Question

Name your top 5 favourite Telugu movies of 2019?

Comments

2019 was pretty bad as far as Telugu films go & it's even tougher to pick best 5.

Have heard a lot about Mathu Vadalara but haven't watched it. So among the rest,

1. Brochevarevarura - good sweet simple film with good comedy.
2. Jersey - lacks repeat value but really a good film.
3. Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya - Naveen Polishetty show but the film is at it's best average.
4. Oh Baby! - again an average film. You can understand how bad 2019 was.

Among the box office hits.

1. Majili - blockbuster or not, definitely not a good film. One can watch for Samantha only.
2. iSmart Shankar - I had constantly check whether my ears bled or even my eyes. Yes it's a blockbuster but utterly terrible film.
3. F2 - honestly I laughed a lot in the first half. Second half extremely unbearable.
4. Maharshi - entire film itself was unbearable.
5. Chitralahari - only hype.

Among the biggies that didn't work -
1. Saaho - crap.
2. Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy - period crap.
3. Dear Comrade - wasted opportunity.

Mathu Vadalara had a great first half. But I didn't like the climax too much, as it involved a bit of "coincidence". But still, it's a great watch. I would recommend it

Answer 1

I recently watched Forensic the dubbed version of Malayalam Forensic movie. It was great.

The OTT services like iBomma have become a boon to such small movies as these can't afford for Theater releases

Answer 2

I literally watched only 6 telugu films of 2019
