Sandeep Raj's Telugu film Colour Photo, which featured Chandini Chowdary and Suhas, received the National Film Awards. The low-budget film beat over several high-profile releases from 2020 for Telugu's Best Film Award. The crew is shocked and overjoyed by this significant victory, despite the film receiving widespread praise from reviewers and viewers. Telugu viewers are happy of what they achieved after the lead actor, Suhas, shared an emotional video with the crew.
As they hugged and rejoiced at the significant victory of Colour Photo, Sushas and director Sandeep Raj can be seen with moist eyes. He shared the video to show how the Colour Photo crew has been together for many years, working on everything from short films to their debut feature. "After All Short Films cheskune Na Kodukulu," he captioned the video (Just Short Films making people).
The entire team received many well wishes in the comments, and even Chiranjeevi sent his congratulations, writing, "Hearty Congratulations to ALL the National Award Winners from across India. Our very own #ColorPhoto team Team #Natyam @Sudha_Kongara @gvprakash Team #SooraraiPottru & Team #AyyappanumKoshiyum among others!! #68thNationalFilmAwards.”
Color Photo received praise for addressing issues including prejudice, caste, and color. Both viewers and critics praised the film highly for its realistic portrayal of love, bigotry, and prejudice. The movie, which is set in the late 1990s, centers on the romance between a young couple named Jayakrishna (Suhas) and Deepthi (Chandini Reddy). Rama Raju (Sunil), Deepthi's brother, is obsessed with color and beauty and disapproves of Jayakrishna since the latter is dark and comes from a low background.
