Poster - Cuckoo Sings Spring, Unheard

The film follows Suresh, a percussionist who moved to Hyderabad in 1997 during the Human Rights and Dalit Rights movement. Despite deep musical knowledge, he struggles for recognition, performing mainly at public meetings and political gatherings. His artistry remains unacknowledged, as he sings and plays with quiet persistence, yearning for his voice to be heard.
