A biopic chronicling the life of the legendary singer-composer Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao, capturing his rise from humble beginnings, his artistic triumphs, and the mark he left on Indian cinema.

Ghantasala: The Great

Times of India

Ghantasala: The Great is a sincere, music-driven biographical drama that attempts to capture the life and legacy of Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao, one of Telugu cinema’s most celebrated voices. Steering clear of spectacle, the film relies on emotion, music and period detail, resulting in a tribute that works best in parts.
Director CH Rama Rao approaches Ghantasala’s story with restraint, opting for emotional storytelling over conventional dramatic highs. The film opens with his early hardships, where young Atulith delivers a grounded and sincere performance, effectively setting the emotional tone.
Music remains the backbone of the narrative. The use of Ghantasala’s original compositions lends authenticity, while the cinematography and background score recreate a bygone era with care. The visual palette and production design strengthen the film’s period setting, making the portrayal of the time one of its key strengths.
Krishna Chaitanya brings quiet conviction to the adult Ghantasala, while Mrudula is effective in her limited screen time. Suman plays Bade Ghulam Ali Khan with assurance, while the supporting cast supports the story well. However, abrupt time jumps, uneven editing and a slow pace affect narrative flow, with the background score occasionally overpowering dialogue. By presenting key moments through Ghantasala’s lens, the film may feel challenging for viewers unfamiliar with the era, but it remains a respectful, music-led tribute that resonates in moments rather than as a whole.
