The triumph of a film is often attributed to its narrative, the lead actor’s fame, and its soundtrack, yet the significance of background music (BGM) cannot be understated. A beautifully filmed scene can only reach its full emotional and dramatic potential with the appropriate BGM to enhance it. Directors, recognizing this, allocate as much attention to perfecting the film’s background score as they do to its songs, often through meticulous selection and multiple revisions. Despite the vast number of Telugu movies produced, only a select few have left a lasting impression primarily due to their exceptional BGM. Let’s explore some of these standout films.
