‘Camera…Light…Action!’ and the performance takes over. The ‘dishoom dishoom films‘ of South Indian heroes vs villains transport us to a realm of amazing feats. If you’re a fan of action films, you’ll never want to miss a Telugu film. There are several successful action heroes such as Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Prabhas, Ramcharan, Mahesh Babu, and Allu Arjun. However, which movies shouldn’t you miss? Here’s a list of the best Telugu action movies you should watch!
Simha
Boyapati Srinu directed the 2010 action drama film, which features Nandamuri Balakrishna as well as Nayantara in the key roles.
Simha is a tale of vengeance between two families. Some of the traditional aspects, such as the father being slain by the antagonist’s henchmen and the son exacting retribution upon learning of this, are very silly, but that is how action films are, and it seems to pack a lot of action and harsh language, making it unsuitable for youngsters.
Okkadu
Okkadu is a 2003 box office smash. This film was directed by Gunasekhar and stars Mahesh Babu with Bhumika Chawla. The narrative follows a man (a Kabaddi player) who serves as a guard for a woman, saving her from an undesirable marriage and sheltering her through her inevitable days of struggle and uncertainty. In Bollywood, this film is titled ‘Tevar’ and stars Arjun Kapoor.
Yevadu
Yevadu, directed by Vamsi Paidipally, is one of Ram Charan’s finest action flicks. The film, which also stars Shruti Haasan, Allu Arjun, Amy Jackson, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sai Kumar, allegedly grossed Rs. 49 crore at the box office. The film’s premise centers on a new couple who finds love over everyone’s opposition. However, a local criminal infatuated with the girl intends to murder both of them.
Pokiri
Puri Jagannadh’s action thriller starring Mahesh Babu was a triumph. If you are a ‘Salman Khan’ fan, you may recognize this film as the remake of the hit film ‘Wanted.’ Mahesh Babu was surely lovely to watch. A street murderer (Pandu) with another identities and ulterior intentions for joining the underworld, everything turn upside down when his true identity is revealed.
Magadheera
Magadheera is a fantasy-drama film that includes action sequences. Ram Charan stars in the film as a motorcycling stuntman who remembers his prior existence as a fighter and chases the embodiment of his love. S.S. Rajamouli directed the film, which stars Kajal Aggarwal, Dev Gill, Srihari, Sarath Babu, with Sunil.
According to reports, the film made over 1.5 billion dollars worldwide and remained for many years the highest-grossing Telugu movie of all time. Additionally, the film was nominated for a National Film Award for Best Special FX at the 57th National Film Awards.
Vikramarkudu
S.S.Rajamouli’s 2006 social issue/action film, Vikramarkudu stars Ravi Teja with Anushka Shetty in the key roles.
A dedicated and upright police officer pursues thugs but is ripped apart and bashed up by local politicians who profit from terrorizing the populace. While searching for his daughter, he has serious head injuries and is hospitalized whilst his squad locates a lookalike who is a thief. The doppelganger must assume his position and correct the situation. It gained critical accolades upon release and was deemed a box office smash.
Pogaru
Pogaru is a 2021 Indian Kannada-language action film produced and directed by Nanda Kishore and directed by B. K. Gangadhar. It was written by Arunbalaji. Dhruva Sarja and Rashmika Mandanna feature in the film, with Chikkanna, P. Ravi Shankar, Pavitra Lokesh, with Raghavendra Rajkumar in supporting parts, as well as Sampath Raj, Dhananjay, Kai Greene, Morgan Aste, and Dharma in villainous roles.
Shiva (Dhruva Sarja) is a very young guy who despises his stepfather and is desperate to find his biological mother. Only under dictatorship could a young guy who thinks that ruthlessness is all about money be honored. How Shiva evolved from a villain to a hero is worth seeing to learn what prompted this transformation and also how to stand out like a hero.
Baahubali: The Beginning
Now for the ‘Show Stopper’ on our best Telugu action movies list. Is there anybody present who has never heard of this film? ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ is one of the best works of art to have occurred in the Telugu cinema industry and across India. The extraordinary collaboration between Vijayendra Prasad’s narrative and Rajamouli’s exquisite directing got things halfway done. The narrative is excellent, as is the cinematography. The story takes place in ancient India (Mahishmati). An ambitious and brave man becomes embroiled in a decades-old rivalry between two brothers over the Emperor’s throne.
