Before Geethanjali , horror in Tollywood often meant low-budget, C-grade affairs. Director Raj Kiran changed the game by mixing genuine scares with corporate humor. Starring Anjali in a dual role, the film follows a director and a scriptwriter who visit a haunted guest house to find inspiration, only to find a spirit that is as quirky as it is vengeful. It proved that horror could be commercially viable and stylishly made.
The success of horror movies in Telugu has paved the way for more filmmakers to explore this genre. With the growing demand for content-driven films, we can expect to see more horror movies in Telugu that cater to different tastes and preferences. The rise of streaming platforms has also made it easier for horror movies to reach a wider audience, providing more opportunities for Telugu filmmakers to showcase their work.
