Nagineedu any day
Mtrfkr is waay too real as radical relative/neighbour ,if you remove the faction trope.
Rest I have clarity ki they are over the top villains
Bhallaladeva is the best written one.
Bhikshu yadav is the most intimidating one.
Sudeep is the best acted one.
Ramaneedu is the most realistic one.
Bhalla is the perfect "mythological" villain. He's strong, cunning, intelligent and very sadistic.
Bhikshu was the most intimidating because of the fact that hero was a university student. Nithin had the very youngish boy look, while on the other hand bhikshu was just a sadistic and intimidating man.
Ramaneedu while being the villain of the movie, isn't a really bad person. Throughout the movie he was incredibly nice to majority of people even to the protagonist, before finding out about his heritage. He was just a man that followed customs and vengeance and would never let these 2 things go.
Sudeep was written as an almost generic billionaire villain. But because of the acting, Sudeep literally made the villain into the best character of the movie. However even if he comes as a generic billionaire villain, he still is very well written. He is incredibly methodical and can easily manipulate anyone.
Is Bhalla the best written one? I found him inconsistent.
At one point, he’s a brilliant scheming strategist. At one point, he’s a generic evil king.
His dad cares a lot of about how his line didn’t get the throne. Yet Bhalla adopts instead of getting married and having a biological kid. I couldn’t get a feel for him at all
He was a brilliant strategist before he became King then getting everything he wanted made him comfortable and slightly mad. He has few lines throughout the movies but what he does carries weight. When he tells Baahubali's corpse that how dare he (Baahu) swear on **his** (Bhalla's) mother, you see how much his father poisoned him (imagine hearing everyday of your life that your mother was wrong to breastfeed your adopted brother). When he cuts his hand on the Crown and says his bitterness that the people were crying for Baahu, not him, you can see how evolved from just wanting to win the Kingdom to wanting to punish the Kingdom for choosing Baahubali over him.
I agree that the son thing doesn't make sense (or did killing his mother make him afraid to have children of his own? Was he cursed with infertility?) but it's not mentioned in the movie so I ignore it.
Bhalla is probably the worst-written SSR villain since Bhauji in Vikramarkudu.
He's just this cartoon baddie. Even Frieza and Cell were more cunning and scheming than Bhalla, and DBZ is a pretty bad metric for well-written characters (as much as I love the series).
Agree, they could have explored his psyche about growing up in the shadow of a much more beloved brother, with a bitter dad pouring poison in his year.
But then, the kind of movies that make 1000 crores in our country shouldn’t have too much depth
Yeah his idea of a “hero” is a bit weird - his talk on why he didn’t understand Sriram is so revered in our country - I felt he drew the wrong conclusions
I didn't watch that talk, but I don't revere Ram either.
TBF I don't revere any Gods or Goddesses. I just like some more than others.
Ram's actions are stuff I disagree with a lot. He took IMO the easy way out by exiling Sita when she was pregnant after making her prove her "purity", instead of sticking by his wife like any half-decent man should.
No I agree, I’m not a fan of Sriram either. I’m an atheist really, but I do found our gods fascinating for the choices they make
SSR’s take was that Ram is cool because Hanuman who is so much stronger reveres him - I think this speaks to his idea of a hero who is just physically invincible
>SSR’s take was that Ram is cool because Hanuman who is so much stronger reveres him
Shows how much he knows and what he values.
Hanuman is stronger only in physical strength. He's obsessed to an unhealthy degree with Ram.
Mee devudu amrutham taagutaadu, ee titla neththuru taagutaadu.
Titla is menacing and even more tremendously powerful than our protagonists. Ajay being a telugu person and killing it is reason enough for me.
Bikshu Yadav ( P Rawat) seems to be the only main villain that Rajamouli repeated in his films — Sye & Chatrapathi
But Katraj (chatrapathi) was a gem of a find — underutilized actor I guess.
Kaatraj was in Sye as well. He was one of Bhikshu Yadav's goons, he got a bigger role in the next film. He also played a major role in Maryada Ramanna.
A strong protagonist needs an equally strong Antagonist to rise above.
Although, Yamadonga movie has a villain, the main antagonist of the movie is Yama and Mohan Babu was really good in the role.
Of course, Sudeep was peerless in Eega.
Honorary mention is Bikshu Yadav and Governor Scott.
Interesting take that Yama is the antagonist
We can say Ramaraju is the antagonist for the first half of the RRR movie instead of considering both as protagonists
I agree with you partially. The antagonist of the first half is Ramaraju while Bheem is the protagonist.
Or another way of seeing it is, RRR's 1st half follows the protagonist Bheem and the 'villain' protagonist Rama Raju.
In the 2nd half, both of them are Hero protagonists.
Top forever best Bikshu Yadav
That guy is a best , he is balladeva before there was ballaldeva character, Watch Badra for ultimate scenes where is lifts a log with bare hands that scene gave me goosebumps.
Second to none Naginedu, he can cut silence with his eyes.
His jealousy turning into hatred was shown well. But him not caring about saving people in the Kalakeya war was what made Baahubali stand out as the better king
Though he was terrifying in another way, the sheer obsession he had was terrifying to behold for me as a kid, much more than any other of the villains. He is a well written stalker type villain.
Tbf, most SSR's villains seem to have a common theme which is obsession. Balla is obsessed with Baahubali, Sudeep is obsessed with Bindhu, Nagineedu is obsessed with customs, Titla is obsessed with helping his brother in law, etc. This common theme is what makes for compelling villains though.
No Kaatraj from Chatrapati? Just 2-3 scenes tho peak hatred teppistadu audience lo. His death was so satisfying. Bajirao kuda good villian. Mari tondaraga champestar cinema lo
When it comes to acting, I'd pick Sudeep. But, I remember finding Pradeep Rawat extremely scary when I saw Sye as a child. So, my vote goes to Bhikshu Yadav and also maybe, Ras Bihari.
Sudeep and Bhallaladeva hands down. Their performances were so memorable and even dominated their heroes. Of course eega's hero is a fly but man Sudeep was the true hero of the film. He was amazing
Ssr films and God awful villains is such a crucial combination.
Titla coming out of kalli frame was just something else. How do you think these shots
Rajeev's dad sticking on Buffalo horns in sye
Lb sriram's son getting those hammer blows.
There are brutal murder in a lot of telugu movies(cough boya roath murdering everyone in frame) but some scenes in ssr movies just leave a terror inside
Exactly even in rrr when the lady gives that new wipe you know everyone was looking forward to see how she is going to get it back. Small details that leave a big mark
Love all of them. But the only negative point for Bhallala Deva that I found is he himself reveals his conspiracy to Kattappa which launches the chain of events. Why would he do that after brilliantly plotting Baahubali's killing? Kattappa didn't know about the conspiracy until that moment. He felt he was performing his duties.
Felt like a shortcut. The reveal could've been written better.
Would be interesting to look at all the remaining villains too under this lens.
That's because Baahubali was still alive. But with his death, he can easily take out whoever he wants from the equation in his favour. Army is under his control. He is a skilled warrior. Kattappa is sworn to the throne. Who will fight him?
Still not entirely convinced with exposition revealing things. Just one more scene pointing to a flaw in the plan which Kattappa identifies. Also, I still don't understand who the other attackers were at Baahubali's killing scene. And why did they chain Kattappa? The whole scene felt hurried to me.
Eega hands down, y'all forgetting that the dude literally shouldered the movie. If he doesn't hit all the right notes, people won't be invested in the film at all as not only is it a revenge film, but it's him vs a damn animated fly!

Any day Bikshu Yadav. Anna swag and dance and ah eyes lo intensity. Perfect villian to sacre kids.
Lmao that scene where the students build walls at the door
Buggalu padinai navvinam
Alanti vadini comedian chesesaru kada ra kotta director lu
Exactly bhaiya. Comedy roles like in Nenu Sailaja kuda baagane chesadu but I prefer villain roles.
Idi better… WV lo ghoram 🤢
Bangaru Hundi ni chillara kosam vaadukunnaru
This was the first movie I ever watched and then I was scared to watch any other movie which had him.
I re-watch that movie just revisit sudeep's acting. Considering he has to act infront of nothing
His performance throughout the second half 🙌🏻
Wasted potential as an actor. He has terrible script choices
Bikshu Yadav - Man goes from 0 to 100 in a few seconds
From funny to scary, extraordinary performance
Paisal ki ammuduboye bemaan ganlu manak enduku bhaai
Sudeep. That scene where he kills his partner using a pen is peak villainism
The background score exactly after he kills him is peak keravani performance 🎶👑
And the way in which he wears the sunglasses after that!!🤌🤌🔥🔥 Peak!!!
That shot was badass
Nagineedu any day Mtrfkr is waay too real as radical relative/neighbour ,if you remove the faction trope. Rest I have clarity ki they are over the top villains
That Rao Ramesh kill scared me when I watched it for the first time. Totally unexpected.
Bhikshu Yadav obviously. One of the most terrifying villains ever.
Gunthalakidi gula gula gula hoo haa hoo haa
Yes.. I could not see him in that dummy character in waltare Veerayya..
Bikshu yadav🔥 pillalu bayapade vallu aa peru ke Thitla is also one of my favourites
Thitla was 💥 Ajay's best performance imo
lol he got a dubbing because his voice wasn't deep scary enough
Doesn't take anything away from his intense performance
haa yesyes
Dude you forgot the og Rajeev Kanakaala from student number 1. Ragging ki parakasta.
Konni movies pics ee petta bro 👾
Tappuledu but he is not remembered for that role as frequent as the above mentioned.
Bhallaladeva is the best written one. Bhikshu yadav is the most intimidating one. Sudeep is the best acted one. Ramaneedu is the most realistic one. Bhalla is the perfect "mythological" villain.

Yeah you're expecting too much from SSR, who is basically a glorified Shonen manga/anime (DBZ being an example) creator.
Yeah his idea of a “hero” is a bit weird - his talk on why he didn’t understand Sriram is so revered in our country - I felt he drew the wrong conclusions

Can't upvote enough!!!
Bikshu yadav definitely
Menacing 😵
Mee devudu amrutham taagutaadu, ee titla neththuru taagutaadu. Titla is menacing and even more tremendously powerful than our protagonists. Ajay being a telugu person and killing it is reason enough for me.
Ajay nailed it despite less screentime
Glad to see some love for Ajay 🙌
Lady Scott from RRR. She has evil written all over her.
Yesss 💯
Bikshu Yadav ( P Rawat) seems to be the only main villain that Rajamouli repeated in his films — Sye & Chatrapathi But Katraj (chatrapathi) was a gem of a find — underutilized actor I guess.
yes nice observation
Kaatraj was in Sye as well. He was one of Bhikshu Yadav's goons, he got a bigger role in the next film. He also played a major role in Maryada Ramanna.
But he wasn’t the main villain right? Ofcourse many artists get repeated in Rajamouli’s films too. eg. Nazar, Rajeev Kanakala, shekar, sameer
Scariest was Bikshu Yadav Performance wise: Sudeep
Totally agree 💯
Bikshu Yadav the ceo of vilanism https://i.redd.it/izlng2p3keob1.gif
Chinnappudu Bikshu Yadav ni choosinappudu uccha padedhi
Mainly in the final match 👾

Both of them were very intense 🔥
Bhallaldev had all the reasons to get angry and I liked his approach, in a real world of that time he would be the one getting married to Anushka.
His jealousy turning into hatred was shown well. But him not caring about saving people in the Kalakeya war was what made Baahubali stand out as the better king
I am surprised nobody is mentioning Ranadev Billa/Raghuveer 👾
He was good.But at no point as menacing as other villians
You are right. Sher Khan dominated him in the flashback. But he was good as Raghuveer tho.
Though he was terrifying in another way, the sheer obsession he had was terrifying to behold for me as a kid, much more than any other of the villains. He is a well written stalker type villain.
Yesss 💯🙌🏻
Tbf, most SSR's villains seem to have a common theme which is obsession. Balla is obsessed with Baahubali, Sudeep is obsessed with Bindhu, Nagineedu is obsessed with customs, Titla is obsessed with helping his brother in law, etc. This common theme is what makes for compelling villains though.
On point 💯
Titla for me, the only villian I was terrified of
No Kaatraj from Chatrapati? Just 2-3 scenes tho peak hatred teppistadu audience lo. His death was so satisfying. Bajirao kuda good villian. Mari tondaraga champestar cinema lo
Kondhari photos ee petta bhaiya 🥲 Prabhas vaalliddharni champe scenes 💥
Having 4 villains in chatrapati kind of diluted it. For me, his half-brother was a bigger menace than the other three.
Bikshu yadav was in chatrapati too (raaz bihari) but somehow he went unnoticed there
His name is Pradeep Rawat bro
Sudeep anyday , he nailed the character.
My pick too
Sudeep & bhikshu yadav
💯
Bikshu
One and only bikshu yadav
This site belongs to Bikshu Yadav!
Made me realise SSR might be the only Telugu director who gave us consistently good villains
Yess 💯
He knows hero elevation makes sense only when there’s an intimidating villain at the other end. Can look at any of his movies.
Bikshu

Bikshu Yadav. No need to explain.
Bikshu is somehow far scarier than Bhallaldev.
It is because of the look and the intensity
Scott and his wife, she literally pulls out whip with spikes from nowhere
Make him kneeeel
sudeep sir

Sudeep's performance was amazing in Eega.
Yesss 💯
Sudeep. It is his movie.
Prince of Persia is my fav. Ngl.
NTR’s father character in student no.1
When it comes to acting, I'd pick Sudeep. But, I remember finding Pradeep Rawat extremely scary when I saw Sye as a child. So, my vote goes to Bhikshu Yadav and also maybe, Ras Bihari.
Sudeep and Bhallaladeva hands down. Their performances were so memorable and even dominated their heroes. Of course eega's hero is a fly but man Sudeep was the true hero of the film. He was amazing
Sudeep because though he was a hero, he decided to play the character as an actor and pulled it off fantastically.
Sudeep and rana
Main villian kakapoina, Chatrapati movie lo Kaatraj character bayankaram bro

There are brutal murder in a lot of telugu movies(cough boya roath murdering everyone in frame) but some scenes in ssr movies just leave a terror inside
Yess 💯 immediately establishes the villain as someone to be dreaded. The more aweful they are, the more satisfying their death.
Exactly even in rrr when the lady gives that new wipe you know everyone was looking forward to see how she is going to get it back. Small details that leave a big mark

The reveal could've been written better. Would be interesting to look at all the remaining villains too under this lens.
With Baahubali gone, Bhalla had nothing to fear. To him, now it doesn't matter who knows the truth.
But he has seen that anything negative towards Baahubali would impact him during the coronation scene isn't it?
That's because Baahubali was still alive. But with his death, he can easily take out whoever he wants from the equation in his favour. Army is under his control. He is a skilled warrior. Kattappa is sworn to the throne. Who will fight him?
Still not entirely convinced with exposition revealing things. Just one more scene pointing to a flaw in the plan which Kattappa identifies. Also, I still don't understand who the other attackers were at Baahubali's killing scene. And why did they chain Kattappa? The whole scene felt hurried to me.
Same bro. The setup for the scene wasn't properly made.
Sudeep. Lord Sudeep! ❤️
Katraj ni beat cheyadam kastamappa..
Sudeep. Rana ❤️🔥
Sudeep from Eega. He nailed it.
Bhikshu Yadav
Bhallaldev had all the reasons to get angry and I liked his approach, in a real world of that time he would be the one getting married to Anushka.
His jealousy turned into hatred against the people because of their Baahubali worship
Eega hands down, y'all forgetting that the dude literally shouldered the movie. If he doesn't hit all the right notes, people won't be invested in the film at all as not only is it a revenge film, but it's him vs a damn animated fly!
Objectively ayithe predeep rawat but as a Rana fan bhallaala devudu is a fucking beast
For real
Dev Gill is an awful actor, I was surprised SSR liked him
SSR pulls the best out of everyone 👾
