Plot

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. The series invites audiences to reflect on the labyrinth of emotions and the unpredictable paths they carve through our lives.

G. Gowtham from India Herald stated that "Anger Tales, describing it as an anthology program that, on the whole, has its standout moments.
