Colour Photo is a 2020 Indian Telugu-language film directed by debutant Sandeep Raj. The story of the movie revolves around how a real practical love story ends up in the late 90s. It stars Suhas in his first-ever lead role, along with Chandini Chowdhary, Sunil, and ‘Viva’ Harsha, among others.

I always felt that cinema is not always about narrating a tale where, in the end, everything works in the favor of the protagonist or becomes positive towards the climax. It is also about showcasing the audience what they haven’t seen or what they didn’t come across in real life or what they can’t imagine that could happen, and so Colour Photo is one such film.

No debutant is flawless, so I never point out flaws in any first film of any director. However, I loved this thought-provoking movie so much that if it released in theatres in the upcoming months, I would watch it without any hesitation.

Colour Photo mainly focuses on racism in India in the late ’90s and how people used to treat others who were black or brown-skinned compared to those who were fairer in complexion.

Furthermore, I closely admired the work of Sandeep Raj and Actor Suhas right from their youtube channel ‘Chai Bisket’ days to their best work to date, the short film ‘The Athidi.’ So, I’ve always had this feeling that they would make it to the big screens, and here I’m happy that they got their mainstream success through Colour Photo.

Colour Photo is a step ahead in emoting the subtle emotions, especially in the sentimental scenes. Kudos to Suhas, ‘Viva’ Harsha, and Chandini Chowdhary, who made it look natural through their subtle acting. The screenplay is as simple as it can get, similar to many other films in the genre, but it is decent enough when it comes to the storyline.

The heart of Colour Photo lies in its climax, where the portrayal of emotions is miles ahead of other romantic films. Sandeep Raj did not spend extra time in additional elevations, songs, romance, humorless jokes, etc. Everything is as perfect as it can get for a film.

The lead pair and the supporting cast did a spectacular job, you can feel a sensible connection with them running towards the end of the film. Music and direction are the two eyes which uplift the film. Sandeep Raj proved that giving a social message with a happy/positive story is outdated, but doing it with a sad story is a gutsy thing. If you’re looking for a marvelous movie where you can connect yourself, watch Color Photo on AHA Video.
