Telugu cinema has consistently been one of the biggest producers of commercial films in India, and it has been the case for a really long time now as well. However, there are obvious shortcomings when it comes to creative and artwork kind of films.

But for a change, Tollywood is coming up with a series of highly intriguing offbeat films like Sing Geetham and Rao Bahadur which are up for release shortly.

The first film is directed by the legendary Singeetham Srinivas who’s 94 years old and still held the megaphone for this film. It is going to be a film with no dialogues, but several songs which will primarily constitute the entire narrative.

The second film is Rao Bahadur, and it has the ever talented Satya Dev in the lead role. It is directed by Venkatesh Maha and preparing for its release on July 4.

This is going to be another artistic expression film and the promotional material thus far has been indicative of the same.

It is evident that Telugu cinema is given to produce to peculiar films in a span of three weeks, but the real question is whether the Telugu audience would turn up in numbers to encourage the same.

It has become tough or even commercial template films to bring audience to theatres in big numbers, but we have to see if the audience would play their part in encouraging such peculiar films, given that they come with solid content.
