Synopsis

Anger Tales

Anger Tales presents four stories about individuals grappling with intense anger in various life scenarios. In the first story, "Benefit Show", Ranga (played by Venkatesh Maha) passionately organises a special movie screening of his favourite actor. However, chaos ensues when a local leader named Sreenu takes advantage of the situation, causing complications with ticket sales and jeopardising Ranga's reputation. In "Food Festival", Pooja Reddy navigates the challenges of adhering to her in-laws' vegan lifestyle amidst dietary conflicts within her community. The situation intensifies when her doctor prescribes a diet conflicting with her newfound choices, highlighting the struggles one faces in reconciling personal preferences with societal expectations. "Afternoon Nap" follows Radha as she deals with the monotony of life, migraines, and an irritating landlady. Her unchecked anger leads to an unexpected act of revenge, unraveling the consequences of uncontrolled emotions. Lastly, "Helmet Head" focuses on Giridhar, who faces a series of setbacks, including unemployment and baldness. His quest for a solution disrupts his inner peace, triggering a rebellion and revealing the unexpected consequences of seeking resolution. Anger Tales weaves these stories to offer viewers a mosaic of human emotions, shedding light on the intricate fallout of unrestrained anger.

Barring Rajeev from Food Festival, the men in Anger Tales are written with compassion and nuance. Even Radha’s husband, who is your run-of-the-mill, middle aged Indian man, who as a character shows potential to be easily villainized, is treated with empathy. The women in this anthology get a rallying call-to-arms, to break free and lead lives on their own terms. The film’s stories are a delightful reflection of the director Prabhala Tilak’s aspirations for men and women, respectively. The layered writing of Anger Tales finds adequate support in its format-free, new age style of filmmaking that improves the film’s viewing quality enormously. Anger Tales requires a patient viewing and thoughtful introspection from the viewer, and once that happens, the film will resonate deeply with them, as they also get rightfully entertained.
