At the spry age of 94, Pushpaka Vimana director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao has made a cheerful film about gold and greed and the environment and music that is also a tribute to his own storied career. The Telugu-language Sing Geetham, out on Netflix after a theatrical run, is packed with gold-diggers, tree-huggers, cursing gods and rapacious humans.
Pratap (Ayaan) arrives in the barren village Kuberapuram clutching papers that place him as the joint owner of a gold mine. The mine’s other owner Renu (Shalini Kondepudi) correctly assesses Pratap to be a pushover. Pratap initially stays on the sidelines as Renu has the only surviving tree uprooted, which causes immense distress to the tree’s avid supporter Gauri (Ahilya Bamroo).
The tree’s destruction unleashes a curse that makes everybody in Kuberapuram sing, rather than talk normally. Even the rooster yodels rather than crows. Worse still, the villagers begin to spout their true feelings.
Unable to leave the village, the reluctant singers try to find a way to get the curse lifted. The solution lies inside a cave protected by a mongoose deity as well as within themselves.
Working with his own script and music by Devi Sri Prasad, Singeetham Srinivasa Rao helms a fantasy that is light and humorous despite its sobering subject matter....
