Zombie Reddy is a title that's hard to take seriously. And about 30 minutes in, you realise that even the movie follows suit. Written and directed by Prasanth Varma, this film is apparently the first attempt at the zombie genre in Telugu cinema, which sounds implausible considering the number of zombie-like characters that were featured in Telugu cinema over the decades. (Chiranjeevi's 1985 hit song Golimaar from the movie Donga had zombies running amuck and is still celebrated – so much so that it was borrowed for a scene in this movie.)
