“CAR” is not just a film — it’s a cinematic experiment that redefines the boundaries of real-time storytelling. Shot entirely in a single take, this 100-minute dashcam-style film delivers an unbroken, immersive journey through emotion, suspense, and raw realism — all unfolding inside a moving vehicle.
An Experimental Road Movie in Telugu
Belonging to the genre of experimental road cinema, CAR offers a rare experience in Indian filmmaking — especially in Telugu — by embracing the challenge of a single-shot narrative. The film never cuts away, never blinks, and never backs down from the tension that builds within the confined space of a car.
Storytelling On the Move
Directed and scripted by Suraj, CAR is a real-time journey that unfolds entirely through a dashcam’s lens. It’s an intimate, character-driven film with unexpected turns — powered not just by its technical daring but by emotionally grounded performances and a sharp, organic screenplay.
Cast and Crew
The film features standout performances by:
- Prudhvi Veeravelly
- Kiran Yarnam
- Jyothirmai Babu Manukonda
- Suresh Gangalakurti
- Gowreesha Nookaala
The writing and assistant direction come from Dharma Teja Reddy, who brings nuance and tension to a screenplay that thrives on natural pacing and silence.
Sound design and original music are by Bhaskar Appalla, whose minimalistic approach complements the single-take format, enhancing the atmosphere without overpowering it.
Backed by Passionate Producers
The film is produced by N M Pasha, Neena Madhu, and Suraj, under the banners of Entertainment Studio and CineCode Studios — two names emerging as champions of bold, unconventional cinema in Telugu.
Why CAR Matters
In an industry dominated by high-cut, fast-paced editing, CAR strips filmmaking down to its essence: time, space, and emotion. It challenges viewers to stay present, to listen deeply, and to engage without distraction — a daring feat in the digital age.
