After the massive success of Baby, Anand Deverakonda’s latest film to hit the big screens was the crime-comedy Gam Gam Ganesha. Set against the backdrop of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, the film connects various characters and plot points to create an interesting story.
Despite the decent attempt, the film failed to attract moviegoers to the theatres and emerged as an underwhelming venture at the box office. However, it is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
4. PT Sir

5. Rasavathi
