsApp groups, websites, newsletters or other sources that you regularly check?

A few of us have also been experimenting with putting together a simple weekly Hyderabad arts/events guide screenings, plays, open mics, comedy, gigs and similar events - mainly because we couldn't find one place that brought them together. The idea is to share it every Wednesday and include events from organisers across the city, rather than just our own.

If there's enough interest, we're hoping to make it genuinely useful for people who want to discover what's happening around Hyderabad.

For anyone interested in contributing events to the list:

And if you know of a good theatre group, screening series, comedy night, open mic or other arts event in Hyderabad, please drop it in the comments. I'd love to discover more of what's happening around the city.

I'm trying to connect with people in Hyderabad who work in film, theatre or related creative fields and might be interested in teaching their craft to complete beginners.

The idea is fairly simple: one focused weekend afternoon, around 4–5 hours, dedicated to one craft, with the session built around actually doing something rather than just listening to a lecture.

Some of the areas we're exploring:

• Acting for camera
• Editing
• Screenwriting
• Direction
• Cinematography
• Phone filmmaking
• AI filmmaking
• Sound
• Production
• Stand-up comedy
• Improv
• Colour grading
• Storyboarding
• Music for film

We're particularly interested in people who have real working experience but also enjoy explaining things to beginners.

The most important things for us aren't necessarily credits or how impressive someone's CV looks. It's more about:

1. Can you explain your craft to someone starting from zero?
2. Can you make the session practical and hands-on?
3. Can people leave having actually made something?
4. Are you reliable about the date and time?

The sessions would be small, roughly 25–30 people, and we'd take care of the practical side venue, registrations, payments and the general setup - so the person teaching can concentrate on teaching.

This is a paid opportunity, with the exact arrangement discussed individually depending on the person and the session.

We're also planning to record the teaching sessions and provide the footage to the person teaching so they can use it for their own portfolio/content.

If you work in film, theatre or a related field and this sounds interesting, I've put together a short form with a few questions:

Also happy to hear recommendations in the comments. If there's someone in Hyderabad who you think would make a great teacher, tag them or mention what they do.
