Watch the trailer for Sing Geetham here:

Produced by Nag Ashwin, Sing Geetham released in theatres on June 12 and has been receiving positive responses from audiences and industry members alike. Starring Shalini Kondepudi, Ahilya and Ayaan in lead roles, the film is set in the village of Kuberapuram, which sits atop gold mines.

The story follows a young girl who opposes the villagers' plan to sell the mines and cut down trees in pursuit of wealth. She later finds support in a young man, but their fight takes an unexpected turn when a curse from the local deity forces the villagers to communicate only through songs instead of regular conversation.

With appreciation continuing to pour in, Sing Geetham has emerged as an experimental musical fantasy that celebrates the enduring creativity of one of Indian cinema's most revered filmmakers.
