5 must watch Telugu movies in the last one year that no one can miss:

#1 Arjun Reddy

A movie that took the box office by storm last year, Arjun Reddy broke multiple stereotypes and emerged as a true gamechanger in Telugu cinema. From a gripping plot to the rip-roaring performances by the lead actors, Arjun Reddy gives numerous reasons to vouch for it.

#2 Rangasthalam

Rangasthalam currently stands as one of the biggest blockbusters this year. Starring an uninhibited Ram Charan in the lead, this film blew away the audience with its brilliant narrative and heart-touching emotions.

#3 Mahanati

Portraying the life story of legendary Indian actress Savitri, Mahanati struck a major chord with the Telugu audiences. Hailed for its sensitive way of dealing with the concept and top-notch filmmaking, this Keerthy Suresh starrer is one of the best biopics in recent times.

#4 Awe!

Amidst all the mainstream commercial lot that deals with the grisly revenge sagas and melodramatic love stories, Awe comes as a rejuvenating fresh breath of air. A movie that is considered to be a gem in various aspects, Awe is a small-budget film that truly leaves the film-lovers awestruck.

#5 Fidaa

Fidaa, which was made on a relatively modest budget, ended up making huge margins of profits in 2017. This Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi starrer, thanks to its relatable and convincing storyline, impressed audiences across all age groups.
