~ With masterclasses, fireside chats and a star-packed line-up, Red Lorry Film Festival: Parallel Verse features 70+ titles from across the globe ~
~ Red Lorry Film Festival: Parallel Verse will take place in Hyderabad from
March 21st to March 23rd, 2025
Hyderabad, February 28, 2025: South Indian cinema, known for its rich storytelling and artistic excellence, is set to captivate audiences as the groundbreaking Red Lorry Film Festival: Parallel Verse, makes its spectacular debut in Hyderabad from March 21st to 23rd, 2025 at Prasads Multiplex. This extraordinary celebration unveils a grand line-up of over 70 exceptional titles, showcasing the festival's passionate commitment to cinematic diversity and unparalleled quality. Movie enthusiasts will be treated to a dazzling array of global and Indian films, with a special spotlight on the vibrant world of Telugu cinema, offering everything from beloved classics that defined generations to cutting-edge contemporary masterpieces that push the boundaries of filmmaking.
The second edition of Red Lorry Film Festival is brought to you by BookAChange, by BookMyShow Foundation, empowering emerging artists through the transformative power of cinema.
As a tribute to some of the best of filmmaking, the film festival will feature dedicated categories such as ‘Timeless Tales’ and ‘Legacy Rewind’, each designed to offer cinephiles a nostalgic journey through the most influential films, some from South Indian cinema as well. The category’s lineup includes some of the most celebrated works from across the world and Indian cinema, offering a rare opportunity to experience these masterpieces on the big screen once again.
‘Mayabazar’ (1957), the legendary fantasy epic by K. V. Reddy, continues to be one of the most cherished films in Indian cinematic history, weaving mythology with mesmerising storytelling. Adding to this esteemed collection is ‘Missamma’ (1955), L. V. Prasad’s poignant yet humorous narrative that seamlessly blends social commentary with timeless entertainment, making it a treasured masterpiece for generations. Speaking about his father’s film, Ramesh Prasad said, "I remember watching my father meticulously craft each scene of Missamma, balancing religious harmony with romantic comedy in ways that were revolutionary for the 1950s. Seeing this cherished family legacy featured at Red Lorry Film Festival is a reminder that his intuitive understanding of human nature created characters that still appeal to new generations."
‘Pushpaka Vimana’ (1987) and ‘Aditya 369’ (1991) will spotlight the extensive line-up, paying tribute to the renowned director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao at the film festival. ‘Pushpaka Vimana’, the silent classic celebrated for its innovative storytelling and satirical undertones remains a cinematic feat that continues to inspire filmmakers. It stands as one of Indian cinema's boldest experiments - the silent black comedy masterpiece that broke new ground and at its core, delivered a scathing critique of socio-economic inequality in 1980s India. It follows an unemployed graduate, brilliantly portrayed by Kamal Haasan whose performance as the unnamed protagonist showcased his extraordinary versatility. Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, shared, "When I conceptualised Pushpaka Vimana, I was struggling with my own questions about wealth and fulfilment. I deliberately stripped away dialogue to challenge myself as a storyteller and to capture the irony of 1980s India where educated youth faced crushing unemployment. Seeing this silent experiment still resonate decades later at Red Lorry Film Festival validates my belief that visual storytelling transcends language barriers."
‘Aditya 369’ (1991), a visionary sci-fi film featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna and Mohini, led the way for Indian science fiction with its time-travel narrative. Nandamuri Balakrishna, whose recent release ‘Daaku Maharaj’ performed phenomenally well at the box office, is often praised for his high-energy sequences and powerful dialogues. With the 1980s and 1990s being a period of exploration for him, ‘Aditya 369’ was a product of that urge to think beyond the usual. Singeetham Srinivasa Rao said, "Creating India's first major time travel narrative with Aditya 369 was a personal obsession that many thought would fail. I spent countless nights reading mythology, trying to merge scientific concepts with our rich cultural history. Watching audiences experience that sense of wonder we saw years ago, once again at Red Lorry Film Festival, makes me remember why we pushed our boundaries."
Rounding off this stellar lineup is 'Manmadhudu' (2002), a cult romantic comedy featuring Nagarjuna and Sonali Bendre that continues to enchant audiences decades after its release. Directed by K. Vijaya Bhaskar with music by Devi Sri Prasad, the film is celebrated for its witty dialogue, charming performances and exploration of modern relationships through a traditional lens. About his role in Manmadhudu, Mr. Nagarjuna Akkineni went on to say, " I enjoyed playing Abhiram who has a quirky sense of humour in Manmadhudu. Every dialogue in the film has a deeper sense of meaning if you look into the layers. And that’s what turned it into a cult romantic comedy, which uplifts and makes people smile whenever they watch it. I am sure the film fans who are coming to the Red Lorry festival will enjoy this movie." Ms. Supriya Yarlagadda, Executive Director, Annapurna Studios stated, "Manmadhudu is a landmark film for us at Annapurna Studios. Making this film with layered characters and light-heartedness at every point makes it a film that people keep going back to smile. We are happy that Manmadhudu is being showcased at the Red Lorry Film Festival."
'Kshana Kshanam' (1991) brings Ram Gopal Varma's visual wizardry to life in this thrilling escapade where a bank robbery accidentally entangles an ordinary woman with a charming thief. Sridevi delivers a captivating performance balancing vulnerability and resilience, while Daggubati Venkatesh's roguish charm creates irresistible on-screen chemistry. This 1991 classic redefined Telugu thrillers with its innovative cinematography, pulsating Ilaiyaraaja soundtrack and perfect blend of humour, romance and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
Capturing the spirit of youth, ‘Happy Days’ (2007) remains a nostalgic coming-of-age drama that beautifully encapsulates the essence of friendships and aspirations, starring Tamannah Bhatia, Varun Sandesh, Nikhil Siddhartha, Sonia Deepti and Kamalini Mukherjee. ‘Happy Days’ was Tamannah Bhatia’s big break into Telugu films and the start of a flourishing career in South Indian cinema.
'Chandamama' (2007), starring Kajal Aggarwal and Navdeep Pallapolu, delivers a heartwarming tale of love and camaraderie. Set against a picturesque village backdrop, the film weaves together elements of romance, friendship and personal growth as the characters navigate life's unexpected challenges. Director Krishna Vamsi's nuanced storytelling brings depth to this memorable cinematic experience. Krishna Vamsi added, "The folklore, the community celebrations, the simple joys of a village that we see – I poured these deeply personal memories into every frame. Red Lorry Film Festival’s selection of this film feels like a validation of the authenticity that the story displayed and the legacy of my storytelling."
‘Nene Raju Nene Mantri’ (2017) with Rana Daggubati and Kajal Aggarwal in lead roles, is a gripping political thriller that explores the intricate dynamics of power, ambition and moral compromise. The film follows the journey of an ordinary man who enters politics and gradually transforms as he navigates the treacherous landscape of governance and authority. Cinematographer Venkat C. Dileep added, "My camera became Jogendra's conscience in Nene Raju Nene Mantri. I deliberately created a visual language as his moral compass deteriorated. Seeing our work appreciated at Red Lorry Film Festival validates the sleepless nights and creative risks we undertook."
Complementing the film screenings, the festival will feature exclusive masterclasses and panel discussions with renowned filmmakers and industry veterans who will offer insights into their craft and the evolution of Indian cinema.
As the international festival expands its cinematic universe, cinephiles can now purchase their passes exclusively on BookMyShow, starting at just Rs. 750/-. Don’t miss out on the chance to revel in the best of global cinema; mark your calendars and prepare for an unforgettable cinematic journey!

· Housing prices on the upswing for the 16th consecutive quarter
· Delhi NCR saw more than 30% annual housing price rise, highest rise amongst top 8 Indian cities
· Overall unsold inventory dropped 5% on an annual basis
Mumbai, India, 25 February 2025: Average housing prices across the top eight markets in India witnessed a 10% YoY rise during the last quarter of 2024, led by healthy demand momentum and positive market sentiment. Interestingly, average housing prices have been on a rising spree for the 16th consecutive quarter, starting 2021. Price appreciation was evident in all the eight major cities, with Delhi NCR witnessing the highest rise at 31% YoY growth, followed by Bengaluru at 23% YoY rise during Q4 2024. While affordable housing segment will continue to form the bulk of housing sales, demand within luxury and ultra-luxury segments can amplify further in 2025. Traction in these segments is likely to drive average housing prices upwards across most major residential markets of the country in the next few quarters.
Overall unsold inventory continued to decline for the fourth consecutive quarter and dropped 5% annually during Q4 2024 backed by healthy demand. At the end of December 2024, unsold inventory at the India level stood below 10 lakh housing units for the first time in the last two years. MMR, with a share of ~40%, continued to account for a majority of the unsold inventory. Notably, Pune saw the highest annual drop in unsold inventory at 14%, closely followed by Hyderabad with 13% decline.
Mr. Boman Irani, President of CREDAI National stated, “The sustained growth in housing prices underscores the strong confidence among homebuyers, driven by a preference for spacious living and lifestyle upgrades. With evolving consumer aspirations, we are witnessing increased demand for larger homes, better amenities, and integrated living spaces. This positive sentiment has translated into steady sales momentum across segments. While evolving preferences and lifestyle upgrades remain key motivators, cost pressures in construction and land acquisition are also significantly contributing to pricing trends. As we look ahead, a potential reduction in interest rates could further boost affordability and drive even greater demand. This positive trend is expected to continue and thrive through the year, making it an opportune time for homebuyers to invest in real estate."
"Overall housing prices across the top eight Indian cities surged 10% on an annual basis in 2024. Prominent markets such as Delhi NCR and Bengaluru saw the steepest rise in average housing prices amidst rise in demand for luxury and ultra-luxury segments. Furthermore, the recent repo rate reduction along with government initiatives to fund stressed residential projects will provide boost to affordable housing segment. Going ahead, with elbowroom for further reduction in benchmark lending rates, most cities are likely to witness traction in housing sales across categories. Resultantly, average residential prices can potentially increase at similar levels in 2025 on an annual basis. “ added, Badal Yagnik, Chief Executive Officer, Colliers, India.

“Sales witnessed a marginal decline, led by moderated new launches in the last quarter. We anticipate a growth in affordable and mid-segment supply and sales going forward, which will change the composition of supply, which has been skewed towards the luxury segment for the last four years”, said Pankaj Kapoor, Managing Director, Liases Foras.
Within the top cities, Delhi NCR saw the highest rise in housing prices at 31% YoY
Delhi NCR witnessed the highest rise amongst India's top eight cities, with average housing prices soaring by 31% YoY. This price rise in the city is attributable to the strong sales momentum, particularly in luxury & ultra-luxury segments. While Dwarka Expressway witnessed the highest annual price rise at 58%, Greater Noida too witnessed impressive growth of 52% YoY. Going forward, the upcoming Jewar International Airport, will continue to spur residential prices in the catchment areas.
Moreover, annual price appreciation was notable in Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Pune as well, led by healthy demand spurred by infrastructure upgrades in key areas of these cities. Prominent micro markets such as Periphery & Outer West in Bengaluru, and Baner & Nagar Road in Pune saw significant traction in ready-to-move-in units. Resultantly, average housing prices in these micro markets increased by up to 15% YoY during Q4 2024.
Pune witnessed highest YoY drop in unsold units at 14%, MMR witnessed a drop in inventory levels after nearly 3 years
“The demand for luxury and ultra-luxury segments was particularly strong throughout 2024. The share of spacious dwelling units in overall housing sales have been on the rise, particularly in cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Pune. Average housing prices of 3-4BHK apartments in these cities increased by up to 34% YoY during Q4 2024. Evolving lifestyles, desire for upscale amenities, a growing population of HNIs, and perception of luxury properties as status symbols & investment opportunities will continue to drive housing sales in premium categories in the next few quarters,” said Vimal Nadar, Senior Director and Head of Research, Colliers India.
