Geetha Arts is an Indian film production and distribution company based in Hyderabad, primarily engaged in the production of Telugu-language motion pictures. Founded by producer Allu Aravind, the banner has been associated with several commercially and critically successful films in Telugu cinema since the 1980s and has also expanded into Hindi-language productions and pan-Indian releases. The company is one of the prominent banners in the Telugu film industry and is closely linked with the Allu family, including actors Allu Arjun and Allu Sirish.

The banner was established by Allu Aravind, son of Telugu comedian Allu Ramalingaiah. Aravind began his career in film distribution before moving into production, and Geetha Arts grew into a full-fledged production house through the late 1980s and 1990s. The company is named after a personal reference and has remained a family-managed enterprise, with Aravind's son Allu Arjun emerging as one of the leading actors of Telugu cinema and frequently associated with films from the banner.
Geetha Arts produces feature films and also operates in the distribution segment, handling theatrical releases of Telugu and dubbed films across the Telugu-speaking states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In the 2010s and 2020s, the banner expanded into pan-Indian productions, releasing films in multiple Indian languages, and entered Hindi-language production through co-production arrangements.
Geetha Arts 2 was floated as an offshoot of the main banner to encourage smaller-budget and youth-oriented films, with Bunny Vasu serving as a key producer associated with the venture. The unit produced films across multiple genres, helping introduce newer directors and lead actors. Bunny Vasu later became closely associated with allied production house GA2 Pictures.
Geetha Arts is regarded as one of the long-standing production banners in Telugu cinema, having produced films across four decades. Its productions have contributed to the careers of several Telugu directors, music composers and actors, and the banner has played a role in the wider commercial expansion of Telugu cinema, particularly through high-budget pan-Indian releases in the 2020s.
