Ayaan, who is released from Bhopal prison after serving a sentence for fraud, receives the title deed to his family property. He discovers that his family owns nearly 100 acres of land and travels to a village called Kuberapuram in search of it. The village, which resembles a desert, survives by depending on two excavated gold mines. Upon arriving, Ayaan learns that his father is one of the owners of the gold mine.
Planning to sell his land for profit and leave immediately, Ayaan’s plans are disrupted by an unexpected incident that prevents him from leaving. As a result, everyone in the village develops a strange condition where they sing even the most ordinary conversations instead of speaking them.
Not just the people—even the village rooster announces the dawn in a musical style. The villagers believe this unusual phenomenon is a curse from Lord Kubera. Whether they manage to break the curse, and whether Ayaan succeeds in escaping with the money, forms the rest of the story of Sing Geetham.
After astonishing audiences with Pesum Padam, a film without dialogues, director Singeetam Srinivasa Rao brings another unique concept to life by imagining a world where every dialogue is sung.
Though the idea is unconventional, every frame reflects the tremendous effort that has gone into presenting it effectively. While telling the story in a fantasy style, the director also delivers a meaningful message—that if humanity continues to destroy nature out of greed, nature itself will eventually strike back. He conveys this beautifully through cinematic storytelling, leaving the audience with something to think about.
Ayaan performs well in the lead role. While he is entertaining throughout, he particularly shines in the emotional scenes involving his mother and in the moments where his character realizes his mistakes and reforms.
Ahalya Bamroo, who plays Gowri, a young woman fighting to protect trees and nature, wins over the audience with her energetic and lively performance.
Shalini Kondepudi, as one of the owners of the gold mine, impresses with her measured performance and expressive screen presence.
Nivetha Pethuraj as Sailajamma, Rahul Ravindran as the hero’s father, Shiva Narayana as the heroine’s father, Banerjee, Vamsi, and Vijay Deverakonda in a special appearance all make a strong impression with their performances.
Cinematographer Ankur C captures the visuals so convincingly that it becomes difficult to distinguish reality from artificial sets. His portrayal of the barren landscape and its people adds considerable strength to the film.
Music director Devi Sri Prasad deserves special praise for transforming ordinary spoken words into songs throughout the film. Along with excellent standalone songs, his background score breathes life into every scene.
Art director Aravind Mule has created an entire village with remarkable authenticity. The vast barren land, the lone banyan tree, the villagers’ homes, the old gold mines, the Kubera temple, and the mongoose statue all look completely natural despite being constructed sets.
The screenplay by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, Gauthami Challagulla, Shashank Chintalapudi, Ratna Srikar, Nandakishore Emani, and Rahul V. Rajeshwar blends fantasy and devotion with a strong sense of social responsibility. Instead of delivering a preachy message, the writers effectively address human greed and environmental destruction through visual storytelling.
Even after more than 50 years in cinema, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao continues to surprise audiences with bold experimental filmmaking and fresh ideas, offering a truly unique cinematic experience.
At a time when many viewers lose interest if a song appears every half hour, Singeetam boldly turns every dialogue into a song and has every character sing throughout the film. Yet he handles this challenging concept so naturally that audiences enjoy every moment without feeling exhausted.
Although it is an unconventional experiment, the film succeeds because of the collective efforts of the cinematographer, composer, editor, dubbing artists, and the entire technical team. At over 80 years of age, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao proves that while he may be a veteran in years, his creativity remains youthful
