Best Screenplay -

Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Pranay Reddy Vanga And Suresh Bandaru

Animal

Animal is an indescribable film. One can’t simply give a one-line narration to it. It starts with a child having daddy issues and then segues into an all-out war between members of the same family, much like the Mahabharata. The film’s ending presages another round of violence. It would have been hard to keep all the strands tied up together but the writers managed it somehow.
