M9 News is doing a year-end recap for 2024, and we found only three movies that gained recognition through their genuine efforts, with no other external factors influencing their success.
The three films are 35 Chinna Katha Kaadu, Committee Kurrollu, and Pekamedalu. It does not mean these films were successful at the box office.

However, those who watched these movies in theaters are the reason behind the positive word-of-mouth, which contributed to their wider reach on OTT platforms.
These movies did not feature any star-driven hype or make any promotional gimmicks. They made an honest attempt, and the audiences rightly gave them the recognition they deserved.
