After the success of 'RRR' internationally, it is the turn of yet another Tollywood movie to get noticed on foreign shores.

In contrast to the big-ticket S.S. Rajamouli directorial, 'Balagam' (titled 'The Group' in the U.S.) is a relatively low-budget movie, but it did win two awards at the Los Angeles Cinematography Awards (LACA) for March 2023.
