A nonetheless from Pushpa: The Upward thrust.
Whilst Pushpa was once an enormous hit within the Hindi belt, the movie struggled to damage even in one among its house grounds, Andhra Pradesh. In spite of operating to packed properties since day one, the stringent coverage by way of the state executive on the time in regulating the film price tag costs undercut the earnings of the film.

Now not simply at the price tag home windows, the Telugu movie business additionally did ship a handful of fine motion pictures that rewarded the target market who braved the pandemic to take a seat and cheer in a packed cinema corridor.

The nice ones:
RRR

The emotional part of the film is engrossing, although it’s acquainted. And numerous credit score must cross to Revathy and Prakash Raj. They carry to existence the concept procedure of oldsters who’re unwilling to ship away their son to struggle on the borders. The movie has its flaws but it surely additionally has its moments.
Ante Sundaraniki
The construction of the narration is in easiest sync with the persona of its protagonist, Sundar, performed by way of an in-form Nani.

Virata Parvam
This movie results in the most efficient movies checklist by way of an excessively skinny margin.

The unhealthy ones:

Bangarraju
Bangarraju is the follow-up movie to Soggade Chinni Nayana. This additionally seems to be Nagarjuna’s try to spice up the performing profession of Naga Chaitanya.

Prabhas and Pooja Hegde in Radhe Shyam.
Radhe Shyam
After the humongous good fortune of Baahubali 1 and a couple of, Prabhas has fallen right into a lure of larger-than-life blockbusters. It doesn’t subject how unhealthy the film is but it surely must be fastened on expansive scale. It doesn’t subject if a film lacks center, and soul, so long as it’s humongous, Prabhas turns out to don’t have any qualms starring in it.
Bheemla Nayak
It’s the remake of the Malayalam hit Ayyappanum Koshiyum. Like Vakeel Saab, Pawan Kalyan reveals a option to make this movie, which was once firstly a struggle of egos that offers with elegance, social and cultural conflicts, all about himself.
F3
Director Anil Ravipudi is within the procedure of constructing F4 it sort of feels. The horror!
