5 Telugu movies that deserve more attention and praise

There was a time when I marinated with thoughts about media of my mother tongue. Tollywood is often known to be dramatic, illogical and sexist. But in my short years of curating talent for my own experiences, I've noticed that the real cream of talent (storytelling, action, music) is the movies that no one talks about because they're not trendy or because there aren't many supporters.

But now times have changed. The audience has evolved collectively and I, more loud about my interests. I present to you a list of the Telugu movies that deserve more praise but don't ask/promote because they're humble or true to themselves.

1.

Anand (2004)

Genre: Romance

Rating: 3.5 / 5

Story: Roopa is young when she loses her parents and younger brother to an accident. Anand is the son of the man who caused the accident. I won't spoil anything more because this deserves a fresh perspective to watch the first time around. If you watch it more than once, I do not blame you.

Why must you watch Anand: Anand is Sekhar Kammula's second project (the first being Dollar Dreams) and he shows a surprising amount of maturity in his writing and taking. He trusts his audience to know what he's saying and sticks to realistic characters. There is no bichda pyaar or pointless drama. Everything is for a reason whether you catch it in the first watch or not. Roopa and Anand are like the women and men you see and are irl. They make mistakes and learn along the way. The happy ending is well deserved.

Why must you watch Anand, except it's just about The Music: KM Radha Krishnan has a way with tunes. Every single song from Anand's album is a HIT. If Teluguvallu didn't watch the movie, they at least loved the songs. Many people (including me) knew about Anand for its music. Just... chef's kiss.

What I didn't like/thought could improve: The editing of scenes is choppy in few scenes.

Where can I watch Anand: Disney Hotstar (with subtitles I think) or youtube (no subtitles)

2.

Godavari (2008)

Genre: Romance, Slice of Life

Rating: 4 / 5

Story: Fed up with her parent's admonishments about her failing boutique and miffed about being rejected by a man for marriage, Sita goes alone on a cruise along the river of Godavari. Aboard the native cruise (also titled 'Godavari'), she meets Ram, an honest young man with a penchant for public service and dreams of becoming an earnest politician. Sita falls in love with Ram but feels miffed that he still has feelings for Raaji.

Why must you watch Godavari: For Teluguvallu who haven't been along Godavari river or are living abroad and never got to experience pure Andhra Pradesh way of things, Godavari is like a scenic handbook. The characters and their troubles are realistic and the movie is rich in parallels. Ram is the true embodiment of a gentleman or 'Lord Rama' and Sita is the relatable struggling artist who's boisterous yet thoughtful in her own way. And the music....if you're a telugite, then it's a festival.

What I didn't like/thought could improve: The editing, again, is choppy in some places.

Where can I watch Godavari: ZEE5

3.

Malli Malli Idi Rani Roju (2015)

Genre: Romance

Rating: 3 / 5

Story: Raja Ram is an aspiring athlete who falls in love with a woman in a burqa, Nazeera. Nazeera loves Raja Ram too but keeps her identity as the Girl in the Burqa a secret while getting closer to him as a music student of his mother's. The day he gets to know that Nazeera is the music student, something drastic happens which pushes him away from Nazeera who is forced to leave India by her father's orders. Years later, Nazeera enters a bet with her daughter to show her what real love is and takes her to India to show Raja Ram, who is now successful and still holds Nazeera in his heart.

Why must you watch MMIRR: The dialogues are very deep and the writing shows a bit more maturity than one would expect. Classic misunderstanding ensue but this story is the tale of faith, fidelity and patience for love. Nitya Menon shines.

Where can I watch MMIRR: Disney Hotstar

4.

Kshanam (2016)

Genre: Mystery, Thriller

Rating: 4 / 5

Story: Rishi, an NRI investment banker is beckoned to India by a call from his ex Shweta after years. She begs him to help her find her missing daughter who the world believes doesn't exist. What follows is a bone chilling chase to claw at shadows and unveil the secrets of the past.

Why must you watch Kshanam: (Ugh teluguvallu over here, pls look away if I simp for Adivi Sesh a bit too hard) Adivi Sesh, the actor who plays Rishi, also co-wrote this story. It was a low budget film made with approximately 20-30 crew members but excels in its storytelling and emotions. Kshanam is proof that budget is just a factor to storytelling, not the medium. There are no plot holes and everything is for a reason. All the facts are right in front of you and the plot twists are set up perfectly.

What I didn't like/could improve: The music could use some improvement.

Where can I watch Kshanam: Sun Nxt, MX Player (idk, but you HAVE to watch this, it's a must pls)

5.

Mahanati (2018)

Genre: Biopic

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Story: Mahanati (titled Nadigaiyar Thilagam in Tamil) is a movie that follows the life of yesteryear star actor Savitri Ganeshan (Keerthy Suresh) known for her tragic fate in love yet shone bright as the sun in the film industry. A to-be-married reporter Madhuravani (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is tagged with the job of writing a piece on a comatose Savitri Ganeshan. Though uninterested at first, Madhuravani is drawn into the maze of Savitri gaaru's life. Along with a photographer Anthony (Vijay Devarakonda), she explores the life of the golden years actress. The more she digs, the more she learns the lesson of her life.

Why must you watch Mahanati: It's a treat if you/your parents have grown up watching Savitri gaaru, it brings back old memories and the vintage feel. It is an emotional watch. Keerthy gives the best performance of her career. Flock over for Dulquer Salmaan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Vijay Devarakonda and cameos by surprising people.

Things I didn't like/could improve: The prosthetics weren't handled properly in some scenes (maybe it's because of the lighting ig).

Where can I watch Mahanati: Amazon Prime Video

These are some cherished pieces of art and I hope you'll like them. You need not agree or understand some mannerisms since they're native to Indian behaviour but I really hope you enjoy watching these. Film is becoming universal slowly, and let this be an effort to inspire interest in Telugu art. If you end up watching any of these movies and want a scene by scene desi explanation or want some context or any form of diction reference, ping me!

Just watched Major (2022)

Cried through the entire second half

#major #adivi sesh #Telugu #telugu cinema #I had 0 emotion for hotel mumbai but as always sesh’s writing shines so well in this one #direction and cinematography were also top notch we got some really cool shots

[onetimetwotimesthreetimess]

HENLOOOOO

Okay so. Fun fact. Adivi Sesh had to briefly wear blue eye contacts for one of his roles (not gonna say which movie, cause his eye colour is a major spoiler - yeah you read that right sksjskks)

So. Anyway. Sesh as Alec, blue eyed version-

(Also, YES he looks so freaking beautiful in this shot I’m-)

SHUT THE FUCK UP THIS IS INSANE. OMG HE LOOKS SO GORGEOUS I CANNOT. BLUE EYES ADIVI SESH I HAVE NO WORDS ONLY I HAVE ASCENDED.

I’ve watched Major twice more I’m so obsessed with the movie and him send help—

me after finding out about this

#adivi sesh #alec lightwood

[magnus-the-maqnificent]

Hello hi.

So I was watching Major yesterday. It started playing and I was watching it distractedly and then 10 minutes into the movie I was like—I’ve seen this guy somewhere. I mean ofc I’d seen Adivi Sesh in movies before but I was like no I’ve seen him somewhere else too. And then 15-20 mins into the whole thing I was like—this dude would make a great lrhwy Alec cause he’s in the army right? and then suddenly I realised this is the dude you fancasted as Alec I’m so stupid sksksksks.

Anyways, Adivi Sesh was so amazing in that movie and istg he’s the perfect Alec. Physique, height, hair, everything else.

Anyways point was—- TOP TIER CASTING. I am even more obsessed with him now.

Also if you haven’t watched the movie, you should (If it’s not triggering for you ofc). It was terrific.

okay byeeee🌻

NUUUUU HOW DARE YOU WATCH MAJOR BEFORE I DID 😭😭😭

Skzjsjsjs I was literally planning to take screenshots of him in that movie and send em to you for lrhwy but ig I don't have to do that anymore 😂

I KNOW RIIIGHT. LIKE.

Imagine him as a younger Alec 🥺

Also this 🥺

(I lifted these off of google sksksksk)

ANYWAY I also recommend you watch his holy trinity of movies (which is just like… the first three movies he’s the protagonist in, major is the fourth, but they’re so good and he’s got superior taste in script selection so they ARE a holy trinity) - Kshanam, Goodachari and Evaru. All of these movies have some triggering content in them tho - Kshanam deals with gaslighting and mental health issues, Goodachari is a spy thriller so there’s obviously violence, and Evaru has some heavy scenes about rape (there’s a couple of flashbacks too) in the first half, soooo take care, you don’t have to watch any of these movies if these topics are disturbing or triggering for you 🤗

Bubyeeee!! 😘

#most of sesh’s roles are side characters and cameos #and so far he only has 4 movies he’s a protagonist in #buuut goodachari is getting a sequel so that’ll be 5 soon 🥳 #kshanam was unfortunately remade into bhaagi 2 just so you know :’) #so if you’ve watched it you’ll be familiar with the story but watch kshanam for Adivi sesh anyway #blues and then purple pink asks #adivi sesh #don’t mind me ramblings

Major: Bollywood Movie Review

Inspired by real life story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishanan (Adivi Sesh), serving in the 51 Special Action Group of the National Security Guards in India, “Major” movie is a heart touching tribute to the soldiers who live and die by the ideals to serve the nation and protect others who are weaker to defend themselves.  Major Unnikrishnan was killed in action during the November 2008 Mumbai attacks…

As much as director Rajamouli makes a movie, he promotes it even better. The promotional strategies followed by him are good to take the film strongly to the audience. That is why he is called Mastermind. Recently, he gave me some great advice about being a natural star.

'Hit-2', produced under the banner of Wall Poster Cinema owned by me, will hit the screens on December 2. It is the sequel to the hit 'Hit' which released in 2020. It has already been announced that a total of seven films will be released in this franchise. But Rajamouli advised that it would be better to follow a strategy for the release of movies from this franchise.

Rajamouli attended the pre-release of 'Hit-2' on Monday evening as the chief guest. On this occasion, Rajamouli said, "There is no franchise like this in our country. They have made the audience interested in watching hit series without thinking about the hero and director. But it would be good if the movies from this franchise are released in the same season every year. So that the audience understands that this is a hit season. It should be released on time," Rajamouli suggested. For more information visit Teluguone.com official website
