The Telugu film industry has great stories and yet more frightening visuals. For the past two years, horror movies have created a ruckus among the audiences. It has not just an exciting plot but also scary moments. Which among these is the most terrifying? Let’s find out.

[1] Geethanjali Malli Vachindi

Geethanjali Malli Vachindi is a Telugu horror film. Siva Thurlapati directed it. Kona Venkat and M. V. V. Satyanarayana produced it together through their production houses, Kona Film Corporation and MVV Cinema. Cast in lead roles are:

• Anjali

Ayaan (Satya) and his companion Seenu (Srinivasa Reddy), a struggling director, plan to make a film but face many difficulties. Just when they’re ready to give up, businessman Vishnu (Rahul Madhav) offers to produce the movie, insisting they film in his haunted palace, Sangeeth Mahal. Anjali, a coffee shop owner, is cast as the heroine.

As filming proceeds, strange events occur. What are the palace’s secrets? Who is Vishnu? Discover the full story Aha video.

[2] Mandira

The movie Mandira, produced by Sai Sudhakar Kommalapati under Vision Movie Makers, features dialogues by K Ravindra Kalyan and Sri Sai. The music is composed by Javed Riaz, with Deepak D. Menon as the cinematographer and SR Promotions (Sai Satish) handling publicity.

The film stars in important roles are:

This Telugu horror film is available for streaming on Aha starting December 5 for suspense thriller enthusiasts.

The story is about a lady, Mandira, who, along with her boyfriend, goes to a small town that everyone says is quiet and plain. But things change rather dramatically when Mandira starts to see several disturbing truths concerning her family’s history.

The drama begins to take an interesting turn when she begins feeling that she is not alone. Some events that are really strange, terrifying visions and prickly feelings of his ghost company’s presence, create a premise that is equally creepy and emotional.

But this ghost is unlike all the other ghosts. For Mahindra, it is more than a dreaded figure; she experiences a deep connection. Then, what is that ghost? An enemy or perhaps a saviour? So, this is exactly what it tempts the viewers with and keeps them engaged.

[3] Pindam

Pindam is a horror thriller directed by Sai Kiran Daida. It features Sriram and Kushee Ravi, marking her debut in Telugu films, along with Easwari Rao and Srinivas Avasarala in supportive roles.

The film is based on a real event that took place in a 1930s Nalgonda home. The film came out on December 15, 2023. It is now streaming on Aha Video.

The story is about a powerful spirit that has never been on Earth before, and it begins to threaten the life of a six-year-old girl who cannot speak, as well as her family. It’s up to Annamma, the only demonologist in India, to save them by uncovering the spirit’s true purpose and its past.

Over to you

Telugu horror films have a new benchmark to reach. The last two years have shown how the genre continues to evolve, promising even more thrilling experiences for audiences in the future.

One unusual kind of art that has endured over time is Vinyl Pinstripe. Originally embraced in the realm of custom vehicles and motorbikes, it has evolved from the automotive industry to be a cherished design trend in many other creative fields. Vinyl pinstriping is a classic design choice with a unique approach to improving the look of everything from furniture to cars because of its accuracy and elegance.

What is Vinyl Pinstriping?

Vinyl pinstriping is the application of fine lines or designs created from premium adhesive vinyl. Usually for decoration, the vinyl is meticulously cut and affixed to surfaces including boats, cars, or even furniture. Depending on the intended impact, the lines could be straightforward and modest or complex and detailed. While hand with brushes, classical pinstriping was done; it provides a modern, practical approach to get similar effects with accuracy and durability.

A Rich History in Customization

Especially in the hot rod and lowrider groups, it originated in the mid-20th-century custom automobile scene. Often in order to accentuate clean body lines or insert complex motifs that expressed the owner’s personality, craftsmen used it to give vehicles flair and personalizing power. It became rather popular over time and found its way onto boats, motorcycles, and even architectural details. It became a long-standing design trend right away because of its adaptability and unique creation power.

Why Vinyl Pinstriping is Timeless

Vinyl pinstriping has stayed a pillar of design for various reasons. Its adaptability first enables countless creative opportunities. It lets you make a strong statement or give a subdued elegance fit for any style. Furthermore, very robust and weather-resistant Vinyl Pinstripe guarantees that designs will last for years to come.

Applying Vinyl Pinstripes: A Simple Process

Applying pinstripes is a simple task suitable for both experts and amateurs. It is precisely measured and cut to the required length following surface clean-up. It is then run across the surface using a squeegee to guarantee no flaws or air bubbles remain. The outcome is a neat, exact design that might change the appearance of any object or car.

The art of vinyl pinstriping is a timeless design trend that has persisted for decades due to its versatility, durability, and creative potential. It provides a distinctive, long-lasting solution whether your project is upgrading your furniture, personalizing a car, or looking for fresh approaches to accentuate your room. Years to come will see designers and aficionados inspired by this straightforward but effective art style.
