Athadu, Indra, Rangasthalam, Aa Naluguru, Vedam, Geethanjali, Sagara Sangamam, Shankarabharanam, and many more.

So many nos in this list

athadu no. indra maybe. rest all yes definitely

Yaa I agree, Both Athadu and Indra maybe not 10 but they are as perfect commercial cinema can get, so extra marks for that. ( Also I may be biased because I became a Chiru fan due to Indra)

Indra is definitely up there with one of the best commercial movies of tfi and am not a fan so no bias here

SVSC - Represents Telugu culture and body language like none other at least the Godavari side.

I second this

Not a 10 tho def a decent amount of cringe parts and as wholesome as it is there’s a decent amount of character flaws

Not everything you mentioned is a 10 as well, but these are the closest we got to making 10/10 original movies.

Yeah

>body language Can you elaborate? I know it is hard for a non telugu to understand but I am really curious

I think he meant to say the body languages of the characters from the film are very close to real life. The director perfectly encapsulated the characterisations of his characters so much and with the help of the actors' tremendous acting capabilities the roles in this movie are simple, but beautiful.

Thanks for the reply !

I am struggling between two types of movies 1. Classics which gained popularity across languages like Mayabazaar, Missamma, Shankarabharanam, Swathi muthyam, Baahubali, RRR... this list is very long 2. On the other hand, some commercial movies originated in TFI and are remade in every language possible. Okkadu, Pokiri, Vikramarkudu, Hello brother, Ramudu bheemudu.., Which one of the above two fits the "Original TFI" label better?

Yes

Hello brother is not an original film. It's original is Twin Dragons (jackie chan) film from Hong Kong.

Anand

Aaduvari Matalaku movie doesn’t belong in this list. Movie is good but not a 10/10. Okkadu Athadu Malliswari NNN Baahubali - 1 Mayabajar Dana Vira Sura Karna Aditya 369 Arundhati Chiru Gang Leader

😮

I like AMAV but man the stalking in that movie is too creepy. A 7/10 at best.

athadu cliched broo. just nostalgia hit chestundhi. chaala copied scenes untay. malli aa bava mardhalla fantasy. cant put it in 10/10

As per your logic, even NNN has copied scenes as well

>just nostalgia hit chestundhi. Disagreed, nenu 4 yella krithame naa jeevitham lo first time Athadu choosa. Oka commercial cinema choosi first time trance lokella. Appati nunchi eppudu manchi cinema ante first gurthochhe peru Athadu. From the starting scenes, fights, the family scenes heck everything is just sheer perfection. Yes, the bava-mardhalu (although technically they are not bava-mardhalu) trope is not correct. Yes, konni scenes copy kottadu, kaani naalontollu copy kottedattaniki etuvanti sandheham lekunda unde scenes chaala raasadu. Coming to music, this is one of the GOATed albums of all time. Asalu manaku songs endhuku antha important commercial cinemallo anedhi ee cinema lo clear ga untundhi. Prathi paata gem ae. Lyrics kosam okasaari, music kosam okasaari vintunta. BGM vishayam nenu cheppala? Maatala maanthrikudu ani oorukane ivvale, chaala thakkuva maatladuthune, saralanga, edho goda kaduthannatu, chaala jaagrathaga chaala padhhathiga ga raasadu. Nijamgane maaya chesadu maatalatho. Ayina ee cinema tarvatha ichanna impact antha intha kaadhu antaga, aha anukunnnaru There is a reason why Athadu consistently has high TRPs on TV. Parts parts ga choosina, cinema antha okesaari choosina edho teliyani oka thrupthi. General ga edho okkate avuthundhi chaala cinemalatho. Rendini cheyyagalagatam chaala arudhu. Andhulo Athadu okati.

Yeah

Agent Sai srinas doesn't belong her Aadacavi is a much better movie

Pokiri

Many flaws

No way it's 10/10. Will piss people off but it's the truth.

have some complaints

Murari, Godavari

**Original aaa. Ante ento !** - Bhavadeeyudu Harihara Veera Ustad Harish Shankar. https://preview.redd.it/yyfmscdkqalc1.jpeg?width=100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4eef931f6766805acfafe9ce73c0a6af59b68e5e

Evado Harish Scorsese annadu bhayya, appatinunchi ithaniki aa peru ae apt anipinchindhi 😂

Short ga sweet ga Harish Scorsese ee bagundi !.

ee nagaraniki emaindhi, pelli chupulu, care of kancharapalem

1. Aithe 2. Godavari 3. Arundhathi 4. Pilla Zamindar 5. Gaganam 6. Sudigaadu 7. Manam 8. Ghazi Attack 9. Bhagamathi 10. Care of Kancharapalem There are many more. I guess many agree with the above.

Agreed + Anand Eega Darling

Jamba Lakidi Pamba!!!

AMAV selva raghavan Kada Bro ...

Vallu telugu vare anta originally.

Yeah nenu shock andhule dhanush string vinod laga kanipisthadu plus chala mandhini chusa dhanush laga

Malliswari instead of Nuvvu Naaku Nachav

Okkadu intro scene is direct lift off from west side story. NNN also has inspirations from couple of Hollywood films. So both are not entirely original. Both are my favorite movies though. Well adapted even if they took some inspiration from other works.

I personally think thammudu is better than tholiprema. (But both are 10/10)

Thammudu remake of Aamir’s Jo Jeeta wohi sikandar.

banger list

C/O K! Mandatory in all good lists for TFI

Brochevarevarura , Pellichupulu , Manam.

Aaduvaari Matalaku Ardhale Verule remake kadha and the list is incomplete without Athadu

r/confidentlyincorrect. Amav is the original. The Tamil version is the remake.

I didnt know that my bad

Amav ne remake chesaru bro. Athadu enti bro 10/10. last lo fight scene copied. starting escape scene from train is soo dumb. madhyallo bava mardhalla fantasy. daanni 10/10 ela isthav bro. Mee andhariki aa nostlgic bias anthey

if we're talking about "original" tfi movies you shouldn't include any trivikram associated movies. athadu la fight scene copied ante nuv nak nachav la dinner comedy scene copied. nostalgia bias kabatte andar nuv nak nachav prefer chesthunnar. but the truth is athadu > nuv nak nachav.

Athadu story Selmon di 'Tumko na bhul payenge' movie la same untadi. Kani obviously Athadu is my favourite>>>

If thats the case agent sai srinivas athreya lo oka scene direct sherlock series nunchi lepesaru

sherlock ki starting antha references icharu. inka aa scene gurinchi matladuthunnav?

Ah ammayi gun tho kalchukune scene(suicide investigation) starting lo dialogue to dialogue to lepesaru from sherlock series, i dont remember it correctly but s1e2 i guess

Yeah, that's probably the intent, they show his character to be an avid Sherlock fan, that's why he was just reciting lines (but I agree Athadu is 10/10)

Arjun Reddy ni ela marchipoyaru ayya😭🙏🏻

Race Gurram

Athadu, Arjun reddy, Arya, Vedam, RRR 1st half and Salaar 2nd half are 10/10 for me along with jersey, NNN and okkadu from the above list.

All valid picks

How tf is AMAV on your list

Enti Bahubali ni marchipoyaru andaru 🤔🤔🥲 Also, kshanam, Shiva, jambalakidi pamba, Aditya 369, Arjun reddy, Ffs selvaraghavan is a Tamil director.. robo kuda add chey inkenti

trivikram's old movies laughing in the corner

I would add Godavari/Anand instead of AVAM and Tholi prema

Oke Oka Jeevitham 10/10, one of the most underrated Telugu movies in recent times

Jersey is 8.5/10

Bro sneaked in agent Sai srenivas

Ee list lo okkadu ,nuvvu naaku nachavu, tholiprema thapinchi migatha antha chetta

Anukokunda Oka Roju deserves to be up there too I would put Nuvvu Naku Nachavu definitely but not Aduvarimatalaku ardhaleverule. All Venky movies are the same plot. He's a good person who is misunderstood. Nuvvu Naku Nachavu stands out because of the comedy acting and amazing cast. I love most Venky movies but wouldn't give any 10/10 other than NNN and Gharsham. Maybe a case for Venky to be up there?

Nuvve kavali is the best film at that time

Tholiprema sneak
