Top 10 Best Telugu Movies of All Time

Telugu cinema, also known as Tollywood, has been delivering incredible films for decades. These movies are action-packed, emotional, hilarious, and everything in between.

From epic period dramas to slick modern thrillers, Telugu films have something for everyone. Whether you're into larger-than-life heroes, powerful storytelling, or jaw-dropping visuals, there's no shortage of options to choose from.

The Top Ten

  1. Dookudu

    I agree! Dookudu has it all: romance, intensity, comedy, and many more elements that make this movie unbelievably awesome!

    SSMB is one of the most such heroes and his acting in this film is extraordinary. There are no words to describe the acting of the prince.

    Nice movie and fantastic acting by our superstar Mahesh Babu.

  2. Gabbar Singh

    Gabbar Singh is the best ever flick. Though it was a remake, he carried it so well and even dominated the original. Pawan will soon become popular all across India with his attitude and great character in his real life.

    Very nice movie of Power Star Pawan Kalyan.

    Excellent movie with super stills and an excellent performance by Pawan Kalyan.

  3. Magadheera

    Awesome movie of the decade. I prefer the visual effects in this movie to those in Baahubali. It is better than Baahubali, and the budget was much lower. Such a great film.

    It was only Ram Charan's second movie, but the level of acting he demonstrated was comparable to his 102nd movie. Even the ticket prices at that time were very low compared to now. Yet, it did a massive collection and was an industry hit at that time.

    Magadheera is an all-time blockbuster movie in Tollywood. It first created record breaks in South India. Ramcharan was an all-rounder.

  4. Attarintiki Daredi

    This movie encompasses all emotions with the best actors' performances. Pawan Kalyan is at his best. You won't find a single frame boring.

    Even though only the first half of this movie was released initially, it became a blockbuster because of Pavan Kalyan...

    In any way, whether it's comedy, drama, story, or any genre, it is the best ever Telugu film.

  5. Baahubali: The Beginning

    Baahubali and Baahubali 2 are the best South Indian films of all time. I started watching South Indian films after watching Baahubali last year. This year, Baahubali 2 has broken all records.

    All the actors, Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Ramya Krishnan, and Satyaraj, acted so well. I became a fan of everything about Baahubali, especially Prabhas and Anushka, who have become some of my favorite actors and actresses.

    Congratulations to the Baahubali team. You deserve this success. Best wishes for all of your upcoming projects.

    The war formations that form a chunk of the latter portions of the film are the best we've seen in Indian cinema so far. These portions are spectacular and show the technical finesse of the cinematographer (K.K. Senthil Kumar) and the visual effects teams.

    The waterfall, the mystical forests and water bodies above the cliffs, and the lead pair escaping an avalanche all add to the spectacle. Give in to its magic without drawing comparisons to Hollywood flicks.

  6. Athadu

    This is the best movie ever in the world, showing each and every relationship so well.

  7. Yamadonga

  8. 1 Nenokkadine

    I am a North Indian, but this film got my attention to Telugu movies. They are the best! Hindi cinema just copies Telugu films and makes them super hits. And Mahesh Babu is a classy actor!

    A flop because Tollywood wasn't ready for this complicated storyline. A flop movie that made everyone involved in the project proud. Don't miss it! It's one of the best movies out there.

    The greatest Indian psychological thriller ever made. It deserves a higher position.

  9. Race Gurram

    I like Allu Arjun's dialogue delivery and comedy angle in this Race Gurram movie.

    Ultimate comedy. Beautiful Shruthi Hasan. Great acting by Bunny.

  10. Eega

    Shown up Indian movie standards to the world.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Fidaa

    What a movie. The Telangana slang is awesome, and I loved the love-hate-love story. Shekhar garu is the best.

  12. ?

    Swarnakamalam

    Special movie based on the fine art of classical Indian dances.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu

    It's a great film. It expresses an ideology of a common man by showing human values.

  14. Pokiri

    The wonderful script and fantastic acting of our Superstar Mahesh Babu have made this movie the best...

    The first film of TFI which made all proud! Superb performance by superstar Mahesh sir and big congratulations to Puri sir for making this film!

    Excellent actor Mahesh Babu has the guts to accept a movie like '1', which was the most stylish movie to date in Telugu.

  15. Mayabazar

    This is the best movie I have ever seen, with legends who have amazing expressions and dialogue delivery. Nowadays, we can't see acting like theirs.

    Forever and until the end of Earth, no other movie comes to stand beside this movie. It's a great movie and the king of movies.

    Greatest Telugu movie ever created. Hard to beat it, even in coming generations.

  16. Daana Veera Soora Karna

    Terrific showcase of a mythological incident by NTR. This film was acted in, directed, and produced by the late legendary actor NTR.

    An extraordinary film ever made in Indian cinema, directed, produced, and acted in by the late N.T. Rama Rao.

  17. Arya 2

    Romantic. Perfect love story. Comedy. A timeless film.

    A new trendsetter for the Tollywood industry with an extraordinary screenplay by Sukumar. Allu Arjun's dances are mind-blowing.

  18. Julayi

  19. Yevadu

    It's an awesome film. Super storylines.

  20. Rudraveena

    A decent movie that revolves around social awareness in villages.

    One of the best movies of the Telugu cinema industry. It's very sad to see most people voting for the latest inferior movies.

  21. Swathi Muthyam

    Good acting film for Indian tradition.

  22. Pathala Bhairavi

  23. Manam

    It stands out because of the super unique storyline. The best of the best! Don't miss it!

  24. Businessman

  25. Kushi

    It is very difficult to achieve an industry hit with a classy movie. But only Pawan Kalyan can achieve this. Kushi was the biggest hit at that time. Very different love story.

    It is a clean and green love story. The asset is one and only Pawan Kalyan.

    Evergreen love story. I think no film can repeat the magic of Kushi.

  26. S/O Satyamurthy

  27. Okkadu
