Radio) is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language slice-of-life drama film directed by debutant Ashwin Gangaraju and produced by Padmanabha Reddy.

The film tells the story of tribal people in a remote location of Andhra Pradesh who treat a radio as a talking God.

A tribe in the forests hills of Andhra Pradesh lives under the tight grip of Dora (Lord in Telugu) who forbids anyone from entering or leaving the village without his permission.

Ranga helplessly begs God to save Giddadu, and the radio replies to stop the light before it reaches the hilltop.

The tribe for the first time watches the light (which is revealed to be the tractor's headlight) come down the hill and believe that Chandram is sent back by God.

On the other hand, Dora's child is dead and Sambadu complains to him that they lost their hold on the tribe due to the radio.
